Jamie Carter is top of her class-brilliant, focused, and completely uninterested in distractions. Alex Grant is the school's golden boy-charming, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore. They've been rivals since day one, always clashing in the classroom, on the debate team, and anywhere their egos collided. But when they're forced to work together on the most important project of the year, sparks fly-and not just the angry kind. What begins as cold competition slowly turns into stolen glances, late-night arguments that get a little too personal, and a chemistry neither of them expected. But pride is a dangerous thing... And falling for your enemy? Even more dangerous. Will they tear each other apart-or fall together, heart first?

Home is where the heartache is... For Stormy Daigle, that's the way it's always been, and when she bolted from the Podunk town of Aubry, Maine ten years ago, she vowed to never come back. So when circumstances force her to return, she has only two goals in mind: (1) assist the ailing-yet-cantankerous old buzzard that is her father, and (2) get the hell out of dodge, ASAP! But an unlikely friendship with one man and the possibility of renewed love with another has Stormy seeing things in an entirely different light, and she begins to realize that the biggest problem of all may be her own small-mindedness! But just when she starts to believe in new dreams and second chances, a secret from her past emerges that threatens to destroy everything. Brian Lozier never liked Stormy Daigle and her snooty, better-than-all-of-this attitude, so when it turns out to be her very fine ass that he rescues from a car wreck one summer night, he's less than thrilled with his fate. Still, her father is a friend, and Brian's mother raised him right, so he has no choice but to help her out. Besides, she's easily riled, and it's kind of fun watching her get all worked up and flustered, until she's got him feeling that way... about her! But a promise he made years ago has Brian torn between his heart and his integrity; and interference from Stormy's scheming ex-boyfriend once again pits Brian against his archrival over the affections of a woman. But this time, Brian is determined to come out on top.

Not every love story begins with love at first sight. Sometimes, it begins with a quiet crush, one that never saw the light of day. She once loved in silence. A shy schoolgirl who never confessed, she kept her feelings hidden in the pages of her diary. To her family and friends, she was laughter, sunshine, and dreams... but only she knew of the boy who lived in her heart. He was calm, composed, and distant. A studious soul who never paid attention to the giggles in the hallway, the stolen glances, or the silent admiration of the girls around him. To him, the world was about discipline, duty, and ambition - not fleeting emotions. Years passed. Life moved forward. She built her dreams, he chased his ambitions. But destiny has a way of weaving the forgotten back into the present. When families bring them face-to-face again, will it simply be another arranged match... Or the chance for her hidden feelings to finally be seen? "She once loved him in silence. He never noticed her at all. Destiny is about to change everything."

He was chaos in leather and ink, a stage set on fire, a body worshipped like sin. Years ago, she loved him before the world did. Before the lights. Before the ruin. Now he's back- older, harder, hungry in ways the music can't sate. And when their eyes lock across the noise, it isn't the past that burns between them. It's the promise of something darker. Something reckless. Something that could consume them both. In the shadows of backstage corridors and under the thunder of a thousand voices, desire becomes a language they both remember- feral, aching, unfinished. And this time, he doesn't plan on letting her walk away.

When a paperwork screw-up forces Lea to share a tiny flat with a stranger, they make one rule: never meet. Day girl. Night boy. One apartment. A hundred notes on the fridge.
