Marnie Ryde was used to being misunderstood. As a cheerleader and Winnie Ryde's younger sister, people saw her as shallow, self-absorbed, and popular - even though she had never been any of those things. When Winnie's injury forced her out of the captain position, Marnie unwillingly took her place, carrying a title she never truly wanted. Beau Maxwell, Briar's star quarterback, had never paid much attention to cheerleaders before. Until the night at Malone's when he watched Marnie throw a drink in a grown man's face to protect a terrified girl, then walk out like it was nothing. That was the moment she caught his attention.

After a toxic relationship leaves Scarlett Graham's life at St. Anthony's in ruins, she transfers mid-semester to Briar University, hoping distance will help her forget everything she left behind. But with her dorm situation delayed, she ends up temporarily living in the one place guaranteed to destroy her sanity: the Briar hockey house. Which means living with her overprotective older brother, Garrett Graham, and his teammates. Including Dean Di Laurentis. Dean is exactly the kind of guy Scarlett promised herself she would stay away from. Cocky, charming, reckless, and completely incapable of taking anything seriously for more than five minutes. Garrett makes the rules very clear the second she moves in. Hands off his sister. And Dean fully intends to follow that rule. At least until he accidentally walks into Garrett's room and finds Scarlett changing. After that, staying away from her becomes a whole lot harder than he expected. Especially when Scarlett starts slipping past his defenses just as fast as he's slipping past hers. Now Dean can't stop noticing the little things. The way she hides inside oversized sweatshirts. The way she apologizes for everything. The way her smiles never quite reach her eyes anymore. And Scarlett can't stop noticing that beneath Dean's player reputation is someone far more dangerous than she expected: a man who makes her feel safe enough to let her guard down. But secrets have a way of following you. And when Scarlett's past finally catches up with her, Dean has to decide how far he's willing to go for the girl he was never supposed to touch in the first place. Dean Di Laurentis x Scarlett Graham Brother's Best Friend Forced Proximity Hockey Romance Dual POV

Dean Di Laurentis knows that Isabella Davenport is off-limits. Not only is she the sister of the guy he can't stand, but she's also the distraction he can't afford. Yet, between "accidental" brushes and looks that say too much, his contempt is starting to feel dangerously like desire. In Dean's game, Isabella is the only rule he is desperate to break.

Dean Di Laurentis gets every girl he wants. Olivia Williams is the first one who refuses to be part of the game. At Briar University, hockey is religion, parties are currency, and everyone knows everyone's secrets. Dean lives for chaos. Olivia practically invented it. But somewhere between late-night fights, stolen glances across crowded parties, and a rivalry neither of them can walk away from, keeping score starts to feel a lot like losing control.

Dean Di Laurentis doesn't do complicated. Ivy Bennett doesn't let people stay long enough to become important. So when one reckless kiss turns into a friends-with-benefits arrangement, it comes with rules: no feelings, no jealousy, and absolutely no expectations. Simple. At least, it should've been. Because somewhere between late-night drives, hockey games, stolen hoodies, and quiet moments that feel a little too real, Dean and Ivy start blurring every line they swore they wouldn't cross. And the more they pretend it means nothing, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: some mistakes are impossible not to make. --------- !NOT EDITED!
