Hattie Langdon is in the second semester of her junior year in university. Three jobs, school work, and the occasional night out with her best friend Sav is all she has time for anymore. That is, until five guys walk in and turn her life upside down. Blonde twins who couldn't be more different...or look more alike, a tattooed Honduran god with a sweet side under his scary exterior, a lanky British gentleman with piercing blue eyes, and a scarred grumpy leader with a ridiculously sexy morning voice. Hattie is dead set on staying away from them; however, she is soon forced into their lives when she finds out their secrets. They are in the mafia. And her life might be in danger. So she's not going anywhere. Gambling, loan sharking, extortion, and hedge fund schemes, Hattie is learning everything. But in the end, she is going to have to figure out her place in it all. And she's going to have to figure out her heart. Fast. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Though this story is tagged as "reverse harem", please know it follows the definitions, guidelines, and expectations of the original reverse harem.

"If kiss you, will you reject me?" His voice was barely a whisper and it sent tingles down my spine. I could smell whiskey and mint on his breath. "I'd never reject you," A game between Brody Jackson And Ivy Jones. They hate each other, that's clear. They want to kill each other, that's also clear. But what's not clear is this gravitational pull they have towards each other that no matter how hard they try to resist it they can't control it. Whether it's throwing punches, insults or kisses, it sure has its benefits.

PUBLISHING OCTOBER 2025 * * * * * With senior year well underway, Cali's plan to get into Fenton University's elusive Masters of Nursing program is set into motion. The competition is stiff, but she has a sure-fire way to get her where she wants to go. That is, until Cali's success lies in the prized member of the boxing team-Lincoln Pierce. Now tasked with tutoring the brooding fighter to secure a letter of reference from her professor, Cali launches herself at the opportunity. But she soon realizes that Lincoln is a hell of a lot more than she bargained for. Lincoln Pierce has no idea what he's doing or where he's going. One thing is for sure-he wants nothing to do with tutoring and even less to do with Cali, especially when her determination soon threatens to expose secrets he's purposefully left in the dark. But with his grades slipping, there's more than just Lincoln's full-ride scholarship on the line. Lincoln must accept Cali's help or lose everything he's fought for. And as it turns out, she may end up getting more than a little extra credit. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Copyright of Luisa Dituri © All rights reserved.

It's all fake... or is it? Nothing good usually comes out when two people start a fake relationship. Everybody knows that... Well, maybe except for two arch enemies; Claire James and Julian Turner. It all started the moment they both found out that the people they were in a relationship with were sleeping together. Despite what they've been through together (all the pranks, the name calling and the food fight) they were out for revenge. What better way to do it that with the schools criminal bad boy and hot-shot rich bad girl together? ---- EDIT: DISCLAIMER Any similarities to a movie, book or other is purely coincidental. I've seen comments saying this story is kind of similar to The Duff but I never watched it while in the process of writing this story and have not seen it until now. Read at your own discretion. Thank you!

In a town where the high school football team rules the school, Amelia is just another face in the crowd. Sure, her dad is the football coach but Amelia's idea of "Friday night lights" revolves around studying until lights are out. Trying to impress her father who only knows football and her mother's high expectations, Amelia puts her head down and tries her best to satisfy them. After accidentally ending up at a party one night (without her mother's permission of course), Amelia finds herself thrown into the world of the infuriatingly gorgeous yet arrogant Zack Darrington. Zack was never part of a crowd. He's king of the city: the best running back in the state- if not the entire country. Flirtatious, cocky, and a skilled player in all senses, Amelia is not the type of girl he typically surrounds himself with. Everyone knows Zack Darrington. No one knows Amelia Hayes. Football is his world while she wishes it wasn't a part of hers. At first glance, these two couldn't be more different but deep down, they may be more similar than they think.
