Madison Rosales is not your typical 22- year-old. While everyone her age is out graduating college? She's only getting started. While everyone is out partying? She's out working. While everyone is out dating? She's out taking care of her family. After her father left them, she had no other choice than to become the second parent. Being responsible is the only thing she knows and her family comes before anyone else. Including herself. Until her best friend, Vanessa, suggests she focus on herself for once. To go out and party, meet a man, and fall in love. Except Madison is jaded. Another painful scar she has thanks to her father. Growing up surrounded by toxic relationships has her believing that there is no good man. That is, until one trip to New York has her coming face to face with Maxon Blake.

Or will he get tired and leave like everyone usually does? **** Maxon Blake is a 24-year-old hotshot Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots who has his own issues with women.

He had one rule: never get involved with his best friend's sister. But what happens when she becomes the one girl he can't ignore? Chloe Sullivan is invisible-and she likes it that way. As a straight-A student with a passion for science and a wardrobe full of oversized hoodies, she's comfortable living in the shadows of Ridgewood High. Especially when the spotlight belongs to people like her brother's best friend, Jaxon Reed. Jaxon is the ultimate bad boy: star athlete, devastatingly handsome, and notorious for his no-strings-attached approach to dating. He's also the boy Chloe has secretly loved since she understood what a heartbeat was. To him, she's just "Ryan's little sister"-the nerdy, quiet girl he barely notices when he comes over to hang out. Everything changes the summer before senior year. When Chloe decides to shed her invisibility cloak-braces off, glasses swapped for contacts, and a newfound confidence-she returns to school as someone nobody recognizes. Suddenly, she's catching the attention of guys who never knew she existed. Including Jaxon. For the first time, he sees her. And the look in his storm-grey eyes isn't brotherly. But Jaxon and Ryan have an unspoken rule: sisters are off-limits. Jaxon isn't the type to admit feelings-not to himself, and certainly not to anyone else. Instead, he wages a silent war: one minute protecting Chloe with a ferocity that surprises them both, the next retreating behind his playboy facade, flaunting other girls to remind himself (and her) of who he's supposed to be. Caught between loyalty and desire, Jaxon and Chloe navigate a dangerous game of stolen glances, charged moments, and breathless almosts. The tension is thick enough to cut, but so are the rules. Welcome to a slow-burn romance where every look is a secret, every touch is a betrayal, and the only thing more dangerous than falling for your brother's best friend... is him falling for you.

Love is a promise. But keeping it? That's where things get complicated. They thought college was wild-turns out, adulthood is a whole different game. Now in their late twenties, Rosalie, Reed, Evie, Corbin, and the rest of the Belmont Bay crew are back-juggling marriages, careers, friendships, and secrets they've tried to bury. The bonds that once made them unbreakable are now strained by distance, doubts, and decisions they never imagined they'd have to make. When a BBU beach reunion brings them all together for one long month, old feelings resurface, new betrayals unfold, and choices must be made.

Who knew getting screamed at could be so damn hot? Jason Myers sure as hell didn't. Not until she showed up. Jason Myers didn't ask to be the next Belmont Bay University legend. But when his bigs graduated, the crown naturally fell to him-Quarterback. Frat King. Campus Heartbreaker. And trust him-he wears it well. Until she shows up. Valeska Romanova is a mouthy Russian transfer student with too much attitude, too much confidence, and way too many opinions for Jason's liking. She calls him out, gets under his skin, and looks disgusted every time he flashes that cocky smirk. He should be annoyed. But instead... he's obsessed. Because somewhere between their explosive arguments, back-and-forth bickering, Jason realizes something dangerous: Aggression turns him on. Sass? Hot. Yelling? Hotter. Her stormy attitude and smartass comebacks? The hottest thing he's ever tasted. Now all he wants to do is chase the fire-and maybe start one with her.

Good thing he likes a little pain with his pleasure. And this time, he's not just falling-he wants to rush all over her.
