Freya Skye has spent years cementing her place in her family's London empire. She's professional, she's driven, and she's finally taken seriously-until Malachi arrives. Sent by his parents from across the globe to learn "responsibility," Malachi is the one person Freya has never been able to tolerate. Now, she's forced to share her office and her projects with him, and Freya is about to find out that her biggest professional threat isn't a market crash-it's the guy across the desk who knows exactly how to get under her skin.

𝑨𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 Freya Skye and Malachi Barton had everything money could buy-designer clothes, private drivers, and last names that carried weight in every social circle. But being born into wealthy families came with strings attached. When a business deal between their parents needed a little extra "convincing," the solution was simple: pretend their children were dating. Neither Freya nor Malachi asked for this arrangement. She thought he was arrogant, he thought she was impossible, and the last thing either of them wanted was to share the same spotlight. But with both of them attending the same prestigious school, the façade became their daily routine. Keeping up appearances was supposed to be easy. Yet between whispered rumors, staged hand-holding, and the pressure of living under constant watch, lines began to blur. And soon, Freya and Malachi would find out that faking something in public doesn't always mean it stays fake in private.

A figure skater (Freya) and a hockey player (Malachi) are forced to share rink time for summer training. They clash at first, but slowly learn each other's rhythms, both on and off the ice. They are forced to work on multiple duets together. Freya has things to deal with. Her mom and dad constantly being hard on. She had a minor injury she doesn't tell anyone about, not even her best friend. But she has to be perfect. For her parents. Her coach. The judges. Mainly herself.

𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘: Freya Skye Jones has made her previous burden an unexpected lover. Malachi Barton has gone from her irritating next door neighbor to an admirable boyfriend in just one summer. However, dating her previous best friend comes with its issues. Her popularity is rising exponentially, and his senior year is proving to be more stressful than expected. Balancing her relationship and perfection seems impossible, but no problem is too big when they have love...right?

Malachi. Hockey team captain. Every girl's dream boyfriend. Never met 'the one' until he has. Freya. Figure skater for fun. Never really thought about boys until she meets him.

~~UNFINISHED~~ Freya's parents moved to New York for new jobs and supposedly to live closer with their family, her aunt and uncle and four cousins. At her new school, kids are mean, kids are nice, some are even flirty. She gets a job at a local records store, with a guy from her school. He happens to be in her cousin's friend group. They hang out a lot, bonding over their love for music and such. One night she comes home and her parents are arguing, not normal. Then they start talking about her, saying how she's going to turn out like her aunt, who doesn't have a job and relies on her husband.

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐀 𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐄 has always been used to running alone. Volleyball captain, track star, and the kind of girl everyone admires from afar, she thrives on control-both on the court and on the track. But at home, her parents' wealth can't mask the cold, suffocating cruelty that defines her every day. She's learned early that no one will show up for her... and that's exactly how she likes it. 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍 has the opposite problem: everyone shows up. Football star, track sprinter, and all-around golden boy, he's surrounded by friends, family, and a little sister who worships him. He's used to support, praise, and having people rely on him. Life has always been... easier. They're both popular, in the same tight-knit friend group, and everyone expects them to get along. But Freya and Malachi don't. They clash at every practice, tease each other relentlessly, and can't seem to sit still in the same room without tension sparking between them. What happens when the girl who's learned to survive on her own meets the boy who can't stop trying to protect her? When rivalry becomes something more, and shared spaces-late-night practices, team hangouts, and races that leave them both breathless-force them to confront what they're really running toward... and from? A slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers story about resilience, family, and the courage it takes to finally let someone in. #1 field (08/02/26) #4 freyaskye (08/02/26)

When Hollywood's favorite heartbreaker meets pop's golden girl, the red carpet catches fire. Freya Skye and Malachi Barton are both beautiful, talented, and completely allergic to love. She flirts for fun - he flirts for sport. But when they're cast as romantic leads in a steamy new Prime Video thriller, their chemistry becomes impossible to fake. Between interviews, late-night rehearsals, and stolen glances on set, the line between enemies, co-stars, and something dangerously real starts to blur. The press calls them Hollywood's next "it couple." Too bad they both swore they'd never fall for someone like themselves. --- ⚠️This book has nothing to do with real life, and if you don't like it, just don't read and keep your hateful comments to yourself.
