Rosie has loved Wesley for years - quietly, carefully, and never enough to risk their friendship or losing him. Since college, he's been her constant: Late night talks, inside jokes, the one person who feels like home. When Wesley starts to fall in love with someone else, Rosie is forced to confront the truth she's hidden, and loving him means watching him choose another life. When Distance and restraint turn affection into longing and silence becomes heavier than honesty, Rosie has to decide if the bond she's protected for so worth the risk, or if some loves are just destined to remain unspoken.

Angelica Taylor is finally settling into her third year at UCLA-new routines, new independence, and, for once, a life not dictated by her three overprotective older brothers. But one unexpected moment shatters the calm she worked so hard to build. In a single heartbeat, Angelica is pulled into a storm she never saw coming-one filled with forbidden tension, buried history, and two men who could unravel her in completely different ways. The two people she's supposed to avoid become the two she can't stop thinking about-pulling her into a web of tension, old wounds, and dangerous chemistry she never meant to ignite. Secrets pile up. Feelings get messy. And the closer Angelica gets to the truth-about them, about herself-the closer she comes to destroying everything she's been trying to protect. Because if her brothers discover what she's tangled up in? Her world won't just crack-it'll explode. College was supposed to be simple. Predictable. Falling in love was supposed to safe. But truth be told? Some hearts were never meant to play it safe. 𝓟𝓾𝓫𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓦𝓮𝓭𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓭𝓪𝔂 !!

Penelope Woods - Age: 20 - Occupation: Electrician - Interests: Rugby It was little things at first, things I didn't even consider to be an issue. Questions here and there about what I was wearing, or how I wore my hair. We were members of the same rugby club. Best friends turned lovers, living in domesticated bliss, until cracks in our foundation presented themselves. Invites Jack didn't extend and when questioned, he just shrugged and said it was a work thing, that he thought I wouldn't be interested. He'd look sheepish, apologize and we'd move on. He'd whisper words in his sleep that I couldn't quite decipher but when he called out someone else's name during the throes of passion, I could no longer live in denial. So, I let Jack go. I've been raised to love and accept people as they are. I don't know how to be anyone but me. But sometimes even shallow cuts by the ones you love the most cause the deepest wounds and I need to learn to love myself again. Jack Monroe - Age: 24 - Occupation: Consultant for my family's Business - Interests: Rugby, Peneolpe and appeasing family :( I have known I've loved Penny from the very moment she launched herself into my arms after winning the grand final 3 years ago. Penelope is so kind, patient and fun. She is also loud, boisterous and very much the tomboy. When we're in the privacy of our shared home or our rugby world, those things don't matter. However, in my other world, with my well to do family and my role as a consultant for my family's business, unfortunately appearances do matter. Or, so I thought. Will Jack realise he truly loves Penny, warts and all, before it's too late? What does Penny think of the possibility of being with Jack again? "For me to even consider accepting love from Jack again, he'll have to be prepared to take me as I am."
