The Familiar Face✅
Liv Foster and Noah Fisher were the kind of childhood friends who could finish each other's sentences and steal fries off each other's plates without asking. Summers meant baseball dirt under Noah's nails, sunburn on Liv's shoulders, and some kind of unspoken promise that they'd always be in each other's orbit. Cut to college-new freedom, same heartbeat-and somewhere between study sessions and late-night drives, friendship twisted into something heavier. They fell, hard. Until Noah did the one thing Liv thought he never would: he cheated. No drama explosion, no cinematic screaming. Just quiet devastation. She walked away and built walls out of professionalism and caffeine. Years later, Liv gets an email that looks like the universe playing a cruel joke: she's just been offered a job as assistant to the new athletic director for the Party Animals. The same chaotic rival team that loves glitter, pranks, and unhinged celebrations. The same team where Noah Fisher-number 12, golden-boy outfielder, heartbreak incarnate-now plays. Liv walks into that stadium like she owns her composure. Noah sees her for the first time in years, and every apology he rehearsed evaporates. Their dynamic turns into this tightrope walk between old habits and unresolved tension. He tries humor, she gives him silence. He makes a catch mid-game, and she refuses to look impressed. But rivalry has a strange way of making sparks dangerous again. Forced to collaborate for charity events, media shoots, and player discipline reports (because Noah definitely pulls pranks that end up on TikTok), they start peeling back the layers-resentment, guilt, that stupid old warmth that never really died. It's friends to lovers to strangers to lovers again, but this time older, warier, and more real. The question isn't whether they'll fall again-it's whether they can trust each other not to break what's already been rebuilt.
Hate Me Closer (FreenBecky)
Freen and Becky are both ambitious college students studying law at the same prestigious Royal Thai School of Law. They come from very different backgrounds, but share a fierce drive to succeed in their field. Freen, confident and assertive, often gives off an air of arrogance. She believes she's superior, not just in intellect but also in social status. Becky, on the other hand, is equally intelligent, but she has a strong sense of humility. She's hardworking and a little more reserved, which makes her view Freen's confidence as self-importance. Their rivalry is intense. Every group project, class discussion, and social interaction seems to escalate into arguments. Their debates and fights often spill into the hallways, making them infamous on campus. They have a constant back-and-forth-one day Becky insults Freen's way of thinking, the next day Freen criticizes Becky's lack of self-confidence. Neither can stand the other, and neither can back down. It's more than just competition-it's personal. However, when their parents announce that they're getting married. Both girls are blindsided by the news. Becky is furious, feeling betrayed by her mother for marrying Freen's father, and the idea of having to live with Freen, her sworn enemy, feels unbearable. Freen, though outwardly calm, is equally shocked and annoyed.Complete
Dear Scott
"Growing up around fairytales, Disney princesses and teen films, we are raised to believe that happy endings are always in store for us. But more often than not, reality sinks in, and the happy ending doesn't occur. Especially in high school. The main reason I liked this book so much was because it was so real. It was a love that was destined to crumble from the start, and yet, you kept pushing your luck. We've all been there. The late night texts from your crush waking you up to talk about nothing, the unexpected butterflies when you see him, the gross flaws he possess that you don't seem to notice, or the small things he does that turn you on. Most importantly, we learn that love truly is blind. We're unobservant to the world around us when our teenage love obsession is staring down at us with those big, brown, adorable eyes of theirs. And then when we wake up from this dream-like state that is a first love, we realize that he's not this perfect, older, mature man... but this boy."Complete![Together By Ink [Boy x Boy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/3419924-256-k610479.jpg)

Marrying The Wrong Twin!
# Prologue **Two Years Ago** The music is too loud. I can't stop laughing. "Becky, slow down," Irin says. Someone stops me from reaching for another drink. Saint's twin. Freen. "I think you've had enough." "Where's Saint?" I slur. "Work emergency," she says quietly. The room spins. I stumble toward the exit. Three guys block my path, saying disgusting things. Freen steps in front of me. "She's with me. Back off." They don't listen until security comes. In her car, everything's fuzzy. Her gentle hands helping me to the door. Waiting while I fumble with keys. When I turn to thank her, she's so close. Gold flecks in her dark eyes. The kiss happens before I can think. Soft. Perfect. I pull away, mumbling apologies. She backs into the shadows. I stumble inside and pass out. **The Next Morning** Saint calls early. "Beck, I'm so sorry about last night. Are you okay?" "What do you mean?" "The guys bothering you. I'm so glad I could help you get away from them." I frown. "You were there?" "Of course. I couldn't let anything happen to you. I was so worried when I saw those guys cornering you. Thank God I got you home safely." My head hurts too much to think clearly. "Thank you." "You don't remember much, do you? You were pretty drunk. That's probably for the best. Just know that I'll always protect you, Beck." Warmth spreads through my chest. Saint saved me. Saint protected me. That's when I fall in love with him. **Present Day** I'm staring at my reflection in the wrinkled wedding dress. "Becky? The car is here." The car to take me to marry the wrong twin. Saint left me at the altar this morning. Gone. Now I have to marry Freen. The woman who barely speaks to me. Who avoids me. I don't understand why she dislikes me so much. In an hour, I'll marry someone who can't even look me in the eye. Someone who isn't Saint.Complete
HEART THAT BEAT FOR YOU
Freen has lived five years with a transplanted heart, engaged to the man who stood by her through every battle. She should be happy. She should be ready for the future. But when she meets Becky-a reclusive painter whose work radiates grief and devotion-her world tilts. Becky has spent years trapped in mourning, painting only the woman she lost too soon. The fiancée who looks uncannily like Freen. What begins as quiet conversations and stolen moments soon grows into something neither of them can name. But love this fragile has ghosts. Because Becky's lost fiancée looks exactly like Freen. Because Freen's heart beats with a truth she doesn't yet know. Because to choose each other means betraying the man Freen promised her life to and for Becky to finally letting go of the woman she thought she could never live without. Told with aching intimacy and devastating tenderness, this is a story of two women bound by loss, by fate, and by a love that demands they face the hardest question of all: What if the heart remembers, even when we try to forget?Complete
