River Williams is a master at playing the happy, normal college student. But behind her easy smile is a girl fighting a silent war against her own mind, living in the shadow of a high school mistake that cost her everything. She doesn't deserve love, and she certainly doesn't deserve JJ Belmont, the arrogant, fiercely protective hockey captain she accidentally shot down at a party two years ago. JJ Belmont doesn't do rejection. He definitely doesn't do River, the icy English major who has been a thorn in his side ever since she blew him off. But when his grades plummet, and his captaincy is threatened, he's forced to swallow his pride and beg his favorite enemy for help. The plan is simple: she tutors him, he passes, and they go back to ignoring each other. But behind closed doors, the animosity starts to blur into something scorching hot. But River's past is a landmine, and a single hidden secret is waiting to explode the trust they've built. *UNEDITED* ____________________ ✩ rankings: #1 SPORTSROMANCE (29/08/2026) #1 HOCKEYPLAYER (29/08/2026) #1 ROMANTICCOMEDY (22/07/2026) #1 COLLAGE (16/08/2026) #1 UNIVERSITY (01/07/2026) #3 MICHEGAN (05/07/2026) #3 JOCK (05/07/2026) #5 ROMANTIC (22/07/2026) [Word Count: 113,700+] Copyright ©2026 by Annabella May

In a town where the high school football team rules the school, Amelia is just another face in the crowd. Sure, her dad is the football coach but Amelia's idea of "Friday night lights" revolves around studying until lights are out. Trying to impress her father who only knows football and her mother's high expectations, Amelia puts her head down and tries her best to satisfy them. After accidentally ending up at a party one night (without her mother's permission of course), Amelia finds herself thrown into the world of the infuriatingly gorgeous yet arrogant Zack Darrington. Zack was never part of a crowd. He's king of the city: the best running back in the state- if not the entire country. Flirtatious, cocky, and a skilled player in all senses, Amelia is not the type of girl he typically surrounds himself with. Everyone knows Zack Darrington. No one knows Amelia Hayes. Football is his world while she wishes it wasn't a part of hers. At first glance, these two couldn't be more different but deep down, they may be more similar than they think.

SHORT AND FAST PACED STORY!!! ⚠️ "I've been trying not to do this" he whispers, his voice rough and low. "So stop trying" I whisper back. And then he kisses me. His lips are soft but insistent, coaxing mine open, pulling me deeper into him. One of his hands tangles in my damp hair, his fingers threading through the strands, tilting my head back slightly so he can kiss me the way he wants to. The other hand stays at the small of my back, his palm splayed wide, anchoring me against him. Chest to chest. Heartbeat to heartbeat. I lose all sense of time. All I know is the way his mouth moves against mine, the way his body curves into mine like it's always known the shape of me. The way his thumb traces lazy circles along my spine, sending shivers racing through my entire body. I kiss him back with everything I have, my hands fisting in the fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer. "This kiss just sealed the deal. You're mine and only mine now, Grace" Benjamin's voice is low and rough like gravel and laced with something primal.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Or at least she did until she got hurled head-first into the adventure of a lifetime⸺a treasure hunt that alters everything she thought she knew, everything she thought she felt. Caught somewhere between the two very different worlds of Kooks and Pogues, Mari is forced to confront loss and the intricacies of belonging, all while surviving a toxic ex and unraveling a web of family lies. Throw in the added complication of falling for her brother's best friend, and she'll quickly learn that in the sun-soaked chaos of the Outer Banks, nothing comes without a cost. Not even love.

It's always been the Pogues Vs the Kooks, only a handful on people have successfully managed to cross that line and it not end in disaster. There is no one that hates the Kooks more than JJ Maybank, after one night of heavy drinking he makes a seemingly innocent bet (to him) with John B to hurt a Kook but the repercussions are something no one ever expected it from. Nicoletta Richards is the unsuspecting Kook that JJ has got his bet set on. A Kook with royalty for parents, everyone loves her but the Pogues seem to think she worthy of being subjective to this bet.

After being abandoned by his mother at a young age, left to deal with his abusive father, JJ Maybank feels like he was stranded out at sea during a terrible storm, fighting to make it through each day. Even though he meets the Pogues at a young age, and they do make his life better, he's not able to shake the feeling. That all changes when he meets Abigail Grace. She comes into their lives, and makes JJ question everything he's ever thought about his life. Lighthouses have always been viewed as beacons of light, guiding lost souls, trapped in darkness, back where they belong. A symbol of hope and security. And that's what Abigail was to the Maybank boy. A beacon of light, constantly guiding him out of the darkness of his life.
