Working alongside the football team famous player is walking a dangerous line, but some lines are meant to be crossed.
Tessa Dalca has the odds stacked against her: she's attending college on an academic scholarship while holding down three part-time jobs, she owes an astronomical amount of money for medical bills, and her father is barely able to take care of himself. The financial and emotional burden she caused her family years ago still haunts her-and it makes things even worse that her mother is no longer around for Tessa to prove her worth to. But her father is, and earning his unconditional love is all that matters.
When the captain of the university's football team, Logan Hamilton, asks Tessa to assist him in a fundraising project, she can't afford to turn down another paying job, despite knowing that being in close proximity to a player-in every sense of the word-is walking a dangerous line.
Despite Tessa's refusal to date Logan, no matter how often he asks, he soon proves himself to be more than the Golden Boy player everyone says he is. He works hard for what he believes in, is loyal and charming, and above all, he shows Tessa what unconditional support and love really mean. But to Tessa, love feels like the ultimate concoction of being powerful and powerless all at the same time, and she's not sure if she can trust herself-or him-enough to place this power in Logan's hands. With every scorching touch and lustful kiss, Logan devours her will to resist.
When Tessa's dad makes a decision that could break them both, Tessa blames herself for being distracted from her goal of paying the debt-financial and emotional-she owes to her father. But there's one major problem: in this pursuit, Tessa begins to lose sight of what really matters. And if she's not careful, she might lose everyone who is important to her, including herself.
Some scenes deal with sensitive topics some may find triggering. Happily-ever-after is guaranteed.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete

Maybe Happily Ever After✔️
I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though. With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real. Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job.
