Although she wouldn't like to admit it, Isabel Allen can be selfish, argumentative, and more than a little insecure. When she and the moody, tattooed and positively infuriating Harry Styles are forced to work together at a bowling alley three days a week, Isabel thinks she's living in her own personal hell. But time changes more than just the seasons, and one year is a long time to work out not only each other, but yourself, too. A story about messy hair, heavy drinking, marathons, film trivia and being okay. [ the story is not mine! all credit goes to oxygenstyles. ]

Calum Hood and Sloane Thorne were set to take over their families' merging companies--except, the businesses weren't the only ones merging. As part of a deal, their families have arranged for the two to get married, providing a united front in the consolidation of their companies. But they weren't in love, and the only thing this forced marriage was doing was straining their friendship. So before the wedding bells rang, the two run off to a beach house in Florida with their friends to enjoy the little freedom they had left. Under the bright sun and cool ocean, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Except Calum hadn't expected to fall for their neighbor, River Young, and Sloane hadn't counted on suppressed feelings for her friend, Luke, to emerge--nor did she expect him to return them. Calum and Sloane had their freedom in Florida. But what would happen when vacation time was over? Pursuing relationships that had an inevitable expiration date wasn't as freeing as they'd counted on.

Josie Hemmings didn't have the best track record for relationships. Calum Hood wasn't one for relationships, period. But one night spent together without the knowledge of their friends--including Josie's older brother and Calum's best friend, Luke--is a secret they kept between them. One never to be talked about again. Until Josie moves into Luke's house in Los Angeles and suddenly, she and Calum are around each other every day. Pretending their night together didn't happen is one night. Ignoring feelings that were developing a lot quicker than either of them could keep track of was another. On top of it all, keeping it all a secret from Luke was only going to end one way. ---- all rights reserved.
