When Alana moves back to England and takes a job with a Premier League team, the last thing she's expecting is to be reunited with Garrett - her childhood friend and the star of the team who's suddenly very attractive.

...

Once she's graduated university, Alana Clarke moves back to where she grew up for her first job as the social media manager for Wakefield FC. While the atmosphere initially seems less than ideal, thanks to a mildly annoying boss, things start looking up when she reconnects with one of the players, an old classmate of hers. Alana knows she isn't supposed to date within the club, but things start piling up in her life and this might just be the perfect distraction.

Garrett Bancroft is at a career high. Despite Wakefield's iffy record, he's being scouted by other teams in the Prem - and a few across the globe. Everything is working out perfectly until public attention isn't the only thing he attracts and the club's new hire catches his eye. Although Garrett's performance last season yielded a number of personal records, his mental state was at an all-time low, so a good relationship may be just what he needs.

As stated by the league, club staff are highly discouraged from dating players, but Alana can't seem to avoid Garrett's charm. However, hiding their relationship turns out to be a bigger challenge than expected. As Alana begins to make enemies within the club, gossip is leaked about Garrett, and nobody to back them up, the two worry they might just be getting ahead of themselves. Unless they can get someone in their corner, both of their careers might be in jeopardy. How much is too much to risk for love?

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good
16 parts Complete Mature
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

Years later, she's still trying to come to terms with the fact that her old life is one she'll never get back. Not her ability to write out a sentence or read a good book.

Her second chance at life is becoming more than she imagined and as Hannah gets to know David, she begins to wonder if that second chance at life comes with a second chance at love.

"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name. "Are you sure?" He stares into me. "Promise me you're sure." "I'm sure." I tell him softly. "I promise." ******* ALEXANDRA MONET is a twenty two year old girl, freshly out of college. After landing her dream job working for top fashion designer Adrienne Walker, she moves from a small town in Florida, to the boisterous city of New York. Since before she moved, Alex mapped out a clear plan for the direction of her life. None of which could prepare her for RYAN RUSSO...the snarky, sarcastic boy who she'll soon find herself thinking about constantly. As much as the two think they can't stand each other, there's an underlying attraction that eventually grows too strong for either them to bare. So they make an agreement... An agreement that is supposed to be void of any and all feelings, but over time it becomes a lot harder than expected. It's supposed to mean nothing. Less than nothing, but unfortunately some things just don't go as planned. Warning: Mature scenes and language.
