SALOME LAM had pined after Orion Ip for as long as she could remember. It was a way of life, a habit ingrained into her routine that felt completely and utterly natural. He was the boy next door, two years older, someone who was always just out of reach. She could try all she wanted, but she could never fit into his life. She could never quite be anything in Orion's world. And because life is cruel (or perhaps it was kind, since she was at least always in close proximity to him), they met at place after place, school after school, city after city. University was meant to be different. A brand new start, finally forgetting the boy carved so deeply in her heart, who hadn't even a clue the extent of Salome's feelings for him. If it was pointless, why not end it now? Why waste more time playing this game that yielded no result? But they're at the same place again. St Lucia's College at Oxford, where Salome can't escape him or the way he makes her heart pound. Except this time was different. As if he was actually noticing her. As if she wasn't just the little girl who lived next door, not quite a nuisance but also beneath his notice. Now they're talking and spending time together and he's initiating those interactions too. Salome had promised herself she'd forget, but how could she when it felt like this time, she truly had a chance? Perhaps, there was still time for one last try. Before Salome truly, for once and for all, decided to cut Orion Ip and those years between them out of her life. (bobas & lattes #2) readable as standalone

Kiernan and Montana aren't looking for complicated in their Chicago summer, but somehow complicated has found them. [co-written with @w1ldflow3r] [extended summary inside]

Devin McKenna doesn't date golfers - end of story - but she will definitely be best friends with one. After two years of friendship (and one long year of mysterious silence) with Tate Thacker, collegiate and future-pro golf phenom, he's back for their senior year of college. Tate is the same as always; winning left and right, sticking to his insane schedule, and never being in a serious relationship. A lot had changed for Devin in that one year though. She had her heart broken by a football player, but seeing him so jealous when Tate walks back into her life makes Devin a little too happy. Fake dating might not be a thing in real life, but people used to mistakenly think that Devin and Tate were together all the time - so why can't they just not dispel the rumor for once?

A SECOND CHANCE MAY BE TOO HOT TO HANDLE They say there are no second chances, and for Lily Onassis, ever since she walked away from Formula World driver Max Becker, she's considered this true. Instead of a glitzy, glamorous life on the auto racing circuit, she's worked at a tech company, trying to live a quiet life and forget about her feelings for the gorgeous Max. Until she's fired from her job, and her father - a popular racing team owner - has a heart attack. Before her father goes into surgery, he has one request for Lily: temporarily take over his racing team. It shouldn't be a problem since she has management experience, except that Max is now a Team Onassis driver. And Lily is his new boss. The two must fight their burning attraction to each other at every turn while the paparazzi lurk behind every corner - and confront the fact that their love might be bigger than their stupid decisions of the past.

Rya McCoy had it all.... except a good sex life. College was supposed to be the most exciting time of your life, but for Rya, she deemed it as the most important. The stress of her degree and being the best took over her world until she found herself in another. She didn't mean to waltz into a BDSM club, just as much as she didn't mean to get the ride of her life from her long-time arch nemesis, Christopher Knowles, but she did. And she couldn't help but crave for more. Two enemies. One deal. But a single promise: no one falls in love. _____ B O O K 2 O F T H E P L E A S E M E S E R I E S : 1 - Teach Me to Please 2 - Promise Me to Please _____ W A R N I N G T H I S S T O R Y C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ sexual/mature content ❤︎ explicit language ❤︎ alcohol consumption ❤︎ mild violence ❤︎ BDSM _____ H I G H E S T R A N K I N G S : 1 #enemies 1 #oppositesattract 2 #enemieswithbenefits 2 #goldengirl 2 #secretadmirer 3 #goldenboy _____ S T A R T E D - 14/04/2022 C O M P L E T E D - ? ? ?

C O M P L E T E D : 24/02/22 Sienna Callum was popular - scratch that - she was the queen of high school. She had tons of gorgeous friends wishing to be her, smoking hot flings, and an unbelievably trendy fashion sense. But, she needed one more thing. Decent grades to graduate. Roman Lawrence was a nerd - scratch that - THE nerd of high school. Yet, his exceptional intelligence made him stand out among those seeking to learn. He had one problem though, the girl he'd been crushing on since kindergarten didn't like him back. One of the reasons? His lack of experience.... sexually. This isn't boy meets girl. This is mouse meets vixen. This is what happens when these two opposites strike a deal and things get hot.
