Freya and Malachi used to be inseparable. They were best friends for over nine years, growing up side by side through primary school and everything after. But somewhere along the way, things fell apart badly, and now, in Year 11, they act like strangers. Malachi became popular without even trying. Girls are always around him, but he is not the player everyone assumes he is losing her hit him harder than anyone thinks too. Freya, on the other hand, changed completely after losing him. She became quiet, anxious, and withdrawn, carrying more pain than anyone realised. Her dad, her only living parent, died. And Malachi had no idea.

Every summer, Malachi Barton comes home. And every summer, Freya finds herself falling for him all over again. They've been inseparable since birth - the trio of Freya, Malachi, and Kamri growing up between dance studios, film sets, and living room sleepovers. But now they're seventeen, almost grown, and everything feels different. Malachi's career is exploding. Freya's first movie just changed her life. And months apart have turned their easy friendship into something neither of them knows how to name. When Malachi returns home for the summer - taller, busier, and somehow even more impossible to ignore - Freya isn't prepared for how much she missed him. Or how much he's changed. Or how much she's changed. But they're not alone this time. There's Trey, the protective friend who watched over the girls while Malachi was gone. Rhett, his cousin, who's made it very clear he wants Freya - even if she doesn't want him back. MK, Julian, and Joshua, the Z4 boys who treat Freya like their little sister. And the Camp Rock cast - Orlando, Ava, and Liamani - who instantly click with Freya and Kamri and see the tension Malachi refuses to admit. Between late‑night talks, jealous glances, chaotic group hangouts, and the kind of moments that change everything... Freya and Malachi are forced to face the truth: No matter how far he goes, no matter how long he's gone, summer always brings him back to her. And this summer? It might bring them back to each other.

Freya Skye finally found someone who turns her on. She may be smart, and has the looks, but she has some.... problems when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to capture his attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him see her.... even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date. Malachi Barton had one plan, graduate and go to the NHL, but with his GPA plummeting fast, everything he has ever worked for is threatened.... If helping a sarcastic blonde make another guy jealous in exchange for good grades, he's all for it. Be prepared to laugh, cry and all of the above. They clash at first, but grow to become friends, the lines start to blur to something more... Something real.

Freya Skye enters Zombies 4 with a new boyfriend - Maxwell Turner, the blond British "golden boy" everyone adores. But behind the scenes, he's jealous, cold, and slowly tearing her down while she keeps building him up. Their breakup becomes the spark for every song she writes. After a time skip, the cast launches into a world tour... and everything gets messy. Sadly, our dear Kylie Cantrall is no good in this book. She dates Malachi Barton, but her jealousy over Freya - her talent, her glow, her connection with Malachi - pushes her into full petty mode. Freya tries to move on, Malachi tries to hide his feelings, Kylie spirals, and Maxwell returns at the worst possible moment. Backstage drama, heartbreak songs, jealousy, and a slow‑burn Fralachi spark that refuses to die.

✶ malachi & freya ✶ Two signatures. One merger. Zero choice. In the glass-walled towers of the elite, love isn't a feeling-it's a negotiation. For Freya Skye and Malachi Barton, their futures were written in ink before they even knew how to hold a pen. Their parents-the ruthless architects Sarah, Mike, Felicia, and Loren-didn't just build empires; they built a cage, and they called it a Marriage Contract. But how do you play a game when the rules keep shifting? Freya is a firestorm looking for a match; Malachi is the ice that refuses to melt. They are two parallel lines finally forced to intersect, surrounded by a circle of friends who are just as tangled. Between Mckenna's loyalty, Mason's secrets, and Walker's wandering eyes, the line between corporate strategy and genuine heartbeat has never been thinner. It's a world of high-fashion masks and low-whispered threats. It's the feeling of falling when you aren't sure if someone will catch you or simply buy the ground you're about to hit. In a life where everything is scheduled, the only thing they didn't account for was the chaos of the "In-Between." They told them to expect the legacy. They told them to expect the crown. But they forgot to tell them the most important part... Expect the Unexpected.

She's going off to college, majoring in dance. But she's doing a dual degree. Dance and Sports Journalism/ photography. He is the well known football player. Majoring in kinesiology. He is known for getting around. She sees him on the field. Instantly knows he's trouble but is interested in him. He sees her walking to her class one day. He is also interested in her, just not the way people think. It's like he actually sees her. How they meet? How she sees him. After orientation, it's dark. She wonders around trying to find the dance room. She finds it, but he's in there with a girl. She walks away before they see her. But he saw her. Couple days later at a party he stops her and asks if she saw him and that girl. They keep running into each other. On the field, classes, hallways, parties.

Freya Skye believes in love stories-just not her own. Stuck in a relationship that doesn't feel right and escaping into romance books that feel more real than her life, she never expected her biggest problem to be Malachi Barton. He can't stand her. She can't stand him. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But between constant arguments, growing tension, and a boyfriend who might not be what he seems, Freya starts to realize something she never wanted to admit... Sometimes the line between hate and love is dangerously thin. And Malachi Barton might just be the plot twist she never saw coming.

Every summer, Freya Skye spends two months at the Barton family beach house with her best friend and their chaotic family traditions. It's always been simple: late-night bonfires, movie marathons, beach nights, and trying not to argue with her best friend's older brother, Malachi Barton. But this summer feels different. Malachi is back home after months away filming, and suddenly the teasing between them feels more intense, the lingering looks harder to ignore, and the house that once felt safe now feels dangerously small. Freya tries convincing herself the butterflies mean nothing because falling for your best friend's brother is the one thing you're not supposed to do. Between jealous moments, midnight conversations on the dock, summer storms, and feelings neither of them know how to handle, Freya realizes this summer could change everything - including the friendship she's terrified to lose.

Freya mastered the art of pretending. Pretending home didn't hurt. Pretending she was okay. Pretending the weight in her chest didn't follow her everywhere. But when Malachi starts noticing the things she tries hardest to hide, Freya begins to wonder what it feels like to finally be seen.
