Liv Carter was always the girl who flew under the radar. With frizzy hair, braces, and a quiet charm, she spent high school in the shadows, watching from afar as the popular crowd-especially Noah Reynolds, the star quarterback-seemed out of reach. Liv's heart secretly ached for Noah, but he was already taken, wrapped up in the arms of the beautiful cheerleader, Savannah.
But college brings change. A new city, new friends, and a newfound confidence that transforms Liv inside and out. After a year of hard work, Liv returns home for Christmas break, almost unrecognizable. Gone are the days of hiding in the background-Liv is stunning, self-assured, and ready to face the world.
Now, Noah can't take his eyes off her. But Liv isn't the same girl who once longed for his attention. As Noah realizes what he's missed, Liv faces a choice: will she embrace this new version of herself and the life she's building, or will she let her past hold her back? Hidden in Plain Sight is a story about transformation, self-love, and the unexpected surprises that come with stepping into your own spotlight.

It's Always Been You
REWRITTEN Fia Romero thought her life was perfectly content - until she met Wes Hamilton, her boyfriend Nate's devilishly handsome dorm mate. While Fia had been blissfully ensconced in a committed three-year relationship, Wes didn't believe in tying himself down. For him, college was a buffet of options to be explored and experienced to the fullest without the constraints of commitment. Their unlikely friendship blossomed from an outrageous proposition - Wes wanted Fia to be his matchmaker and find him a girl worth forsaking his wild ways for. What started as an innocent game between polar opposites soon ignited an undeniable chemistry that neither could ignore, no matter how hard they tried. What started as match-making turned into a fake-dating relationship, leading to confused feelings and room-fulls of tension. With each coy smile, each heated exchange of banter, the lines between reality and reckless desire began to blur. Suddenly, Fia found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, commitment, and the person she believed was her soulmate. A little game of playing Cupid turns into something more and maybe, the person who has always been the one for you was standing right under your nose the whole time.Complete

But thanks to a mix-up at the housing office, her unique name lands her in an unexpected situation: sharing a dorm room with two guys. And not just any guys-Callum, the charming star pitcher of the baseball team, and Griffin, a leather-jacket-wearing bad boy who seems to delight in pushing her buttons. As Noah struggles to navigate her new living situation, she's faced with a decision: demand a transfer and risk upending her fresh start, or stick it out and learn to coexist with her unlikely roommates.

Between the Wish and the Thing
I hate secrets. And I hate drama. But somehow, I stumbled into relationships with two girls, each one hiding something big from me. Bree is beautiful and fit. Captain of the cheerleaders and homecoming queen. She's every guy's dream, every guy but me that is. I didn't really intend to date her, but things just have a way of taking on a life of their own. Then there's Peyton, who drives me crazy. She's a teammate, for God's sake. A football player with a shaved head who disguised herself as a dude to make varsity. She's tough and independent, a smartass with a big chip on her shoulder. But she's more than that--her beauty is wild and untamed. She glows electric, and I'm drawn to that electricity like lightning to a rod. So, I find myself in a bit of a bind--a love triangle with a cheerleader and a football player--and I have a feeling that their secrets just might alter the course of my life forever.![Written on the Ice [LCU On the Ice Book#1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/385660569-256-k54026.jpg)
