Clementine "Cleo" Sanders has perfected the art of looking like she's okay. As one of Briar University's brightest journalism majors, a talented volleyball player, gifted dancer, and the girl everyone swears has her life together, Cleo is always moving. Always smiling. Always busy. Because staying busy means she doesn't have to think about the one decision that changed everything. Back in high school, she thought she'd found forever with fellow hockey player Jason Wheeler. Then two pink lines shattered that illusion. The moment Cleo told him she was pregnant, Jason walked away without looking back. Left to face impossible choices alone, Cleo underwent an abortion she wasn't ready to carry-but wasn't ready to regret either. The heartbreak didn't end there. It followed her to college, teaching her that love always comes with conditions and that trusting someone enough to give them your whole heart can cost you everything. Now, she's determined that no one-especially another hockey player-will ever have that kind of power over her again. Then she meets John Logan. He's charming, relentless, frustratingly kind, and everything Jason never was. Logan isn't asking Cleo to forget her past. He's simply asking for the chance to earn a future with her-one patient conversation, one laugh, and one slow dance at a time. But Cleo's carefully controlled world is thrown into chaos when a DNA revelation exposes a family secret she never saw coming: she's related to Hunter Davenport, one of her closest friend's biggest enemies. Suddenly, she's questioning where she belongs, who she can trust, and whether blood is thicker than the family she's chosen. As old wounds reopen and buried truths refuse to stay hidden, Cleo must decide if she'll keep living according to everyone else's expectations-or finally choose her own path. Sometimes healing isn't about becoming someone prettier, stronger, or easier to love. Sometimes it's about realizing you've always been enough.

Selene Wells & John Logan Selene Wells had mastered the art of disappearing. Quiet. Guarded. Always hiding behind the shadow of her sister, Hannah, and the secrets she'd sworn she'd never tell anyone. Then there was John Logan. Briar's golden boy. Hockey player. Professional flirt. The last person Selene would ever choose to let into her carefully controlled world. But Logan wasn't used to girls who ignored him. And Selene wasn't used to someone who refused to give up. What starts as an unexpected friendship quickly becomes something neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes the person you were determined to avoid... is the person who finds you when you're finally ready to be seen.

Book 1: Delaney Von has always been the perfect girl. Perfect grades, perfect smile, perfect relationship. She's the kind of person everyone on campus envies - the girl who always looks put together, no matter what. Which is exactly why no one notices what's really happening behind closed doors. Not the way she pulls her sleeves over bruises. Not the way she apologizes for things that aren't her fault. Not the way she's slowly disappearing inside a relationship that's breaking her apart. Dean Di Laurentis never expected to look twice at the girl who seemed to have everything, and Garrett Graham definitely never expected to become the person she called when things got bad. But the more time Delaney spends around the hockey house, the harder it becomes to hide the truth. Because perfection is easy to fake, until someone finally starts paying attention.

No one knows the reality of growing up under a father who controlled everything, especially who she was allowed to be. College was supposed to be her fresh start. Then she met Ali Hayes. Ali is fearless in all the ways Caroline wishes she could be. She makes Caroline laugh when she wants to cry, stay when she wants to run, and dream about a future she never thought she could have. But falling for Ali means risking the one thing Caroline has fought so hard to protect: herself. As old fears resurface and the past refuses to stay buried, Caroline must decide whether hiding is worth losing the person she loves. Because some secrets keep you safe. And some secrets keep you from living.

Blythe is tired of being the girl people forget about, and Logan is tired of chasing the wrong person. Somewhere between failed plans, late-night adventures, and undeniable chemistry, they start to realize they've been looking in the wrong direction the entire time. Maybe the person they've been searching for has been standing right in front of them all along. All they have to do is notice.
