Before She Even Knows by TeaInTheGarden02

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

He is the team's new star point guard, and she is making her own headlines by becoming the youngest co-owner of a professional basketball team. They soon discover that the bright lights are both a blessing and a curse, but it may not be as daunting as it seems with the help of one basketball team, several awkward moments, and the same two people that became best friends years ago.

Phoenix Simpson has never lived a 'normal' life. Being the firstborn of a father who ran a notorious, illegal organisation, a life of crime is all he's ever known. However, after too many close calls, Phoenix made the choice to put his life as a top-level drug dealer behind to prevent any of his brothers getting hurt again, or worse. But it's hard to get a job with a criminal record, a previous spent conviction, and a mountain of pride. By chance, Phoenix meets someone with ties to his time in jail, a period he never talks about. Phoenix doesn't want reminders of his painful past, but Jazz Appiah is giving him a chance that no one else will. A job offer. Eventually Phoenix takes the opportunity, and it is there that he meets dance teacher Ama Asante, a woman who doesn't crumble under his dark gaze or cutting remarks. As frustrating as this is for Phoenix, he finds himself growing feelings for her, and settling into a lifestyle he never thought he'd fit into. That is, until ghosts from his past come back into play and Phoenix must make a big decision. Get back into the game, or let sleeping dogs lie? (c) Jojo B 2022. All Rights Reserved.

Every Saint Needs a Sinner by _merrittking_

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.

Heartless by DukeFan3

Luke Kennard is living his dream. He's an NBA rookie, first-round draft pick. So why does he feel so empty? This story is a companion to Bring Me to Life, Still and I'll Find You. If you have not read Bring Me to Life and Still, this story may be somewhat confusing. It takes place at the same time as I'll Find You. The same disclaimers apply to this as the stories listed above; there is profanity and although not explicit, it is very suggestive. In addition, this book contains some themes that are not present in the other books. There are story lines involving deaths, including the death of a child and there is mention of addiction issues. If any of those things trigger you, please be forewarned and message me if you need more information. Also, the medical conditions and information in this story is largely the product of my overactive imagination. I do not pretend to have actual medical knowledge of any of it (tbqh, I probably saw it on TV at some point and adapted it to whatever fit the story). Also, it should go without saying, but this is a work of fiction.
