For Vincent Thompson, hockey isn't just a game-it's everything. Drafted as a top twelve pick in his first year, he knows that hard work is the only way to make it into the NHL. As his contract comes to an end, the pressure intensifies. To land a spot as the top free agent in the upcoming signing, Vincent will have to push himself harder than ever before.

Escaping his troubled past, Vincent is rebuilding his future as a star D1 hockey player at U-M. With newfound freedom, he can get what he wants-whenever he wants it. But when he's dared to win over Scarlett, a girl who swore she would never date a college hockey player again, Vincent faces a challenge that might change his life forever.

For Scarlett, college is about self-discovery. At U-M, she's embracing the opportunity to explore who she really is-surrounded by her closest friends, Stella, Kaia, and Brooke. Her days are filled with her love of skating, working at a local café, and a growing interest in smoking. She's determined to stay emotionally distant, keeping herself guarded from the complications of romance.

However, her friends' ties to the hockey team keep her in close proximity to the top players on campus-Vincent among them. As her 19th birthday approaches, Scarlett's curiosity about her past takes over. She decides to reach out to her birth parents, only to uncover truths that force her to confront the pain of being adopted and the uncertainty of her identity.

As Scarlett and Vincent's lives unexpectedly intertwine, both must face their personal struggles and confront the pasts they've been trying to outrun. With their futures on the line, they'll have to learn how to heal, grow, and ultimately choose their own paths forward.

"We said whoever eats the most pizza has to do the dare no matter how cruel or easy it is." This is just a glimpse of our sleepovers. Ivy and Autumn always drag me into some kind of trap to do their evil dares. Tonight, they used my worst weakness, food. Sighing, "fine. I'll take the dare." They cheered and high-fived as I stood in front of them, glaring. "Better not be something bad!" I blurted, making them snap out of their cheering. They looked at me with a sinister smirk. The smirk where you know their up to something. Something bad. - Meet Jade Williams. Your average girl in every single way. She uses her weekends to binge watch on Netflix and takes her time binge snacking. In no way she would be considered perfect. Yes, sometimes she is picked on every now and then but nothing to extreme. Well despite the fact she has a crush on the most unexpected person. Bryan Jones, the schools bad-boy. He's basically a emotionless, fit brick dressed up in leather. Just your typical bad boy, right? Her life changes from late nights on Netflix to possibly going out to parties because of two guys. Conner Peterson and Bryan Jones. The most anyone can do to keep her out of trouble is to pray. Not to mention the fact that her two dearest friends are two living and breathing dare making machines. How is Jade going to make it out of her senior year alive? - -January 13th 2017- -January 29th 2017- #14 on Rising Teen Fiction -February 13th 2017- 10K Reads -February 14th 2017- #163 in TF -February 22nd 2017- #136 in TF -January 1st 2018 - 100K READS!

"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. ࣪˖ ִֶָ 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. 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.

Cookie by AlmaaaGgg

Nataly, the innocent looking girl with a sad past, needs to stop grieving and start living again after losing her twin sister. But it's hard to do something like that when all your life you had to share every single experience with someone else. She's a good girl, the kind of girl who doesn't want to get in a fight, doesn't want to draw attention, doesn't fight back even when she's hurt. Liam, the new bad boy in school with quite a temper and some killer punches, just moves in and already has plenty of girls to date. Except he doesn't date. He only has girls that understand and accept that all they will ever have is a one time thing, they will scratch an itch and then move on with their lives. But what happens when handsome Liam meets Nataly who catches his eye? He doesn't do relationships, she never had one, but even so since the first day they met, they can't keep away from each other. People say a boy and a girl can't be friends, because always one of them has feelings for the other. But no one ever says what happens if both of them want more than just friendship, but one wants love, the other just sex. One of them will definitely suffer, because you can't simply change what you truly desire... or can you? ************* *Not a friends with benefits story 😉 No. 1 in #teenagelove No. 1 in #romance

But her new life shatters when she catches the piercing blue eyes of notorious campus playboy, Caspian.

Refusing to believe the school whispers, Holly trudges a little too close for her safety. One slap in a headstrong moment triggers this story of ego and revenge. For Adam, the game has just begun. One drunken night and 10 grand on the line, Adam vows to get Holly to bed in a week to avenge his humiliation. And he knows just how to play his cards.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
