NOT COMPLETE YET - ON A BREAK
Emery James came to Southeastern State University to rebuild-her swimming career, her confidence, and maybe even herself. But summer training is lonely, the dorm is quiet, and the weight of her ruined senior year still lingers like chlorine in her lungs.
Wes Callahan has everything riding on his arm. The freshman quarterback is under pressure to perform, lead, and stay focused. Romance isn't on the playbook-until a quiet girl with a determined stare starts crossing his path in the shared halls of Spark Performance Center.
When a late summer bonfire draws them together, the chemistry is impossible to ignore. Between early lifts, whispered secrets, and stolen glances, Emery and Wes find themselves navigating the unexpected highs and terrifying lows of first love under the Friday night lights-and far from home.
But Emery's past won't stay buried, and Wes is one hit away from the spotlight or the bench. Can two freshmen with everything to prove learn to trust each other before the season-and their hearts-slip away?
A slow-burn college sports romance full of aching tension, real vulnerability, and moments that will leave you breathless.

Flowers for Football
(This was my very first story so I can acknowledge that there are some really cringy parts-aka I will be rewriting/revising very soon!) Asher King's life has revolved around putting up an involuntary mask to hide his true self. With successful parents boasting about his 'pretend' success, Asher feels as though the life he is living was never his to begin with, and a home of happiness is far out of reach. While the luxurious life is envied by most, Asher is only followed by social anxiety and suffocation in a life he doesn't want. The only place where he feels like he can genuinely escape is the little flower shop down the street, where he doesn't expect to find the school's star football player. Leo Gaines is Greenville's golden boy who is destined for success in the NFL. One would think that Leo would do anything to keep a squeaky clean reputation, but Leo would do anything to live a life for himself. Everyone seems to love the confidence he oozes but the subtle respect he always values. However, one thing doesn't fit the agenda: he is still coming to terms with his bisexuality. After multiple encounters with the mysterious boy from the flower shop he works at, Leo soon realizes that he can't help falling for the flower boy. Can Leo find the relationship of his dreams while trying to find a future in a world that exudes masculinity? Will Asher finally find authenticity that will break him free from the marionette puppet he is staged to play? Find out in "Flowers for Football."Complete

It Started With A Concussion ✔️
Emery Ashford had a smart mouth. She was known for it. As an outgoing teenager Emery was always hanging out with friends and with a lack of filter she always said what was on her mind. Especially if it had to do with that irritative jock. She hated him with every fiber in her body. She hated his charming nature, his arrogance, his lack of care, and the way he got on her nerves. But the thing she hated most, although she'd never admit it, is that she would stick up for him. Not like he ever needed it. She wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But it's completely impossible. He lived right across the street. Everything about senior year had been going smoothly until, Bang. Jackson Riley had a pretty mouth. Pretty face too. As the school's football captain he's always been the talk. For years he's been entertained by the smartass that is Emery Ashford. She was a pain in his ass, but he knew he'd be bored without her. When he ends up giving Emery another concussion, he's determined to make the last two months of her senior year hell. That's if he hasn't been doing that already. There's only one thing in his way. Concussion or not Emery isn't going down without a fight. It seems the more she doesn't want him around, the more he happens to be. She thinks her life is spiraling into the ground...but maybe she has it all wrong. With an offer she can't refuse and a heat of the moment bet, it's time for the both of them to realize that there's a thin line between love and hate. And with an injury like this, that line is surely to blur. #1 in annoying [12/30/22] #1 in brothersbestfriend [1/6/23] #1 in hate [1/15/23] #1 in teens [1/28/23] #1 in tension [3/18/23] #1 in summer [5/8/23] #1 in player [5/13/23] Started [Oct 2022] Finished [May 2023]Complete
Dive
SOPHIE BROOKS: Party, hook-up, hangover, repeat. I don't do rules, responsibility, or monogamy. So when the chance to sleep with the hottest Olympian swimmer in the country presents itself, you can be damn sure I take it. And sneak out before he wakes up the next morning. This has been my way of life for years, and nothing has challenged it. Until him. Charming, ambitious, he draws me in and then refuses to leave. He's persistent, annoyingly so, keeps coming back like a damn boomerang. And he's getting a little too close, asking a little too many questions. Questions I refuse to answer. Some things are just supposed to stay forgotten. JAYDEN SENNELS: Swimming is my life. I basically breathe water. Growing up the way I did, going to the Olympics seemed like an unattainable dream. But here I am, just fresh out of my first games, and I messed up. Big time. Everything was riding on me doing well. Failing wasn't an option. Now I have one last year at college to redeem myself. Enter her. Tall, confident, she seduces me, refuses to tell me her name, and has me waking up to an empty bed. She is an enigma, and there is most definitely something she's not telling me. From the moment I saw her, I knew. This woman is trouble in high heels. She will destroy me. And I am going to love it. 🏊♂️ WARNING: Strong language and sexual content.

Sprint
Book #4 in the Medley Series ARCHER SALISBURY: We're in the last sprint before the Olympics, and my spot on the Medley team is hanging by a thread. I don't have time for distractions... or competition. But I get both in the form of an aggravating new roommate and annoyingly talented teammate: Leroy James. With my parents breathing down my neck and my team taking a liking to Leroy, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. And to top it all off, Leroy is devastatingly handsome and completely unavailable-keeping my eyes to myself has never been more crucial. Or impossible. He's the rival I never wanted and the person I crave more each day but can never have. This year is going to be hell. LEROY JAMES: Changing city, college, and team a year before the Olympics is less than ideal. Also not ideal? Sharing a dorm with a deviously attractive swimmer with a mean streak. Archer Salisbury hates me on sight. He's rich, ruthless in the pool, and has a girlfriend for every day of the week. Between caring for my father and trying to swim myself into a spot on Team USA before it's too late, I don't have time for this new rivalry, but winding him up is too easy and too much fun. Archer is intent on making my life more miserable than it already is, and yet I can't help craving a taste. He's the forbidden fruit; I only want to corrupt him. I'll be going straight to hell.Complete
