Ava Carter swore off men after a string of terrible exes and one disastrous breakup that ended with juice in a guy's face. She just wanted peace, her degree, and maybe a nap.
But when a dropped wallet leads her to Ettore Graves, who is cold, powerful, and way too attractive for his own good, her quiet life flips upside down. He's everything she shouldn't want... and exactly what she can't stop thinking about. Secrets, sparks, and second chances collide in a game neither of them saw coming. She might've sworn off romance, but fate? Yeah, it clearly has other plans.

Always Been You
Some people grow up with childhood friends. I grew up with Noah Lancaster. Two years without Noah by my side, and I thought I'd changed. I'd grown into my own person, no longer the girl who needed protecting. But stepping into the prestigious halls of St. James proved I was wrong. Surrounded by strangers who make it painfully clear I don't belong to their world, it's all too easy to fall back into old patterns. And Noah... like the constant he's always been, pulls me back into his orbit. Only he's not the same boy I remember. He's sharper now. More calculated. More intense. There's something in him I can't quite name, a quiet shift in the air around him, like the moment before a storm breaks. They say university is where you find yourself. I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of something I couldn't walk away from... or explain to the police.
