"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper. She's smart, focused on school, the paper, and her TA responsibilities. Junior year should be starting off easy for Dane Sawyer. He's the star pitcher of the baseball team; attractive, athletic, desirable, with a hot girlfriend. Unfortunately, he's also failing computer science which is the one thing he sees that is in the way of his pro career. Different in more ways that one, when the two run into each other in the library, it's an immediate disaster. But when Dane convinces Mackenzie to be his tutor, both of their lives begin to change.

❝our eyes met, and our souls caught on fire.❞ ═════════════════════ Carla Marshall was a storm that could not be contained, her thunder rumbling and her lightning flashing, but her beauty could only be seen when the rain began to fall. The raindrops were her tears, the storm was her sorrow, but when she opened herself up to the world, she revealed a rainbow of hope and light. She was a rare thing, a force of nature, a tempest of emotion, and those who saw her for who she truly was knew that she was more than a storm cloud. She was the sun after the rain, the promise of a new beginning. She's always had to fight to survive, whether it's against the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father or the challenges of everyday life. But now that she's a freshman at CSUN, she's determined to forge a new path for herself. She wants to make friends and build a future for herself, but trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes.

His devilish looks and charming smile had many a girl swooning, but there was one girl who refused to fall under his spell. A girl with a quick temper and even quicker fists. When his friend was on the receiving end of her punch, Valen's interest was piqued. He knew there was more to her than met the eye, and he was determined to find out what it was.
