Say You're Mine and Mean It by iamsavvymonet

SAY YOU'RE MINE AND MEAN IT Desmond Matrice keeps her head down, her shot clean, and her heart out of reach. Raised on survival and silence, she's built for pressure-on the court and in life. But when a honey-skinned cheerleader with too much lip gloss and not enough boundaries sets her sights on her, Desmond's routine starts to slip. Haylen Blakemoor is used to getting what she wants. And what she wants is Desmond-cool, quiet, unreadable Desmond. The girl who won't flirt back but never looks away. The girl who moves like control, but kisses like chaos. What starts with hallway glances and late-night FaceTimes turns into sleepovers, sideline tension, and a love that refuses to wait its turn. Desmond's afraid to need. Haylen needs too much. And neither of them is backing down. This isn't just a campus love story. It's about claiming what's yours. And holding on-harder, louder, deeper. If you say it, you better mean it.

Strip Me Yours by ritarwrites

Charlotte Davenport had all she could ever need, but nothing she ever really wanted. She had to live by the rules and expectations of her rich, controlling father, never allowed to truly be herself. Alex Baker grew up not having anything at all, even the things he needed. He spent his life doing what he could to survive, believing he was meant to be alone, never letting anyone get close. They both left everything they knew behind so they could attend a prestigious Ivy League school and make their dreams come true. Alex was chasing a career as a pro footballer, and Charlotte desperately wanted to stand on her own. The catch? It wasn't the fresh start they hoped for. They already knew each other from high school, and it was hate at first sight. So different, they couldn't help but clash, and college became their new minefield. But fate had other plans for them, and they couldn't escape it. A series of unexpected events unraveled their secrets, forcing them to question everything they thought they knew about each other. Suddenly, the lines got blurry, and with every touch, they hated each other a little bit less...

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance) by DomiSotto

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED.

All she wants is to get accepted to Harvard and graduate with top marks to follow the career she has set for herself. Her entire life is about becoming an independent and successful vet.

She sees a loser who will live on daddy's money and drink away his youth while sleeping with every girl in the county. At 17, they have known one another most of their lives and never had any kind of friendly relationship.

A series of events pulls them closer, a forbidden and unexpected accidental kiss, and they plummet into confusion as feelings grow that neither expected. Slowly the walls come down between them, and they have far more in common than they ever imagined.

After years of burying herself in medical school, Josie Saltzman is finally ready-or at least being forced by her sister and best friend-to reenter the dating world.

A face she hasn't seen in years. Hope Mikaelson. The girl who was once her best friend. Her first love. Her heartbreak. As Josie navigates first dates, late-night chats, and her own doubts, she begins to uncover the truth she's tried to forget: Sometimes love doesn't fade. It just waits. But Hope carries a past she's never shared-one that could tear them apart all over again. And when the final letter is read, Josie will have to decide: Is love worth the risk of breaking twice? A slow-burn second-chance romance about grief, growth, and the girl who never really left.
