Ours To Defy (All Ours, #3) by SoHoAuthor

𝓢𝓸𝔂𝓪𝓷𝓪 ♥︎ I've left the runway behind, but I've never stopped fighting to prove myself in a world that demands perfection. I built my career on creativity and resilience, carving out a name for myself in the unforgiving fashion industry. Now, as a designer, I call the shots. But when my past comes crashing back, I find my focus wavering. Liam Grant, as smug as ever. The British soccer star who almost distracted me once before is suddenly everywhere. But I've got no time for his charm or his smooth talk, no matter how much tension still lingers between us. This island isn't big enough for both of us, and we both know it. 𝓛𝓲𝓪𝓶 ♡︎ I'm used to the pressure of big matches, but running into Soyana again? That wasn't part of my playbook. But apparently, neither was forgetting her. She's even sharper than I remember, tougher, and completely unfazed by me. I've spent my entire career figuring out ways around the toughest defenses, but this might be the hardest challenge yet. But hey, I've never walked away from anything without a fight.

A month after Sawyer's 21st birthday, she makes the biggest decision she has yet. Sawyer decides to leave Georgia and the life her father planned out behind her.

Sweet Spot by TheFeveredBookaholic

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

The charming, fun and fellow Sundevil had Lucy swooning until his confession of never dating co-workers and his reputation of being a serial cheater forced her into the friend zone.

When Lucy's engagement ends and she's forced back to Phoenix, she's conflicted about seeing her old friend and former flame.
