Abby Ryan has her whole life planned out, up until graduation that is. As a journalism student at the University of Southern Washington, she has one goal in mind for her last semester of senior year: secure a scholarship for graduate school. But when a scholarship opportunity arises that requires her to write a feature article on USW's star basketball player and notorious playboy, Tristan Beck, lines start to blur, and Abby soon realizes that staying focused can be hard when you're trying not to fall in love. Tristan Beck has been focused on one thing since he started at USW on a full-ride scholarship: put up the numbers and bust his ass to get drafted into the NBA. With only a semester standing between him and the draft, this is his last chance to impress the scouts. When Abby Ryan, a witty and magnetic journalism student, asks to interview him for an article, he knows the publicity will be good for his career, but when they start spending time together and he realizes that he might want her as more than his typical hook-up- only fashion, he has to remind himself why he refuses to date, and where his priorities need to lie.

When Aria Monroe lands her dream job as the new photographer for Los Angeles's professional hockey team, the last thing she expects is to work with the cocky, arrogant center Connor Holden who rocked her world five years ago during a one-night stand. She left him without a name, and now that Connor's mystery woman has finally reappeared, he'll do anything to make her his. Even if it means dealing with a complicated past he's unprepared for and keeping secrets from those he looks up to. Because if there's one thing Connor Holden is known for? It's winning, and he doesn't plan on stopping now.

Everett Holden had sworn to live the rest of his life a single man, but his plans are disrupted when he finds himself sharing an apartment with his best friend's ex--the one woman he detests with every fiber of his being yet simultaneously desires. Standalone in the My Brother's Best Friend. *** Twenty-two-year-old Everett Holden has always had his life figured out. Being the product of wealthy parents, he knows loneliness better than most. He's grown accustomed to being the broody, miserable man desperate for love with impenetrable walls. However, when his best friend requests a favor, he finds himself sharing an apartment with the one girl he both loathes and desires above all else, the one girl he can't have. Emery Clark isn't one to give up. She's persevered through every obstacle life has thrown her and refuses to accept defeat. That is, until, she's given an eviction notice from her apartment and is forced to live with none other than Everett Holden, her ex's crotchety, grumpy best friend with an attitude licensed to kill. As she spends more time in his company, she gradually comes to a realization. Perhaps his rude behavior towards her isn't due to her allegedly taking away his closest friend, but rather because his closest friend snatched her away from him. *** Weekly Updates on Fridays.

Devin McKenna doesn't date golfers - end of story - but she will definitely be best friends with one. After two years of friendship (and one long year of mysterious silence) with Tate Thacker, collegiate and future-pro golf phenom, he's back for their senior year of college. Tate is the same as always; winning left and right, sticking to his insane schedule, and never being in a serious relationship. A lot had changed for Devin in that one year though. She had her heart broken by a football player, but seeing him so jealous when Tate walks back into her life makes Devin a little too happy. Fake dating might not be a thing in real life, but people used to mistakenly think that Devin and Tate were together all the time - so why can't they just not dispel the rumor for once?

Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to get through her college swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored....
