Ashermaddox Stories

They were total opposites. So why did it feel so right? Maisie Baxter and Asher Maddox have been inseparable since middle school-proof that sometimes nerds and dirtbags make the best kind of best friends. She's the impulsive, tattooed, late-night troublemaker. He's the anxious, overachieving planner with a future mapped down to the hour. But college changes everything. New dorms, new people, new pressure-and a quiet fear that maybe they're growing in different directions. So when Asher offers to help Maisie stay on track in their first semester and she promises to help him loosen up for once in his life, it feels like the perfect plan. Same friendship. Just older. Just... wiser. Only, the more they rely on each other, the blurrier the lines get. And when a late-night almost-kiss throws everything off balance, they're forced to ask the question they've been avoiding for years: What if the safest place they've ever known-each other-is the one place they could really break?
