Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger a little too long. Her defenses are violently slipping. ​Then comes the night the mask shatters. When Theo stumbles home drunk, his eyes glassy and his defenses down, he confesses a truth that breaks every version of him Sophia thought she knew. ​Gone is the boy who teased her growing up. This Theo is raw, complex, and beautifully broken in places she never noticed before. ​Suddenly, Sophia wants things she never dared to dream of. His kisses. His hands on her skin. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck has become a dangerous line they can't stop crossing, forcing her to realize the most terrifying truth of all: ​What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

Alex Baker, a guarded photography student determined to keep her distance from athletes, has to play a dangerous game of casual passion with the campus's biggest hockey playboy in order to get him out of her system without falling for his charm. ------- Alex Baker is in a catastrophic dry spell, and frankly, she's over it. She knows exactly what she likes, but no guy on campus seems capable of delivering-until she crosses paths with Jaxon Cross. ​Jaxon is Northridge University's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has absolutely nothing to do with the ice. The rumors about his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, painting him as the ultimate, unforgettable sin. But behind the cocky smirk and the heavy praise is a guy secretly suffocating under the shallow image everyone forces on him. ​Alex detests him on principle. Jaxon is addicted to the fiery, sharp way she looks at him-like he's the worst mistake she could ever make. ​But when Jaxon overhears her brutally venting about her lackluster sex life, he offers her a deal that makes her blood run hot: a strict, no-strings-attached hookup pact. No emotions. No expectations. Just pure, unadulterated pleasure. ​Curiosity wins. But the second Jaxon touches her, the boundaries blur. ​Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body-he wrecks her mind. Between tangled sheets and breathless midnight confessions, he shows her a sweet, protective side no one else gets to see. Suddenly, the player who was only supposed to be a temporary fix is becoming an addiction she can't quit. ​Alex swore this was just a game. Jaxon is ready to change the rules. And now, she has to decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart on the one guy she promised herself she'd never love. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.
