OR Where their entire lives, Kennedy and Jack somehow can't seem to get on the same page at the same time but this summer seems to be setting the stage perfectly. *************** childhood friends to lovers mature language vague nhl season w/ a vague general timeline CONTENT WARNINGS: toxic relationships (only at the start really), general misbehavior (drinking, weed), implicit sexual content (no smut, nothing explicit), parent loss, grief

[sports romance / alpha] After a long night of work, the dread of being cornered by two drunks is the last thing Andie needs. But when a ruggedly handsome stranger steps in to help, she doesn't expect him to be the world's current MMA champion - nor for him to make his way into her heart. ***** Coming from a violent past, bartender Andie Fisher's primary goal is to rescue her brother from the clutches of their abusive father. However, her mission takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Tyler Macgegor, the reigning MMA champion. He has alpha written all over him and his job represents everything she hates: violence. The thing is he's also the definition of self-assurance and his body screams sex, power, and control-an enticing cocktail that Andie vehemently believes she can do without. No matter how charming Tyler proves to be or the magnetic pull drawing them closer, Andie is determined to resist. But as their paths continue to cross, the undeniable connection grows, making the prospect of walking away an increasingly daunting task. Tyler is more than meets the eyes, and everything Andie doesn't know she wants. Yet, he harbors secrets of his own, adding a layer of complexity to their connection. In this collision of worlds, can they confront their tumultuous pasts and build a future together, or will the shadows of their histories tear them apart?

Savannah Hayes is as cold as ice, but for him, she burns. * * * At least, that's what a lot of people think. The few that really know her understand that's just a smart, independent woman who's never going to let anyone, especially not a man, tell her what to do. Savannah is no stranger to proving people's negative opinions of her wrong though, in fact, she's had good practice at it since freshmen year of college. It all started with a misunderstanding, but before she reaches the end of her senior year, she's going to write the truth. That is, until one of her least favorite people gets in the way. Lawrence Morgan, or Lars as everyone affectionately calls him, is many things. But mainly he's a culinary genius and a machine in the skating rink, finally taking his place as the captain of CU's hockey team for his senior year. But hockey's always been a means to an end for him, never his goal. No, he's headed for Paris and one of the most prestigious cooking schools in the country, once he graduates college and fulfills the promise he made to his parents to complete a business degree that is. Oh, and completes his communications minor. But, in order to do that he'll have to work with someone he hates, and Lars prides himself that he doesn't hate many people. But what's that they say? Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer? Well, Savannah and Lars are about to be almost too close for comfort, and what's worse, they might actually enjoy it. part III - Savannah & Lawrence * * * Bad Intentions. Copyright © January 2023.

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.

Easton Moore is back...and I'm his fake girlfriend. After leaving for the professional surfing tour the morning after we slept together, my childhood best friend became the person I never wanted to see again. Now he strolls back into Sandy Cove when I'm at my lowest point. My house and the coffee shop I run is being taken away from me unless I can afford to buy it off my mother. And Easton offered to help me, so long as I come on tour with him and pose as his fake girlfriend. What could go wrong?

Everyone who works within the New York Warriors organization knows that star player August Fletcher refuses to talk to most people...and especially team reporters. All except Quinn Castle, that is. Quinn doesn't know why the broody football player has singled her out, but she knows she doesn't like it-not when being around him and his hot gazes makes her feel like she might accidentally do something that risks her career. So when August unexpectedly retires, Quinn can't help but feel relieved...until she finds herself with a new assignment: spend the summer in August's hometown on Evergreen Isle and write a flashy retirement piece on the Warrior's biggest star. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the team's secret agenda: convince August to return to New York. It would be easy enough...if it weren't her job on the line if she doesn't see it through. It would be easy enough...if it weren't for the heat in August Fletcher's eyes.
