**Book Description:**
Mia Parker has always been laser-focused on one thing: graduating from college with a degree in interior design. As a senior, she's determined to finish strong, pouring every ounce of her energy into her projects, her classes, and building a future she can be proud of. With her eyes set on her career, she's not interested in distractions, especially not from anyone or anything that could steer her off course.
But everything changes when Wesley Parker, the charming quarterback of the college football team, enters her life. With his easy smile, effortless charisma, and a reputation as a heartthrob, Wesley is everything Mia never wanted-and everything she finds herself drawn to. He's confident, persistent, and soon, his attention becomes impossible to ignore.
As the pressure of graduation looms, Mia's carefully curated world starts to shift. The more Wesley tries to get closer, the more Mia struggles with balancing her dreams with the growing feelings she can't deny. Will she let Wesley into her heart, risking everything she's worked for? Or will she stay true to her goals and keep her focus on the future she's built for herself?
In this heartfelt story about ambition, love, and finding balance, Mia must decide whether she can have it all-or if something's got to give.

What I like about you

Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?Complete
