Strider Reed has lightning reflexes, a cocky smile, and one big problem: he has one semester to raise his GPA or he's off the baseball team and out of his scholarship. Clara Thomas has perfect grades, a planner with color-coded tabs, and an ex who won't stop showing up.
When Strider steps in to protect Clara, he offers a trade. The deal is simple: she tutors, and he pretends to be her boyfriend. No real feelings. No complications.
But fake dates and late editing sessions lead to stolen glances that start to feel way too real. And when pretending turns into falling, they'll have to decide if the risk is worth the reward.

The Dance We Didn't Choose
They weren't supposed to fall for each other-just make their crushes jealous. But hearts don't follow plans. Angela Chen has spent most of high school blending into the background, unnoticed except by one person: Jason Hecker-the golden boy of her dreams. So when the school fundraiser forces dance pairings, Angela secretly plots to be matched with him. Too bad fate had other plans. Instead of Jason, she ends up with Elijah Diaz-football captain, heartbreaker, and just as crushed as she is. He had planned to dance with Quinn, the cheer captain. Together, the two make a pact to ruin Jason and Quinn's blossoming relationship... but the more time they spend faking sparks, the more real things begin to feel. But this isn't a love story that goes smoothly. Not when the past keeps pulling them back. Not when the people they thought they loved are finally watching. And definitely not when jealousy, secrets, and regrets come crashing down. They never meant to fall for each other. But maybe the best stories are the ones we never choose.Complete

Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Complete
