Set in a city where news doesn't sleep, and sports is sacred, fate brings together two very different kinds of people.
For Lorelle Fisher, magazine and newspaper writer and editor, sports is as important to her as a bag of knock off Jimmy Choo's. Completely irrelevant.
For Pierre Bronc, point guard of the New York Knicks, the news doesn't concern him, no matter how many times he appears on it. It's just there to make him look bad. Literally, he looks fatter on T.V.
The lives of these two people will collide brutally, leaving in their wake a trail of horror, destruction, disappointment, a whole lot of sex, and maybe even a little love.

Her Brother's Best Friend - Aching Hearts Series #2
If asked, baby Emily Robinson would have gleefully said that, her life revolved around two cornerstones: volleyball, Riley. Volleyball was the passion that gave her life. Riley was the "special friend" that fueled said passion and offered an otherwise insecure, shy little girl the means to grow up strong, confident, badass. Professional volleyball was a dream close to becoming true. Riley was reality. The most reassuring one. If asked, Emily would have said, she could not live without those two. That's why when, in a matter of months, she loses both, Emily's life starts spiraling down. The self consciousness about her looks goes from easily containable to fullout war waging deep inside her, menacing to bring her down any minute. So when, four years later, Riley comes back, he finds that his cutely shy Honeybee has turned into a beautiful quasi woman that is inexplicably paralyzed by fears. How can he help her regain the strength she had? And what happens when he starts realizing that indeed, his Honeybee is no longer a child, she's become a dangerously attractive girl. How can he help her fight her demons, without letting his mind and heart stray? He can't fall for the same child he used to babysit ... or can he?

More than lies
Maya Reyes never meant to fake-date a celebrity. She's just the sarcastic, volleyball-playing girl-next-door with a secret passion for music and a tendency to keep people at arm's length. But when her best friend-and rising star athlete-Malakai Ward panics at a charity auction and begs her to win a date with him (to avoid his obsessive ex), she agrees. What starts as a favor spirals into headlines, rumors, and one very inconvenient PR stunt: pretend to be in love. For real. To the world, they're the perfect couple. To their close-knit friend group? Just friends. To Maya? A safe way to bring a fake boyfriend to her ex's wedding without any messy feelings. But as she helps Malakai navigate his anxiety and he pushes her to release music under a secret pseudonym, the lines blur-and faking it gets harder. Then the secrets unravel: her hidden music career, the little sister she's raising in silence, and the grief she never talks about. Malakai falls first. Maya falls harder. And when the truth finally breaks them apart, they'll both have to choose between fear and vulnerability, pride and forgiveness, pretending and something real. Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with a lie.Complete
Smile For Me Captain
|(BxB)| Eli gasped dramatically. "Okay, that earns you like, three boyfriend points." Ryan raised a brow, amused. "Is there a scale?" "There's always a scale." Eli took a sandwich, unwrapping it. "You're at, uh, seven points total now." "Seven out of...?" Eli pretended to think. "Let's say fifty." Ryan scoffed. "Fifty? Harsh grading." "Earn the rest," Eli said, smirking before taking a bite. ᯽ Eli never meant to fall for the captain of the basketball team. He just wanted to get through senior year quietly, taking photos for the yearbook and avoiding human interaction whenever possible. But when he's assigned to cover the basketball team-meaning taking photos and interviewing players-his life turns into a blur of camera flashes, flying basketballs, and one very annoyingly perfect captain. Ryan Calloway has it all-charm, talent, and the whole school wrapped around his finger. Being the pastor's kid comes with expectations, though... and none of them include falling for the beautiful boy behind the lens. But Eli's smart mouth is addictive. His dimple is distracting. And soon, Ryan's double life starts getting harder to balance-especially when every stolen glance feels like a confession waiting to happen. Between clumsy interviews, accidental almost-kisses, and late-night games that turn into something softer, Eli and Ryan find themselves caught in the one thing neither of them saw coming. Love. And maybe, just maybe-it's worth smiling for. ᯽
