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.

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. ᯽

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.

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.

Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes.

The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real.
