Love, to Rory, is just another word for damage. She keeps her distance. She keeps her walls. She keeps her heart locked somewhere not even she can find it. Then she met him. He was loud, arrogant, the kind of guy she usually writes off in seconds. But he looked at her like she was the only person in the room who wasn't performing for him. And slowly, infuriatingly, he made her forget why she built the walls in the first place. A dirty little secret. That's what they are. Love. It's what broke her family. It's what she swore she'd never fall for. But in a strange way, could the very thing she fears be the only thing that breaks the cycle? Off Campus ⎯⎯⎯ *ೃ༄ Dean Di Laurentis & OC

Book 5: Everyone knew Beau Maxwell. The golden boy. The guy who could walk into any room and make everyone believe he had it all figured out. Jamie knew the truth. She knew the boy behind the perfect smile. The one who stayed up too late thinking about the future, who carried the weight of expectations on his shoulders, and who loved harder than anyone gave him credit for. Beau Maxwell was never supposed to be temporary. He was supposed to be the person Jamie grew old with. The person she called after every win, every bad day, every moment that mattered. They were supposed to have more time. More memories. More chances. But life doesn't always give you a goodbye. Sometimes, the person who means everything to you is gone before you're ready to let them go. Now Jamie has to learn how to live with the pieces of a love story that ended too soon. Holding onto the memories they made, the promises they shared, and the parts of Beau that will always stay with her. Because losing someone doesn't mean losing the love you had for them.

But somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen moments, and pretending to be something real, they start seeing the parts of each other no one else does. Because sometimes the person who knows you best is the one who never expected to fall for you. And sometimes the person everyone notices is the one who has been waiting to be truly seen.

Jade crosses her arms "You could say that." Spencer cut in "We went to Caltech together." "Oh, like classmates?" JJ said curiously Jade's eyes locked on Reid "More than that. We were... close." "Until we weren't." Reid said finally meeting her gaze. "I trust that won't be an issue?" Hotch said firmly, Jade's professional mask slipping back on "Not at all, sir."

She's the kind of person everyone on campus envies - the girl who always looks put together, no matter what. Which is exactly why no one notices what's really happening behind closed doors.

Dean Di Laurentis never expected to look twice at the girl who seemed to have everything, and Garrett Graham definitely never expected to become the person she called when things got bad. But the more time Delaney spends around the hockey house, the harder it becomes to hide the truth. Because perfection is easy to fake, until someone finally starts paying attention.
