She was his little sister's best friend. The girl next door. Off-limits... until she wasn't.
He was her first crush. Her first heartbreak. And now-her biggest distraction.
The Dawson and Miller families weren't just neighbors-they were practically one family. Backyard barbecues, family holidays, and sleepovers made them inseparable.They had shared birthdays, dinners, tragedies, laughter-even parenting duties ,always together.
Aria Miller had known Cole Dawson since the day she was born-he was her best friend's older brother, her first love, and the boy who unknowingly broke her heart.
He was charming, protective, and her safe place.
Until he left for college and turned into someone else-cocky, popular, and a full-blown heartbreaker who never looked back.
Now, years later, Aria is walking into her first day of college-and it's his campus. Their parent's perfect plan to keep her and Nora Dawson close to Cole worked... a little too well. Only this time, Aria's not the shy little neighbor girl he used to tease. She's confident. Stunning. And completely unforgettable.
Cole can't believe the transformation.
The girl he's known since birth now turns every head in the hallway-including his.
And the worst part? She doesn't even look at him.
He always saw her as Nora's best friend. A little sister.
But now? He can't stop looking. Can't stop wanting.
As childhood bonds twist into something deeper, Aria must decide: is chasing her old crush worth the heartache? And Cole-will he risk everything by falling for the one girl he was never supposed to touch?
Because sometimes, the person you thought you knew your whole life...
Turns out to be the one you can't stop thinking about.

Ariana Davis is back in New York. College life should be her chance to start fresh, but there's one problem-Quinn Ryans. The same Quinn who made her life a living nightmare throughout high school. The school's golden quarterback. The guy who always seemed to take pleasure in making her suffer. Now, years later, he's even more irresistible than before. Hot, confident, and with a reputation that has every girl at school swooning. But Ariana isn't fooled by the charm or the popularity. Not after everything he's done to her. Still, despite her best efforts to keep him at arm's length, there's an undeniable pull-one she can't ignore. He makes her feel things she thought she'd buried long ago. Things that stir up her anger, confusion, and-maybe-something else. Can she trust herself around him? Are these feelings real or just leftover resentment? And what happens when she realizes that maybe, just maybe, Quinn might not be the enemy she's always believed him to be? One thing's for sure: Ariana's not ready for the storm Quinn Ryans is about to bring into her life again. --- "Quinn? Quinn Ryans? The same Quinn who gave me a lollipop his baby cousin had thrown up on and me being ignorant happily licked it? The same Quinn who tied my shoelaces together and made me fall flat on my face? The same Quinn who pushed me into muddy waters with my white dress on awards day? The same Quinn who took the note I wrote confessing my feelings to my crush and read it to the whole school on the intercom? The same Quinn who dressed up as a scary beast and jumpscared me at night when I was five?" ...And it just got worse. -----Complete

Beside
''Tell me how it feels,'' he says. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. ππ πππ‘π‘π¨ πππ§π¨π© ππ πππ‘π‘π¨ πππ§πππ§ ππ πππ‘π‘π¨ ππ‘π‘ π€π«ππ§ πππππ£ STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright Β© 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
