He's the football star she absolutely should not want. Malaina Chastain has her life perfectly planned. Pre-vet track, 4.0 GPA, complete STEM requirements. And absolutely, positively, no distractions-especially not football players. But when she's assigned to tutor running back Choi Seo Joon in organic chemistry, her carefully controlled world starts to unravel. He's patient where others are pushy. Thoughtful where others are thoughtless. And he looks at her like she's more than just the perfect student everyone expects her to be. There's just one problem: she's supposed to be getting back together with her ex, Cooper - the safe choice, the expected choice, the one her family and friends have already planned her future around. Between cotillion practices with the wrong guy, stolen moments with the right one, and a viral video that exposes feelings she's been trying to deny, Malaina has to decide: keep being perfect, or start being happy. Because sometimes the biggest risk isn't falling for the wrong person. It's falling for the right one. ✨ A clean slow-burn college romance about finding yourself, defying expectations, and discovering that home isn't a place-it's a person. ✨ Updates on Friday! 🏈 College Football Romance | AMBW | Forced Proximity | Forbidden Romance | Found Family Trigger Warnings: minor character with terminal illness, mention of death

What We Didn't Plan For by Christiana He had a plan for his last season before the draft. She had a plan for her first year of college. Falling in love was never part of either of them. Madison Park is a first-year sports journalism student with straight A's, big dreams, and the weight of being a first-generation Korean-American determined to do everything right. Noah Callahan is USC's star quarterback-cocky, brilliant, and destined for the NFL-counting down the days until his life changes forever. When a fake relationship helps Madison gain access for an assignment and helps Noah quiet the noise around his life, the rules are simple: No feelings. No complications. No getting attached. But late-night calls turn into early-morning routines. Sidelines turn into safe places. And pretending starts to feel a little too real. As the season heats up, so do the stakes-on the field, in the newsroom, and in a story far bigger than either of them expected. When truth, justice, and loyalty collide, Madison and Noah are forced to choose who they are when doing the right thing costs everything. This is a story about love that grows quietly, courage that shows up when it matters most, and the things life gives us that we never planned for-but can't imagine losing. A college sports romance about ambition, integrity, and choosing truth over silence.

Besties is a slow-burn AMBW/KMBW contemporary romance about family, culture, and the space between what we want and what we can live with. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R. L.
