Alex swore no hockey player would ever touch her, especially not Jaxon Cross-the campus playboy known more for his bedroom skills than his game. But when a no-strings hookup pact turns into something deeper, she's forced to choose between keeping it casual or risking her heart. ------- Alex loves sex... maybe a little too much. Her last hookup left her dry spell even drier, and she's convinced no guy can ever satisfy her until Jaxon Cross. Jaxon is Northridge's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has nothing to do with the ice. Rumors of his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, and while he secretly hates the image he's built, he can't escape it. When Alex and Jaxon cross paths, sparks fly-but not the good kind. She can't stand him, and he's addicted to the way she looks at him like he's the worst kind of mistake. Then Jaxon overhears her venting about her lackluster sex life... and makes her an offer she doesn't expect: a no-strings hookup pact. Alex doesn't do hockey players, especially ones with reputations like his. But eventually, curiosity wins. And what starts as a physical arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them bargained for. Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body. He makes her laugh, surprises her with his sweetness, and shows her a side no one else gets to see. The more Alex falls, the more terrified she becomes. She swore this was only about pleasure. He wants more. And now she has to decide if she's brave enough to want it too. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

ONGOING ⏳⏳ She whimpers and wiggles on top of me. I grab hold of her hips to still her and shallowly pump into her. "Don't move." I say. "I can't stop, it feels so good." She moans and moves slowly. ____ Sam McCoy and Diana Cassidy have always lived in that fragile space between friendship and something more. Back in senior year of high school, one night changed everything. The Pact, they called it. It was supposed to protect what mattered most. Now, in their final year of college, The Pact still hangs between them in stolen glances, too-close nights, and feelings neither will name. Both are terrified of losing each other. But the longer they wait, the more likely it is they run out of time. Because something does happen. And by the time they're finally ready to be honest, it just might be too late. ___________________________ Best rankings: #1 in pact #1 in freaks #1 in itwasalwaysyou #3 in childhoodfriends #3 in heartproblems Picture on the cover isn't mine Started 07/08/2025 Finished ??/??/????

COMPLETED ✔️✔️ "You're meant to hate me." I say, but it comes out more like a question than a truth. "I'm gonna fuck you as hard as I hate you." He says and the next second his mouth crashes onto mine. ____ They don't like each other. Like at all. Alex Black and Nadia Thorpe aren't friends in the slightest. They're what you'd call 'enemies'... or rivals. They despise the others' presence. They avoid each other at all cost, and neither will back down in a fight. Fast forward three years after they met, and they barely tolerate each other. And seeing each other at the off-campus yearly Halloween party makes things ten times worse, especially when they realise they've accidentally matched costumes... Oh and have I mentioned that they're part of the same friend group? _____________________________ Best rankings: #1 in collegeromance #1 in halloween #1 in forcedproximity #1 in costume #1 in party #1 in icehockey #1 in rivalstolovers #1 in friendgroup #1 in frenemies #1 in lovestory #1 in insomnia #2 in slowburn #2 in fire #3 in slowburn #3 in halloween Picture on the cover isn't mine Started 21/8/2024 Ended 19/8/2025 no
