Dean Dil Laurentis couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful ballerina. And she could never accept love outside of dance Dean Di Laurentis Season one / off campus

Freya Hayes has always lived in the quiet spaces. The girl with the jet black curls, the silver nose ring, the tarot tattoo on her arm, and the wyvern on her thigh. The girl who studies psychology and law because she wants to understand people without letting them understand her. She does not date. She does not trust easily. She does not touch chaos. Beau Maxwell is chaos. A hockey boy with a heart too big for his own good. Loud, warm, affectionate, and always in trouble. The kind of boy who makes everyone feel seen. The kind of boy Freya avoids on instinct. Until the day she walks into Allie's apartment and Beau drops his granola bar because he cannot stop staring at her. Allie warns Freya to stay away. Allie warns Beau even harder. Neither of them listen. Forced tutoring sessions turn into late night conversations. Late night conversations turn into almost touches. Almost touches turn into secrets they cannot hide. He falls first. She falls harder. And when the truth comes out, it threatens everything. A forbidden slow burn filled with tension, softness, jealousy, found family, and the kind of love that changes everything.

Lacey Logan has never been the quiet type. She's bold, flirty, and more than ready to start over when she transfers to Briar University to study fashion. She figures her biggest challenges will be classes, late nights, and maybe too many drunk mistakes. Then she meets Dean Di Laurentis: a cocky smile, ridiculous charm, and a way of getting under her skin from day one. One harmless deal between them turns into something a lot less harmless: they'll be friends... with a few benefits on the side, no feelings attached. Easy. Except it isn't. Not when Dean makes her laugh, pushes her buttons, and looks at her like he's trying to memorize every piece of her. And definitely not when she remembers he also happens to be one of her brother Logan's best friends. Lacey came to Briar for a fresh start, but she never expected someone like Dean to change everything she thought she wanted.

But when old wounds resurface, they'll have to decide if love can survive the weight of everything they've been trying to outrun.
