Known for having an extremely outgoing personality but also being a straight up heartbreaker. Everything is going well but that all changes when his younger sister, Carmen, joins. Carmen is the definition of beauty and brains but also completely innocent and clueless. She doesn't drink, never goes out and has been sheltered her whole life by her family's wealth; meaning Carmen has never gotten a taste of the real world by herself. What happens when she falls into the hands of the wrong person? Damian Galanis. Playboy, heartbreaker and also Maikel's best friend. He is the opposite of Maikel in every way. Yet despite the pair being entirely different to each other, they get along like two peas in the pod. Maikel and Damian support whatever one another decided to do however there was always one thing that was off limits for Damian. Maikel's little sister, Carmen. Damian had never seen Carmen before but as soon as he sets his sight on the wholesome girl, he can't stop thinking about her. Damian has always been handed everything in his life and has never been told the word "no", due to his prosperous parents giving him everything he has ever wanted and more on a silver platter. The problem is, he wants the one thing he can't have. Will things go smoothly between the pair, or will lust and temptation get the best of them? 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝟏𝟖+

Senior year was supposed to be simple. Friday nights under stadium lights. Loud crowds, glittering cheer uniforms, and the kind of memories people spend the rest of their lives chasing. For seventeen-year-old Harper, life looks perfect from the outside. She's the head cheer captain, dating the school's star quarterback, and spending every moment beside her best friend, Olivia - the one person who has always understood her better than anyone else. Together, they rule the sidelines, survive the drama of high school, and dream about the futures waiting for them after graduation. Harper has everything she's ever worked for: good grades, a spot in the sport she loves, loyal friends, and plans for college after senior year ends. But beneath the perfect image everyone sees, she can't shake the feeling that something in her life is missing - something she can't explain, no matter how hard she tries to ignore it.
