Christian Ryder may be Hollywood's newest Golden Boy, but to Sophia Hastings, he's a reminder that you can't outrun your past, especially if you're the kid who used to walk the mile in high school.
Eighteen-year-old Sophia has had big screen dreams ever since she can remember. Too bad her only taste of fame involved a tree costume, buffalo wings, and a submission to America's Funniest Home videos a decade ago. That all changes when a lucky break lands her in Hollywood, with none other than Christian Ryder at her side.
A heartthrob whose acting career skyrocketed faster than even he could keep up with, Christian has it all: the fame, the fortune, and the girls. He would gladly tell anyone who was willing to listen all about the girls. Too bad the only one who actually matters would sooner jump off of a cliff than jump into bed with him.
Sophia is determined not to let her new leading man get to her. Christian has never been afraid of a challenge. But this one has a catch. This challenge could destroy much more than just his ego.

Her Devil May Care : A Reverse Grumpy Sunshine RomCom
Hailey Baker doesn't do weddings. She doesn't do small talk, dancing in public, or flying--ever. She prefers her feet on the ground, her heart locked up, and her sarcasm sharp enough to keep everyone at arm's length. Enter Charlie Wilder. Air Force pilot. Best man with a questionable mustache. As a certified golden retriever, he barrels through life with laughter, charm, and zero chill. He's the exact type Hailey swore off--persistent, ridiculous, too handsome for his own good... and annoyingly hard to ignore. After one unforgettable kiss cut short, fate throws them back together. Charlie is determined to prove he's more than a reckless playboy, and his relentless pursuit is equal parts infuriating and irresistible. But behind his sunshine smile is a man with secrets of his own. She doesn't do love. He doesn't do serious. But the chemistry between them? That might just take off-whether Hailey's ready to fly or not.

Until ambition, betrayal, and one devastating misunderstanding tore them apart. She swore she'd never speak to him again. He made sure she wouldn't have the chance. Now, Aria Devlin walks into the biggest pitch of her career-only to find Ethan Kade, the boy she once trusted, sitting at the head of the table. No longer the reckless business student she knew, he's a ruthless CEO with a gaze as sharp as his suit. Aria: "We're here for business, nothing else." Ethan: "Then why are you still holding your breath?" Every meeting becomes a battlefield, every word a calculated strike. She wants to win the deal. He wants to win against her. But between late-night strategy sessions and dangerously close arguments, the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Ethan: "I'm not here to win, Aria. I'm here to make sure you lose." Aria: "Guess I'm harder to kill than your ego." Some grudges never die. Some desires never fade. And this time, the stakes are more than just business-because losing might mean giving up the one thing they swore they'd never want again. And some second chances might cost more than either is willing to pay.
