Whoever says boys and girls can't just be friends is lying, and Lexi Hamilton is living proof of that.
Spending the majority of her adolescence surrounded by only boys, Lexi is accustomed to maintaining strictly platonic relationships with the men she's remained closest to. Not once has she ever gushed over one of her friends, or even remotely felt the smallest twinge of romantic affection for a single one of them.
That is, until senior year.
With graduation and college looming ahead, Lexi planned to spend her senior year spending the entirety of her free time with the five boys closest to her. She accomplishes that - but she also develops feelings she has never in her life felt before.
As much as she tries to deny it, she has truly become enamored by one of the guys that she has considered a best friend for most of her life. She refused to acknowledge her feelings, knowing they have the potential to ruin everything she has come to appreciate about her friend group.
But will love somehow conquer her fears and allow her to seek something bigger than she could have ever imagined? Or will her worries prove true?

Fading Boundaries Again
Olivia Wren grew up in a strict household-the kind with rules for everything: when to go to bed, where she could be, and constant location tracking the second she left the house. Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Complete
Pretend
Summer Knightly and Jace Evans have been best friends for an extremely long time. Eight years, to be exact. And according to research, if a friendship exceeds seven years, it will last a lifetime. This will be put to the test when Mia Anderson, the hottest and most popular girl in town (as cliché as that sounds) sets her eyes on Jace, which he absolutely detests because she's horrible to Summer. So Jace hatches a plan to get rid of the unwanted attention from Mia by asking Summer to be his pretend girlfriend, which Summer agrees to because it was also a way for her to seek revenge on Mia. What Summer doesn't know is that he has an ulterior motive behind asking her. Jace's ulterior motive might break their eight years of friendship, or make it become something much more because can a boy and a girl with so much history (and chemistry) really just stay friends and not fall for each other?Complete
