Emily Harper is used to blending into the background. She's focused, practical, and perfectly content to keep her dreams-like her love of Broadway-quietly tucked away. But when she's assigned as a reluctant study buddy to Lucas Bennet, the school's charming baseball star with a reputation for confidence, her carefully ordered world starts to change in ways she never expected.
Lucas Bennet might seem like he has it all figured out, but under the easy smiles and athletic success, he's struggling to balance the weight of expectations and his own sense of self. When his grades start slipping, he goes to Emily for some help with history.
As study sessions turn into late-night talks and unexpected detours, Emily and Lucas find themselves opening up in ways neither anticipated. Together, they'll learn that there's more to each other-and themselves-than anyone ever imagined.

Lie to me
Olivia Winters is ambitious, creative, and unapologetically herself. As a fashion design student, she has a keen eye for style and a natural talent for sketching women's clothing. She's independent, outspoken, and not easily impressed, which makes her a challenge for anyone trying to get close to her.

While he may seem laid-back on the surface, he's deeply loyal and protective of the people he cares about. ** Olivia and Lucas have a relationship filled with tension, banter, and undeniable chemistry. From the moment they met, sparks flew-sometimes in the form of heated arguments, sometimes in stolen glances that neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Their dynamic is electric, built on playful challenges and moments that gradually chip away at Olivia's walls. Lucas is relentless in his pursuit, but Olivia makes him work for every inch. She challenges him, keeps him on his toes, and refuses to fall for his usual charm. But beneath all the teasing and push-and-pull, there's something real-something neither of them can ignore. Their love story unfolds over the summer, a season of late-night conversations, unexpected moments, and the kind of slow burn that makes every touch, every glance, and every kiss feel like a victory. They may drive each other crazy, but at the end of the day, there's no one else who makes them feel more alive. Started-07/06/24 Ended - 02/21/25Complete
