Celestial: A Football Romance | 18+ | G.L. Lux by theofficialgllux

Valia Ariti never asked for the spotlight. That was always Bryce's world, Capesview's golden boy, star wide receiver, and everyone's favorite headline. She's spent her life in his shadow, and transferring to his university was supposed to be her way out. A fresh start. A name of her own. But from the moment she sets foot on campus, she's still just Bryce's sister. And then there's Arcas Briarwood, Bryce's best friend, Capesview's NFL-bound quarterback, and the one person who knows exactly how to get under her skin. Arrogant, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, he's everything Valia swore she'd avoid. But fate doesn't care about her rules. Thrown into each other's orbit, Valia begins to see beyond the charm and perfectly calculated smirk. There's more to Arcas, something real, something raw, and it terrifies her more than she's willing to admit. She wasn't supposed to let anyone in. She definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him. But sometimes, the person you swore off is the only one who truly sees you. And maybe, just maybe, the shadow she's been trying to outrun... is exactly where she was meant to stand all along. Book 1 In the Reputation Series can be read as a standalone

Silent Skates by Appleepieey

Emily Carter promised herself she'd never step on the ice again. Not after her father left. Not after skating became a reminder of everything she lost. But skating is the only place she feels alive-and it's the one thing she keeps hidden from everyone. Then there's Leon Fletcher. Hockey captain. Golden boy. Her best friend's cousin. He wasn't supposed to notice her, and she wasn't supposed to care. Except Leon has already seen her secret. And the more they collide-at school, at the rink, under the lights-the harder it is to pretend she doesn't feel something. A slow-burn sports romance about secrets, skating, and falling for the one person who could change everything.

Silent Temptation ✔️ || 18 + by lustenvy

First draft • completed • Cliche She was supposed to leave him behind. Instead, he followed her home-with a grin and a proposition she can't refuse. • • • Leon and Charlottes story (can be read as a standalone but is part of a series - read sinful liabilities first if you want to) • • • Leon Collins has an uncanny resemblance to temptation - and Charlotte Hudson knows better than to touch it twice. As maid of honour to her best friend and sister-in-law-to-be, Charlotte's only job is to keep the wedding week flawless. But that's easier said than done when the best man is Leon: her brother's best friend, her best friend's brother, and the one mistake she swore she'd never make again. They danced too close once - too drunk, too messy, too young, and far too unforgettable. Now they're walking down the aisle together, tension simmering under every glance, every brush of skin, every drunken confession that never should've left her lips. When the week ends, Charlotte thinks she's leaving the past - and him behind for good. She's wrong. Because Leon Collins just got traded to her new team. Now he's in her office, in her space, and in her head - all charm, smirks, and a proposition that shouldn't sound as tempting as it does. One rule. No feelings. Just a physical arrangement to burn off the heat neither of them can seem to ignore. But desire this dangerous doesn't play by the rules. And the closer Charlotte gets to Leon, the more her carefully built walls begin to crack. She promised herself she'd never fall for him again. But Leon Collins has always been the one risk she can't resist.

The Borrowed Fiancé by DistortedRaven34

Borrowing him was supposed to be harmless. Falling for him? Not part of the deal. Everly Allen doesn't do love stories anymore. Not after watching one destroy everything she believed in. With her brother's wedding days away, a family obsessed with her relationship status, and a past she can't outrun, she makes a reckless decision. She borrows a man. A fake boyfriend. A distraction. Easton Hayes, tattooed, brooding, infuriatingly smug, is the last person she should've chosen. He's the CEO of Chrome Customs, her best friend's fiancé, and the man she once wanted so badly it nearly broke her. But Hailey insisted. She planned it. She pushed them together. Because Hailey always had a plan. What Everly doesn't know, what she's never supposed to find out, is that this isn't a harmless favor. It's a lie. One so carefully constructed it blurs the line between loyalty and betrayal. And the night before her brother's wedding, the truth starts to crack. Every look from Easton feels like a confession. Every touch feels like something borrowed. And every secret Hailey kept begins to unravel, one piece at a time. Because this fake relationship isn't fake at all. It's a slow burning fuse tied to a secret that could destroy them all. Some love stories start with a kiss. This one starts with a lie. And theirs might end with the one thing Everly never saw coming, goodbye. Because some love stories aren't just complicated, they're impossible. And the truth waiting at the end of theirs? It might be the most heartbreaking twist of all. Sometimes love begins with a lie. And ends with a goodbye. A slow burn, angsty fake dating romance about forbidden longing, buried truths, and the kind of betrayal that makes you question everything you thought was love.

Brave Enough To Love Again by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery. Both are still being haunted by their past and are not ready for a new commitment, but when fate repeatedly puts them in each other's paths, they can't deny their attraction for each other. Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

But Cavallo is trouble . . . big trouble. She can't keep her eyes or hands off him. Proving herself is one thing, but how will she keep her relationship with Cavallo on ice?
