Dallas hates his brother's best friend, Grayson Scott. He's annoying, rude and always makes fun of him for no reason. But everything changes when they share a drunken kiss... (BoyxBoy)

Noah Hayes is the kind of guy everyone notices-fun, confident, and the star quarterback of Riverview High. Everyone loves him, and everyone assumes they know him. But no one knows the truth that keeps him up at night: Noah likes boys, and he hates himself for it. He's built walls so high even he can't see over them. Julian Bennett is the opposite of Noah in every way. Quiet, shy, and sweet, he fades into the background without trying. But behind his timid demeanor lies a bold, unspoken confidence about who he is, even if no one else really notices. When Noah and Julian get paired together in class, neither expects anything beyond awkward study sessions and polite conversation. But sparks fly, and soon Julian becomes Noah's tutor-both in academics and in feelings Noah has tried to bury for years. One kiss turns into a secret relationship, and Noah finally allows himself to feel something real. For a while, everything seems perfect. Until the pressure catches up. Torn between the world he's built and the world he secretly craves, Noah makes a choice that shatters Julian's heart and leaves them both broken. When Julian shows up at one of Noah's games with his friends, Noah pretends not to care. But on the field, with the roar of the crowd and the ache of regret, Noah realizes he's at a crossroads. Will he keep running from himself, or will he risk everything to prove that what he and Julian had wasn't just a secret, but something real?

It could have been simple. Childhood friends - First Crushes - Football - Laughter - Cuteness - Love. Maybe even happily ever after. But it is not simple, and Noah doesn't know why.

He just feels frustrated that Ethan seems hell bent on keeping a solid wall between them. A wall that keeps cracking. And the question is, once it finally breaks, can they find their way back to the story they were meant to have? ___________ Completed 19 of February 2026

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.
