Love was never the problem. Trust was.
Iris Khan doesn't do second chances.
As a dedicated rugby player and top computer science student, she's built a life that doesn't rely on anyone. Especially not Christian Montas; the relentless, cocky defensive lineman who stole her heart two years ago and let her down just as fast. She thought she was over him. Thought she had buried every last feeling.
She was wrong.
Christian has never stopped wanting Iris.
He's spent years waiting for his shot, and now, in their final year of university, he's not wasting it. This time, he's proving himself in every small way, every single day. But Iris isn't making it easy. She keeps him at arm's length, convinced that letting him back in will only end in heartbreak.
Just when she starts to believe in him again, Christian's past resurfaces, forcing him to confront the one thing he swore he'd never let touch his future. And instead of leaning on Iris, he shuts her out completely.
Now, the walls she had started to tear down are back up; stronger than ever.
If Christian wants to win her back, he has to do more than chase her. He has to fight for her. For them. And Iris? She has to decide if she's willing to take the risk...
Because in both love and (Canadian) football, you only have 3 Chances .

Love & Lust
------------------------------------------------------------ "Do you know how absolutely crazy I am about you? What the thought of another man doing what I do to you, does to me?" I slowly shake my head, my heart swallowing any words I could have. His eyes narrow with an intensity so deep I fear I'm at a loss for thoughts too. "Would you like me to enlighten you?" A smirk upon his lips and I know I'm done for. "Please." ------------------------------------------------------------ Belle Fawn is an innocent adult as innocent as can be these days. All she knows is books over boys as she craves love from her parents who push her hard to be successful. No matter if she wants it or not, which lands her at Grant Incorporate for an internship during her summer vacation from college. This is where she meets the all too attractive; Liam Black who is a demanding, sexual, love deprived soul. He's never had the best history when it comes to love. So he always settles for meaningless sex. Which ultimately lands him in a state of confusion when he finds himself maybe feeling a little more than lust for his new assistant. Will you follow Belle into a journey she might have never dreamed of living? Will you follow Liam into his lustful adventure after his new assistant? And will you stay for their crazy love and lust? As they go through love affairs, heart break, betrayal and maybe some cute puppy's? ------------------------------------------------------------ "They were an illusion and the dis was silent." - Love & Lust official quote.Concluída

I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game.

The Wrong Brother
Eighteen-year-old Iris Howell thought she was living her best life until those two pink lines showed up on the pregnancy test. In a flash, all her future dreams went up in smoke. Ten years later, she's now a single mom to a rambunctious little girl who has become her world. It wasn't easy having to grow up so quickly without the support of her high school sweetheart, but she's doing her best. Dating was the furthest thing on her mind, but her best friend still insisted she sign up for a dating app to see if Mr. Right Now was out there somewhere. Little did she know, one of her first matches would be Monty King, her high school boyfriend's older brother. She can't deny her attraction to him or how he makes her feel, but she knows this is a mess just waiting to happen. Montgomery King may have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but that wasn't the life he wanted to live. He never fit in with the lifestyle his upper-class parents tried to force him into and he never got along with his lazy brother who was more than happy to lazily mooch off the family dollar. He took the first chance he could to join the military and do something better with his life. His years in the military are well done and he's still avoided his family and their money-hungry ways until his company relocates to his hometown. The only good part about the move is reconnecting with Iris Howell, even if she is his brother's ex-girlfriend. Iris isn't looking for a relationship and certainly isn't trying to find herself tied down with another King brother and she has good reason not to. However, Monty is making it his new mission to show her that she was with the wrong brother before.Concluída
