For a moment nobody spoke. Then Garrett stepped forward, without hesitation and without asking. He wrapped his arms around her while Dean joined a second later, various emotion written all over his face. And somehow that was all it took for the emotions she'd been holding back to come crashing down. A sob escaped her before another one slipped over her lips, her eyes beginning to get red. ______________________ For Averia, life had so far revolved solely around college assignments, her figure skating career, her best friends and a party here and there. At least, it hadn't revolved around two hockey players who had infiltraded into her life like silent storms. One with his charming smile and his perfect ability to listen to every word she spoke. One who made her feel seen. The other with his mischievous grin and his hands wandering all over her body. One who made her feel desired in a way no one had before.

He doesn't do girlfriends. Valerie Montgomery is exhausted. Exhausted of the cheating. The screaming matches. The humiliation. The revolving door relationship she can't seem to escape with Briar University football star Aaron Carter. So after one betrayal too many, Valerie decides she needs one thing: A distraction. Enter Garrett Graham. Briar U's hockey golden boy has rules when it comes to women, no attachments, no sleepovers, no feelings. With the pressure of being legendary hockey player Phill Graham's son crushing him from every angle, Garrett only has time for hockey and sex. Valerie should've been temporary. And Garrett should've been easy. But somewhere between late-night hookups, bruising chemistry, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to care about, lines begin to blur. Because the problem with pretending not to feel anything...is eventually, you do. And when toxic love comes back demanding another chance, Valerie is forced to decide what hurts more: Losing Aaron or risking Garrett.

MISS YOUNG An Off Campus × Crazy Rich Asians Watching Story Garrett Graham thought she wanted the perks. Dean Di Laurentis thought she wanted his future. Neither of them realised they were accusing the wrong girl. Vivienne had spent years building a life where she could simply be Viv-a college student at Briar University, Hannah Wells and Allie Hayes' best friend, and a girl who wanted to be loved for who she was, not what she had. Then two of the only men she'd ever loved shattered her heart with the very accusation she'd spent her entire life trying to outrun. Just days after her latest heartbreak, one unexpected phone call changes everything. "Come home, Vivienne." Escorted from campus by suited bodyguards and driven away in a waiting luxury convoy, Vivienne leaves behind the life she'd carefully built in America and returns to Singapore-where she is no longer just Viv. She is Miss Young. As the Briar gang watches Crazy Rich Asians, every scene uncovers another piece of the life Vivienne kept hidden... and Garrett and Dean are forced to confront one devastating truth: They fell in love with Viv. They broke the heart of Miss Young. ⸻ "Sometimes the greatest privilege isn't being born rich. It's being loved before anyone knows your name."

Still haunted by her past, Sophia refuses to let anyone get too close. No labels. No commitments. No serious relationship. What she and Beau have is supposed to be casual-a secret arrangement hidden from everyone around them, especially Dean. Just two people enjoying each other's company without strings attached. At least, that's the plan.
