"He's still holding me close, his lips an inch away from mine. His eyes are filled with desire, searching mine frantically, and I can tell he wants it. He wants me."

When 19 y/o Taylor Hadley meets the man of her dreams in a bar, he asks her to spend the night with him. Even though it's all she wants to do, she walks away.

Later, after she regrets her decision, she finds out who he truly is - a professional footballer with a large fan following - but he felt like a different person to her.

When all she's trying to do is forget about the man she can never have again, she finds herself spending two weeks in a national university sporting tournament - where the man of her dreams is now a coach. 

As she tries all she can to take her mind off him, she finds herself wanting him more and more; and there are moments she could swear he wants her too. Unfortunately, she has the competition of every girl in the camp. Has he forgotten about her, or is he fighting to get her back so they can finish what they started?

36 parts Complete Mature
A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret... Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can't bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually...and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she's in love with him. She can't give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else. Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore... Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him-until he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He'll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her. But Lily raises the stakes... Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition car she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she'll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved 'Cuda is his to keep. In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation. If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam's touch as she's starting to crave Nikoli's? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

[BOOK 1] "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

Let Love Win

36 parts Complete Mature

Hadley Brian has been in jail more often than the average person and is proud to say that she still holds the top average in her entire musical arts program at the University of California. On top of all that, she manages to keep the secret of living under the care of an orphanage. She's been there as far back as she can remember and yet still the only other person who knows is her best friend Mel. Newcomer Zeek, like the typical guy in this neck of the woods, grows attracted to Hadley. But not for her looks or because of her willingness to put out, but for her musical talent and love for life. Unfortunately, there's one part of her that Zeek never saw coming through the front that Hadley puts up. An unexpected run in on a day out brings Hadley to the biggest decision she's ever had to make: let him in, or cast him out. The answer has always been the same but when it comes to Zeek and the unmistakeable pull that he ultimately has on her, she seems to be doing everything differently. No matter what the answer to her problem is, the question still remains whether or not she will throw out the last 18 years of her life never knowing what love really is, and give it a chance long enough to let love win. *references made to writing original songs but I DO NOT OWN THE SONGS AT ALL*
