Delaney James was wearing Chanel the night her husband told her he didn't love her anymore. In an instant, her picture-perfect Manhattan life-complete with a brownstone on the Upper East Side, a blossoming career as a fashion journalist, and a devastatingly handsome, high-powered husband-shattered like glass under a stiletto heel. Heartbroken and blindsided, she does the only thing that makes sense: packs her bags and heads south to the small North Carolina town she swore she'd never return to. It's just temporary, she tells herself-a quiet place to lick her wounds and plan her next move. But South Grove hasn't forgotten her. The porch swings, the sleepy afternoons, the scent of honeysuckle on the breeze-it all comes rushing back. She reconnects with old friends, finds solace in morning coffee runs and barefoot walks along the beach where she once dreamed of escaping. And then there's Greyson McKinnie. The boy who broke her heart is now a man who carries his own scars. Their reunion is anything but smooth. Tense, electric, and full of history, their connection flares to life the moment they cross paths again. And this time, walking away might not be so easy. Now, torn between the career she built and the love she thought she'd lost, Delaney must choose: is the life she always wanted worth the price of the one her heart is just beginning to remember?

A Good Girl's Guide To Being Naughty • • • Ivy Collins is a normal 21 y/o woman. Except for the fact she's a virgin ... or at least she was until she had sex with her university rivals hockey captain. After a quick (devastatingly quick) night with the man and being called a lousy lay, Ivy made a promise to herself that she wouldn't do it again ... sex that is. Who needs sex when all it brought was insecurities and more, and it wasn't even that good to begin with.

He'll teach her everything she wants to know, and show her that sex can be fun, you just have to know how to do it right. And Ivy should refuse, after all he's the Ice Hockey captain, her brother's best friend and her best friend's brother - but what's the fun in that. Ivy knows she should say no, but she won't. And she won't fall in love, she can't. ••• Completed • First Draft - Edited. Watty2025 winner #1 in #Romance #1 in #Brotherbestfriend #2 in #bestfriendsbrother #2 in #icehockey

"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.
