THE GOAL

When her friend decided to give her virginity to Heath Fitzroy, Hayden Adams had a lot to say. She was torn. She doesn't like the plan, but she wants to support her friend.

Besides, Hayden is there to protect her and cut off Heath's balls if he hurts her friend.

But some things are not as simple as they seem.

THE PLAYER

Heath Fitzroy knows that the world lies supine at his feet. He has a loving family; their being rich is just a bonus. His college life is everything he expected it to be: parties, spectacular grades, and girls.

God, the girls.

They throw themselves at him, and he is willing to catch every single one of them.

Especially the one.

Only she doesn't throw herself at him. Instead, she walks this life as if he does not exist.

So when opportunity knocks, he opens the door with everything he's got.All Rights Reserved

Dragonbound by blossomspecs

I always knew I didn't belong. Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University was supposed to be my fresh start - a chance to keep my head down, focus on premed, and outrun the shadows of my past. But from the moment I step on campus, everything changes. It starts with Aiden Thorne - the university god with golden retriever charm and a smile that makes my heart race. Then there's Kieran Wolfe - sharp-tongued and dangerous, yet somehow soft when his eyes land on me. Kai Mercer is my silent protector, fierce and watchful, like he's ready to tear the world apart to keep me safe. And Damon Blackwell... cold, ruthless, and unreadable, but when no one's looking, his actions speak louder than any words. They shouldn't notice me. But they do. When they touch me, sparks ignite beneath my skin, a heat I can't explain. And as much as I try to keep my distance, they pull me closer - unraveling secrets I never asked to know and feelings I'm not ready to face. But there's something about them. Something different. They're not just rich. Not just powerful. Falling for them could be the most dangerous thing I've ever done. But some fires aren't meant to be extinguished. Some are meant to burn. No MM interactions.

Lie to Him, Moan for Me! by whwrite

PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥

Buried Wishes ✔ by ObsessedwFiction

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders. But that was over a year ago, so it shouldn't bother her when she sees him with his best friend, Mason Van der Gelt, in the busy dining hall on her university...right? Her best friend, Harper Green, decides to take the situation into her own hands by fulfilling the promise she had given Evelyn the year before, that if she ever met him, she'd break his heart. An eye for an eye. Operation Dickbag's Heartbreak. Yet, as the plan proceeds, Evelyn starts to date Mason, almost falling for his charm and sincerity. Almost. Her heart was still Liam's, no matter how damaged it may be. This proves to be a problem when Harper falls for him as well. Everything changes when Liam reveals his own feelings and the truth behind why he hurt Ev. Commitments and loyalty become a house of cards in a hurricane as truths start to spill, leaving their chances at happiness to hang by a thread. Fair warning, there are detailed sex scenes and a shit ton of cursing.

7 Minutes in Heaven by KaiHeart15

Jemma Song is Little Miss Priss. Nate Stanford is Mr. Player. She doesn't drink, party, fight, smoke, do drugs or sleep around. He does, and when these two first meet, Jemma wants nothing to do with Nate. But when her older brother, Emmett, throws a party, she's made to play the game 7 Minutes in Heaven. And guess who she ends up in the closet with? Nate. Jemma's life will be turned upside down and will be thrown into so much more drama than she's prepared for. Yet the question still remains: How can just one simple game affect the relationship between Jemma and Nate? *NOTE: I wrote this when I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL. So a lot of my values on relationships now as a college student are quite different. Therefore, there are some aspects that I don't agree with. Keep in mind, again, that this is for ENTERTAINMENT, and therefore does not truly reflect on me as a person.

When the line blurs by uhh_emmaig

Hayden Rodrigo lives and breathes baseball. But with his grades circling the drain, the star athlete is one bad test away from losing his spot on the team-and his future. Leah Brooks lives by the rules. A straight-A student, she needs no help with academics, but she desperately needs protection from the one threat the classroom can't solve: her abusive ex, Finn. When Finn cornered her with a final, chilling threat, Leah thought she was completely alone. But Hayden overheard. Taller, stronger, and fiercely protective, Hayden sees a way out for both of them. He steps into Leah's misery with an unexpected proposal: a mutually beneficial, strictly transactional "relationship." Leah will tutor him to salvage his GPA, and in return, Hayden will become the human shield that ensures Finn never comes near her again. Leah has no choice but to accept. The deal is simple: Grades for protection. It's a high-stakes lie built on desperation, designed to last only until the threats disappear and the final bell rings. But as Hayden steps up to fight her battles, and Leah sees the quiet vulnerability beneath the athlete's swagger, the lines between their fake pact and genuine affection begin to blur. They started with a bargain to save their futures, but they might end up risking their hearts.

The Line We Crossed by The_CrazyCatLady

THE RULE: Don't fall for your best friend. THE PROBLEM: Liam Cruz. He was my anchor. The one person who understood the mess of blueprints in my head and the frantic beating of my heart. For two years, we had one rule: don't ever cross the line. Our friendship was the most important foundation in my life, and I would never risk it. But then came one party, one rival, and one lie. And the line we were never supposed to cross is the only thing I can see. The space between his bedroom and mine is ten feet of unbearable tension, and I'm not sure how much longer we can pretend not to feel the heat. What happens when your sanctuary becomes your battleground? (Author's note: Hey guys 👋 I have finished writing the whole novel! Hope you enjoy it!)

Heir to nothing by bellapams

After one devastating mistake, Anastasia Miller is expelled from her old school - a decision that still haunts her. Now forced to start over at the elite, twisted Ravenscroft Academy, she's determined to keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and avoid any distractions - especially the romantic kind. Celibate, silent, and set on survival. That was the plan. Strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and dead set on staying under the radar, Anastasia has no interest in making friends - or enemies. That all crashes when her path crosses with Noah Kingsley - the school's too-good-looking-for-his-own-good soccer captain. Cold, rude, and arrogant, he checks off every trait on her stay-the-hell-away list. So when he accidentally hits her in the head with a soccer ball, Anastasia doesn't just let it slide - she shoves a dead rat into his locker and calls it fair game. Because if he wants to act like an asshole, she's not afraid to match the energy. What starts as petty revenge turns into tension, banter, and something neither of them is ready for. But in a school where appearances are everything and everyone is hiding something, Anastasia's past is a ticking time bomb - and it's only a matter of time before it all explodes. Because at Ravenscroft, the pretty ones are damaged, the rich ones are ruthless, and even the deepest secrets don't stay buried forever.
