Between football games, late-night drives, crowded frat parties, and photographs frozen in time, Lena Hart finds herself caught between friendship and something far more dangerous: being understood. After all, she was only meant to be behind the camera, capturing everyone else's story - not becoming part of one herself. A Beau Maxwell story Off the Record is a slow-burn college romance about a girl learning how to live again after grief, and the people who accidentally pull her back into the world. #2 in "Beau" -2026-07-10

"If anything were to happen to you..." She held his face softly, looking into his eyes. "I'm never leaving." He told her, reassuring her. beaumaxwell x fem!oc started: 16.05.26 published: 18.05.26 finished: ongoing 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 🎗️ #1 suddendeath 20.05.26 #1 caraccident 22.05.26

Luna Reyes didn't plan on moving into a hockey house. She also didn't plan on becoming the only girl living with six loud, chaotic, slightly feral athletes who treat every day like it's optional to behave like normal human beings. There are stolen snacks, broken routines, endless noise, and at least one ongoing argument about whether cereal counts as dinner. Somehow, she's surviving it. Mostly. Because between practices, classes and learning how to exist in a house where nothing is ever quiet, Luna is also learning how to hold her own on the ice and she's starting to prove she belongs there more than anyone expected. But then there's Beau Maxwell. Not a teammate. Not part of the house. Just... there. A football player who shows up too often, leans against doorframes like he owns them and looks at her like she's the only thing in the room worth paying attention to. He teases her like it's second nature; annoys her like it's a hobby and somehow makes her laugh when she's trying not to. He's a distraction. A very persistent one. And in a house full of chaos, late-night noise and too many people who know her name already, Luna is starting to realize something inconvenient: The hardest part of living at Briar isn't the hockey players. It's the boy who keeps showing up like he was always meant to be there.

Real Eyes Realize: Book 1 ❤ Ilaria Johnson is Briar U's golden girl, captain of the women's soccer team, straight-A student, and the kind of person everyone depends on. But behind her bright smile is a past she's fought hard to survive. Beau Maxwell is reckless, charming, and the last person she should want. As Briar's star quarterback and captain, he hides everything real behind sarcasm and bad decisions-until Ilaria starts seeing through the act. What begins as teasing and tension quickly turns into something deeper. Because Beau makes Ilaria feel less alone. And Ilaria makes Beau want to be better. But when old wounds resurface, they'll have to decide if love can survive the weight of everything they've been trying to outrun.

Beau Maxwell is exactly the kind of guy Mia Reyes should stay away from. Too confident. Too charming. And far too used to people falling in love with him. Mia has bigger problems than Briar's popular player. She's trying to focus on college, painting, and a life that's slowly starting to slip out of her control - especially now that her ex-boyfriend refuses to understand the meaning of the word "over." The messages keep coming. The phone calls too. And the fear that was supposed to disappear after the breakup is starting to creep back in. At first, Beau seems like just another chaotic part of campus life - an irritating flirt who always stands a little too close and says things that make it impossible for Mia not to smile. The problem is that Beau Maxwell notices everything. Even the things Mia desperately tries to hide. And the harder she tries to keep her distance, the more Beau starts acting like her safety has suddenly become the most important thing in his life.

Dean blinked, not quite understanding. "Sick how?" Rosie pressed a hand to her chest. Pain flared beneath her palm. Sharp now. Wrong. "I'm sick," she repeated. Dean stepped forward immediately. "Okay. I'll take you home. You'll feel better tomorrow." The gentleness in his voice broke her. "No, Dean." Her knees weakened. Beau caught her elbow. "Rosie." She looked at them both through tears. For weeks, she had imagined telling them. Not like this. Never like this. Not in a bar with music pounding and her heart beating irregularly in her chest. UNDER EDITING!

She came from a place built on speed. He was the football star with a smile that could ruin her completely. © All the original Off Campus characters belong to Elle Kennedy.

Dean Di Laurentis has two major rules in life: win at all costs, and keep his Briar Hockey teammates far away from his little sister, Jade. But Beau Maxwell has been secretly breaking the rules for years.
