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?

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.
