Rain Weber knows cars.
Not cocktail parties, designer suits, or the ruthless undercurrent of wealth and power. But when she earns a spot at Oakwood, an elite university, to work on their Formula SAE team, she's thrust into the world of a British aristocrat who's too smart for his own good.
Arrogant, brilliant, and dangerously magnetic, Weston Reed isn't just a student. He's a strategist. He's the kind of man who gets under your skin and stays there. For every cutting remark West delivers, Rain fires back, and soon, their dynamic turns into an undeniable connection. In a whirlwind of ambition, sin, and the pursuit of perfection, Rain must decide.
Can love truly exist in a world built on envy? Or will it destroy them both?

Breaking the ice
Book one in the Westbridge U series Eighteen-year-old Grace Carter has spent her life hiding from the truth of her broken home, enduring the cruelty of an alcoholic father in the small town of Willow Springs, Texas. Her only escapes are the books she reads and the cheerleading routines she uses to mask the scars of her reality. All she wants is a way out, a chance to live her life on her own terms. Enter Jaxon Reed-the charismatic, cocky captain of Westbridge University's hockey team. At 18, he's already a hockey prodigy, and everyone knows it. He's got everything-looks, talent, and the confidence that comes with it. But underneath the bravado, Jaxon carries a past that haunts him, one he's not ready to confront. When they're paired together for an English project, neither Grace nor Jaxon is thrilled. Grace sees Jaxon as just another entitled athlete, while Jaxon thinks Grace is too distant to care about. But as they spend more time together, something unexpected happens. Jaxon begins to notice Grace's hidden pain, the way she flinches at loud noises and keeps people at arm's length. Grace, in turn, starts to see the cracks in Jaxon's perfect exterior-his reliance on hockey as an escape from a past that refuses to let him go. What begins as forced proximity soon becomes something neither of them saw coming-an undeniable connection that neither of them is prepared for. As their secrets unravel, they'll discover that sometimes, the most broken people are the ones who heal each other.Complete
Love And Other Disasters | ✓
She was grieving. He was gorgeous. The rest? A disaster. Hayley Brooks wasn't doing well. After losing her long-time lover in a tragic accident, she's spent the last few years drowning in guilt, grief, and ghosted therapy appointments. Love? Not even on her radar. But one night in LA changes everything. Thanks to one too many drinks-and a wildly persuasive best friend-Hayley wakes up in a Vegas hotel next to a total stranger. A ridiculously attractive, devastatingly charming stranger named West. It should've been a one-night mistake. Until it wasn't. As Hayley starts to fall for the man who's helping her feel something again, she discovers a gut-wrenching truth: West isn't just part of her healing-he's the reason she needed it in the first place. She has to choose between walking away from the only person who's made her feel alive again... or staying and unraveling everything she thought she knew about love, loss, and forgiveness. This is the story of a guarded girl who's tired of believing in happy endings, and a man who just might ruin her all over again. But he's not her knight-in-shining-whatever... or so she thinks.Complete

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
