High school senior Lou thought life was simple-stick to the plan, avoid trouble, and never lose focus on the one thing that mattered: his graduation bet with his best friend Charles. If Lou could avoid falling for anyone, especially the mysterious new girl, Shan J, he'd win. Easy, right? But when Shan J walks into his life, everything changes. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and undeniably captivating. The more Lou tries to resist, the deeper he's drawn into her world-one filled with secrets, danger, and a past that refuses to let her go. What starts as innocent coffee dates quickly spirals into late-night escapes and confrontations with menacing figures from Shan's past. With shadows of her father's criminal dealings looming over them, Lou finds himself in over his head, questioning everything he thought he knew about trust, loyalty, and love. Now Lou faces the ultimate gamble: protect Shan and risk losing himself, or walk away and break both their hearts. With enemies closing in, romance heating up, and a bet he can't afford to lose, Lou must decide if love is worth the chaos it brings

Love, Lies and Other Games  by deelightly
3 parts Ongoing Mature
Love, Lies and Other Games (A Lakehurst Academy Novel) At Lakehurst Academy, love is a game, secrets are currency, and reputations can shatter with a single post. Mila has always been the responsible one-the planner, the problem solver, the friend you call when your life is falling apart. But when she discovers that her best friend Ivy has been secretly dating Chase Carter-the golden boy of Lakehurst, Mila's whole entire world tilts. Not because they're dating, but because of who they used to date. Before Ivy and Chase got together, Ivy was with Vanessa, the dramatic queen bee of student council, and Chase was with Liam, his ex-best-friend-turned-rival. Their breakup was messy. Their new relationship? A ticking time bomb about to mess with Mila's future plans. Now, with the school's anonymous gossip app, RunTellThat, closing in on their secret and old flames out for revenge, Mila has no choice but to do what she does best-damage control so she can save her own future. If she doesn't find a way to shift the attention elsewhere, Ivy and Chase's relationship will go public, and with it, all the drama, betrayal, and chaos that comes with rewriting history. The solution? A bigger scandal. Something distracting. Something shocking. Something completely ridiculous. Like maybe... pretending to date Leo Moretti, the school's most insufferable flirt and Mila's personal nemesis. It's a terrible idea. The worst idea. But at Lakehurst Academy, survival means playing the game-whether you want to or not. And when love and lies start to blur, the most dangerous thing of all... is the truth. #enemiestolovers
