Leah Stokes is determined to get a spot in one of the most prestigious internships programs in the country. The problem is she's been applying each year, yet hasn't gotten far enough in the process to even garner an interview. It's her Junior year and time is running out if she wants to kickstart the career of her dreams. When she finds herself in the same class as the CEO's son- charming quarterback, Nate Holloway, she's determined to convince him to put in a good word for her. Nate has an even better idea, he'll guarantee her a spot, but only if she'll help him pass all his classes this semester. Nate's star doesn't shine as bright off the football field as it does on it, and he's found himself on the verge of academic suspension after a lackluster semester. He needs Leah's brain power as much as she needs his connections, even though he finds her to be a uptight know-it-all and she finds him to be a vapid egotist. As they spend time together, they realize there's more to each other than meets the eye, but with so much riding on their partnership, one bad judgement could ruin both of their for goals for good.

🌊 Amber leaned in, her lips grazing his. "Have you ever noticed how I always win?" "You said that earlier." "Mmhm." She rubbed his tip against her clit. "Because I take what I want." She started to sit on him-just the tip. Klayton's hands flew to her waist, trying to pull her down. But she froze. "Not yet," she whispered. "You don't deserve this whole thing yet." He growled low. "You playin' with me." She smirked, rolling her hips again, teasing his head with her folds. "You got too much dick to not get played with." ___________________________ After losing her mother to a long, painful battle with dementia, Amber Embers boards a cruise ship in search of peace, solitude, and a way to breathe again. The last thing she expects is a room mix-up-and a roommate. Klayton Flacco is quiet, and unexpectedly tender beneath his solid frame and steady gaze. Forced to share a small cabin, what begins as uncomfortable tension soon deepens into comfort, trust, and something far more intimate. She wanted peace. He offered presence. What bloomed between them wasn't meant to last- but some things live forever beneath these waves. Released: 05/02/2025
