Malcolm Carter never imagined raising four daughters alone. Three years after losing his wife to a brain tumor, his life is loud, messy, and filled with ponytails, homework, ballet recitals, and late nights trying to make sure his girls are okay. He loves them more than anything, but some days it still feels like the heart of their home disappeared when Aaleah did. Celeste Moore lives the opposite kind of life. A disciplined ballet instructor who thrives on routine and quiet, Celeste spends her days teaching children grace, focus, and confidence before returning home to peaceful nights with her cat. Her world is calm, structured, and carefully balanced. For four years, Malcolm's daughters have danced in Celeste's class. She watched them grow. She watched them grieve. She watched Malcolm do his best to be everything his daughters needed. But Celeste has one strict rule she refuses to break: She does not date the parents of her students. Especially not a single father with four daughters and a life full of chaos. Yet somewhere between late pickups, quiet conversations, and watching Malcolm braid his daughters' hair before class, the line between professional and personal begins to blur. Malcolm never expected to love again. Celeste never expected to want the kind of life he lives. But sometimes healing comes in the form of loud houses, messy kitchens, and one unexpected seat at the table. sometimes love looks like The Sixth Chair.

She's used to being under fame's spotlight, especially now that she's been recruited to be on England's women's swim team. It's one of many goals that she's been working towards since she was eleven and if she stays on track, she'll achieve her dream of being at the Olympics. Her parents aren't helping with the pressure, but she knows she can do this, she has it all planned out━ but she doesn't predict a certain grump entering her orbit. 𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐃𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝚰. Son of Kaito and Hanako Hayashi. The media calls him "the UK's rising basketball star". He's been under the media's gaze since he was born, especially since he's following his father's footsteps in becoming a basketball great. He's already halfway there since he's this year's basketball captain. All he has to do is lead his team to victory and be scouted by an American team before the school year ends. It's a lot of pressure, but he's sure he can handle it and stay focused━ until a certain swimmer crosses his path and he can't stay away. ━━━━━━ ♡ ━━━━━━ ❝ His thumb stroked down my throat and my breath hitched as he took in the paint I'd decorated my face with for his match. "Beautiful." He didn't even seem like he was aware that he'd let out the mumble. "Can I?" I only noticed my mouth was dry when I tried to speak, so I swallowed. "Can you what?" A corner of his lips tugged up as his thumb brushed over his number on my cheek. "Kiss you. You'd be supporting me even more if you wore something of mine, Bambi." ❞ ❪ DUAL POV / CHRISTIAN BOARDING SCHOOL SPORTS ROMANCE / CHECK TW'S ❫
