"I don't want the grades. I don't want the scholarship. I want you," he rasped, his grip on my waist tightening until it almost hurt. He was shivering, not from the cold, but from the sheer effort of holding himself back. "I've been in love with you since we were five, and it is a sickness. It's an infection. And the worst part?" He leaned in, his lips grazing my ear, his voice breaking into a sob. "I don't ever want to be cured." 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 What would you do if your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else? Even worse. She is that girl. Popular, cheerleader and horribly perfect. The one who makes all of your insecurities stand out. So I decided to hit him harder. The only thing that would piss him off more than seeing me with another guy would be seeing me with this guy. Because no one likes it when the enemy takes away something that used to be ours, not even when we left it behind as if it wasn't worth a penny. He hates him and it would be the perfect revenge. It really would if I didn't hate him even more. Growing up with the person you hate most in the world just because he's your brother's best friend is hard enough. Then imagine asking him to fake date you in order to make another guy jealous... Hopeless, huh? Well, consider me a hopeless cause because now, is the time for my revenge. 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

Joey already thinks this is going to be the hardest thing she's ever had to do in her life...and then she learns that they have to share a room. Standalone in the Just One Kiss series *** When her friends decide to plan a group holiday for the summer, Joey Winters doesn't expect the one person she hates the most to be a part of the plan, and she certainly won't let being around Kai Rutherford affect her rules: never forgive, never forget, and never fall in love.

Determined to make this work, Joey and Kai enter into a pact: they have to be civilized with each other all summer. If they don't, their friends will force them to stay in the creepy cabin included in their rental. Alone. Between passive aggressive compliments, late night arguments, and moments of confusing sincerity, Joey starts to wonder if she's had Kai wrong all along. And, just maybe, her friends will finally find out why she really hates him.

"I was trembling, the weight of the steel in my hand feeling alien and cold. I pointed it at him, my breathing hitching as he took a step forward, ignoring the muzzle pressed against his chest. "You're a monster," I whispered, my voice breaking. Alex leaned into the barrel, his icy blue eyes locked on mine. He didn't blink. He just moved until we were flushed against each other, his hands hovering over my waist. "The only one who can put a gun against my heart is the one who owns it. You, angel. Only my wife."" 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 What would you do if one day you woke up invited to... your own wedding? I spent five years playing parent to my two younger sisters, trading my dreams of figure skating for endless shifts, being the only one left to hold our shattered family together. But the life I built was ripped apart by a single envelope in my mailbox. I'm being married off to Alexander Sokolov. He was my high school obsession-the boy who haunted my thoughts for years-but he's also dangerous, cold, and drowning in secrets that leave a trail of blood wherever he goes. He's the last person on earth who should be around my sisters, and certainly the last person I should trust with my heart. Yet, when he offers to protect everything I love in exchange for my hand, I don't have a choice. I'm trapped in a gilded cage with a man who claims he's my husband. A man who pushes me, tests me, and pulls a side of me I didn't know existed-a side that's just as sharp and dangerous as his own. He thinks he's bought himself a sweet, compliant wife. He's about to find out that I'm the only one who can handle his darkness-and I'm not playing by his rules anymore. 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

"You really think I would've ruined it?" I asked quietly because I needed to know if she meant it. "You think I would've seen you-you-and turned around?" Her lips trembled, just a little. I ran a hand through my wet hair, heart pounding too damn hard. "If I'd known from the start that it was you writing those letters," I admitted, "I would've fallen ten times faster." 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 What would you do if the guy you've been in love with your whole life barely noticed you existed? Popular, confident, and just a little too perfect. Harry LeBlanc's my best friend's brother, the guy everyone loves, and the one person who's never looked at me the way I look at him. So when a school pen pal project pairs me with someone who actually sees me, I can't help but pour my heart out to this mysterious stranger. He's funny, thoughtful, and just the right amount of flirty. For the first time in years, I feel like I might actually be falling for someone who's not him. But life loves its cruel little games. Between tutoring sessions, late night chats, and the way Harry is starting to look at me like I am more than just his little sister's best friend, things are getting complicated and keeping me up at night. That's without counting on me to find out the most disturbing thing ever. Because, what am I supposed to do when the boy I have loved forever is the one who has been holding all my letters since the very beginning? 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

"I spent six years mapping out exactly how I'd make you hurt the way I did," he spat, cornering me in the dim hallway. "I told myself I was over it. That I was over you." He reached out, his hand hovering over my cheek before he pressed it firmly, his thumb tracing my jaw with an intensity that contradicted his cold words. "But the second you looked at me, Sloane, the anger just... evaporated. I didn't even make it past your front door before I was yours again. God help me, I never even left." 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 What would you do if your first love, your best friend, and the only person who understood you just disappeared without a single word? I spent years finding my own rhythm in a house full of loud brothers and baseball, with only my running shoes and my music for company. Until I met Liam. He was my garden, my secret, and my everything-before he vanished. Six years later, I've moved to a new town, and there he is. Only, the sweet, attentive boy I remember is gone. He's the school's notorious heartbreaker now, and for some reason, he looks at me like I'm the enemy. He thinks he can give me the cold shoulder and act like I'm a stranger? He's dead wrong. I'm not the quiet girl I used to be, and if he wants a war, I'm more than happy to give it to him. The boy I loved is a stranger now, and I'm about to find out exactly why he's so desperate to make me regret ever knowing his name. 𓆝 π“†Ÿ π“†ž π“†Ÿ 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

After a campus bet forces laser-focused figure skater Amara Desrosiers to fake date golden boy hockey captain Ethan Bennett, she must guard her Olympic-track focus as publicity, secrets, and undeniable chemistry threaten to derail both their seasons. *** Figure skater Amara Desrosiers starts her freshman year in Calgary laser-focused on scholarships, clean programs, and the Olympic track.

Between 5 a.m. practices, team after-parties, and the glare of university gossip, Amara fights to protect the dream her mother left her while Ethan tries to be more than a headline on and off the ice. When their bet turns into real stakes and their first "not-a-date" becomes very public, they'll have to choose: guard their goals-or risk them for something that looks a lot like love.
