Griffin James is fun. Captain of the basketball team. Hottest guy on campus.

He is the definition of fun.

But I had also seen another side of him in the short time I had known him. The side that didn't feel like he is enough for his dad. The side that practiced flashcards with me for Intro to Con Law. The side that held my hand as I talked about my childhood best friend's dad's life sentence in prison.

But there is also a part of me that was really scared to invest my time and emotions into Griffin. What if he is just using me to get a good grade in Professor Santos' class and I would end up looking stupid at the end of this? This whole thing came out of nowhere and was happening so fast.

I am not the type of girl to put my feelings over logic. I never listen to my heart over my head. I am Julia Quinn. Practical, logical, safe Julia Quinn. But as my three best friends sat anxiously waiting for me to decide, I could feel my heart telling me that I can't only be living my entire life preparing for the future.

And maybe, just maybe, there is a tiny side of Griffin James that does actually like me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Julia Quinn is hyper-focused on excelling at Whitman University so that she can get into a good law school. As a 4.0 student and president of the mock trial team, nothing will distract Julia from her goal. That is, until the captain of  the basketball team, Griffin James, sits next to her on the first day of classes.All Rights Reserved

His Only Affection ✓ by Qwinofhearts

"What makes you think I'd ever love someone like you?" She turned to face me, sitting up and gesturing with her hands. "I don't love you! Should I say it in Spanish?" "I'd kiss you right now, and I guarantee you wouldn't want me to stop," I said, my voice a low, tempting drawl. "What?" she replied, her eyes wide. "Bet?" I challenged with a roguish grin. "I... I wouldn't. What do you think I am, one of your flings?" "No," I said, leaning in closer, my eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her pulse quicken. "You're the one who turned my life upside down in the most irresistible way. And if you gave me a chance, I bet you'd find yourself craving more." "Don't flatter yourself. I'd never-" "Alright then, love. Should we put it to the test?" It all starts with some foundation ~🌻💛 "His Only" series #1 Follow Bunny and Levi as their innocent friendship and siblinghood takes a sick turn into obsession and everything in between✨🖤

Falling for the Bad Boy by DanniDiva

Alyssa is book smart and clueless when it comes to things in the outside world. All she cares about are her grades and why should she bother about anything else when she's got the football team's handsome quarter back as her boyfriend, right? But Alyssa's fantasy comes crashing down when she finds out, Bennet, her boyfriend is cheating on her with the last person she expected. Alyssa feels even more stupid when she finds out literally everyone in the school knows about it, except her and her frustration and heartbreak knows no bounds, until Cameron comes along. Cameron has never had a reason to like Alyssa, and the fact that she was his step brothers girlfriend didn't even cut it. So when Cameron approaches her to fake date to make his step brother realize his mistake and also see what he's missing out on, Alyssa is skeptical about the whole deal. She takes it, on one condition, no matter what happens, they're not allowed to fall for each other. But what happens when they begin to spend time with each other and Alyssa begins to realize there's more to the mysterious and broody social outcast that Cameron is? Will she go back on her rule? or will she be the first to throw caution into the wind?

Hopelessly Falling [book 2] by BriellaDiamond

"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.

Bully stepbrother by shesdreamingiamshe

BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. "You need to call off this party," I boldly told my stepbrother in the kitchen. He cocked his head attractively, his thin eyes scrutinizing me. His upper lip curled up in that seductive habit that I had become familiar with. "And why should I do that?" he murmured. His eyes were come-to-bed-with-me stunning, inviting with me with that inescapable pull, and damn if I didn't wet my panties. Get it together, Madison, said my insidious voice. I almost complied with that command until Caden went on and said something that left me breathless before his egotistical smirk. "Will you be my snack tonight?" He hates you. Don't forget that. I was reminded by my subconscious. *** Caden always goes extreme to make my life a living hell since after our parents got married four years ago. Although I'm similar to my stepbrother-the only difference between us is: I am a surreptitious bully, and Caden's a blatant bully. I wonder how sharing the same apartment for our first year at Stanford University will turn out. Honestly? I'm not eager to find out. Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances in this compelling two-part saga. This is Caden and Madison's story.

Destined By Fate by LoraWhite6

Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

Bad Girl's Nerd by _angry_human_

"To what do I owe this honor?" his voice is trembling with laughter. Jee-buss... he finds this funny... "I saw a butterfly and followed it in here?" I more like ask. He starts laughing. I can only stare. I am loving this. I love this sound. I love this clear view of his forest-green eyes without any glasses. He puts his head on my shoulder as he continues to laugh. "Oh dear, is that what it would take me to get you in my room?" he wipes his eye releasing my hands. I want to answer, 'No... All you need to do is smile and I'll follow you anywhere'. But I keep my mouth shut. He is looking down at me. "Seriously, why are you here? Tell me before I start assuming...." he raises his eyebrow suggestively. ........................................

"What are you doing?" He glances up at me through his glasses, his bored tone sending a jolt through me as I sit on his lap. I know he's a god at this 'poker face' game, but he needs to realise that his body always tells a different story-like how hard he's gripping my thigh right now and how hard he is beneath me. Yet, I can't ignore the power he exudes. There's this strange, dominating energy about him that makes me feel small as if I am a rat being cowered back into a hole. And for Reina Gavril to feel that way? I hate it. I hate him. 𓂃 ᥫ᭡ 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗔𝗩𝗥𝗜𝗟, the queen bee of Schola Stellae, has it all-flawless looks, charisma, top grades, and a touch of mischief that gets her whatever she wants. She thrives in the spotlight, playing and pulling strings with ease. Yet beneath that confident exterior is a heart; after all, queen bees rule for a reason, they know when to sting and when to play nice. That is until the quiet, nerdy Reign Augustus rejects one of her rivals, prompting her friends to challenge her into making him hers. 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗦, however isn't your typical 'good boy.' He's a quiet, aloof presence yes, but also with a lethal charm and a mind nobody can quite read. He thrives in his solitude, refusing to take anyone's shit-because being good doesn't mean being weak, timid, or a pushover. To sum it up, bad girl with a soft side meets a good boy with a dark twist. And as she sets out on her mission, their opposing worlds clash, creating inevitable rivalry, tensions, heartbreaks and some wildly UNHOLY lessons that might make them go back and forth. | 𝒔𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏❕❕I might also make it too poetic sometimes !! | Contains sexual scenes and profanities.
