Eliza Okafor has had enough of two things: relationships and, well... men.
After a brutal breakup that left her questioning her self-worth, the last thing she needs is a new distraction. But when her professor pairs her with Lucky Ashford-cocky, unpredictable, and annoyingly good at everything-Eliza finds herself in for more than just a challenge.
Their mission? Build a revolutionary prosthetic leg that can feel.
Their problem? They can't stand each other.
Too bad she swore off love.
Too bad Lucky might just be the exception.
Break a leg? More like risk a heart.

First Position, Last Nerve
Scarlett Sovanna doesn't have time for nonsense-especially not the kind that wears a backwards cap and throws parties on Tuesday nights. As a dedicated ballerina at a top-tier arts college, her world revolves around perfect pirouettes, brutal rehearsals, and keeping her spot in the program. There's no room for distractions. Especially not him. Elliot Sinclair is college royalty-the star quarterback with a devil-may-care attitude and a line of admirers trailing behind him. He lives for the game, the thrill, and the spotlight. He and Scarlett couldn't be more different... except for one inconvenient truth: their families are practically intertwined. When Scarlett's dorm situation turns into a nightmare, the Sinclairs offer Elliot's guest room to her. Sharing a space with the person she finds most insufferable on campus? Not ideal. But as the walls come down, so do their assumptions about each other. What starts as chilly silence turns into heated banter. And somewhere between late-night talks and stolen glances, feelings develop. She's all discipline. He's all chaos. Together? They just might fall into something real.Complete

Katrina Ashford is the only daughter of one of the world's most successful CEOs, a young woman used to privilege, power, and having the world at her feet. Half-Filipina, half-American, she has grown up in a life of luxury-but her reckless behavior and defiance have finally pushed her parents to their limit.

Ironically, her family has funded countless universities across the globe-including Lara de Leon's university, where Katrina must start over. Lara de Leon is everything Katrina isn't-disciplined, brilliant, and admired by everyone around her. Yet something about Lara draws Katrina in, challenging her to rethink her choices, confront her past, and discover what it truly means to love. As sparks fly and hearts collide, Katrina must learn that power, privilege, and wealth mean nothing without someone who sees-and changes-her for who she really is.Complete

She has her own issues: self-sabotage, lack of focus in studying, randomly popping up acne and not loving the way she looked. But she could forget all that as long as she is reading about two people falling in love and finding their happily ever after. Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school. According to Emily, Landon is handsome, sophisticated, well-spoken and unlike any of the immature boys of her class who didn't get her at all. Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance. At the same time, her seatmate in chemistry, the rumored delinquent, grumpy asshole Nathan Callahan, makes fun of her romantic dreams. Can Emily ever find true love? Completed.

Tangled Fate
"Even in the darkest moments, there's a reason to smile-because pain is only part of the journey, not the destination." Serafina and Allesandro, fierce business rivals, are two souls bound by ambition and haunted by their pasts. In the high-stakes world of corporate power plays, they've always been at odds-Serafina, the bright and sharp negotiator with a smile that hides deep pain, and Allesandro, the cold, calculating businessman who has long since buried his dreams under layers of loss and betrayal. Neither expected much from each other beyond the fierce competition in the boardroom. But when their paths cross in a moment of emotional chaos, something shifts. Serafina's lively spirit and laughter begin to thaw Allesandro's icy exterior, while he offers her a stability she's never known-a calm amidst the storm of her trauma. As their rivalry turns into an undeniable connection, they find themselves drawn to each other, not just as opponents but as two people who understand the weight of hiding their scars. Together, they confront the ghosts of their pasts-Serafina, with her broken home and lost love, and Allesandro, with his fears of being hurt again. But their love is fragile, constantly tested by the demands of their careers and the unresolved pain they both carry. When Serafina's buried trauma resurfaces, threatening to pull them apart, they must decide: Can they truly overcome their pasts and smile through the pain, or will their rivalry-and their own fears-tear them apart? In "Tangled Fate," love and ambition collide as Serafina and Allesandro discover that even in a world built on competition and betrayal, there's still hope for healing and happinessComplete
