Isla Rivera's first week at Westbridge University wasn't supposed to include crashing the wrong meeting, getting recruited to the student paper, or meeting Theo Hale - the dangerously charming editor who talks like every sentence is a dare.

One story turns into another, and soon she's trading sleep for coffee, deadlines, and stolen moments with the boy who's supposed to be off-limits. But Theo's hiding more than just his edits, and the truth could ruin more than their reputations.

Worth the Risk by KateRavenaw

August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))

Nights Like These by _family_show_styles_

After Liam Dunbar was kicked out of his college for getting into a fight, he lands in Beacon Hills college where his best friend, ex girlfriend and bully attends. The odds are undoubtedly against him. But what happens when he meets his new roommate Theo Raeken- who is classed as the school's bad boy, a dangerous guy who was rumored to have murdered his own sister? He instantly detests the indifferent, cocky, notorious guy after a prank (that exposed Liam's past) and all of his leather-jacket wearing friends. Will the two roommates ever connect and see eye to eye? Throw in some (lots of) pranks, angst, adventures, enemies to lovers, teen romance and they just might. -------- Liam shakes his head slightly, done with all of this already. "Do you get off on that? Making people be afraid of you?" Theo raises a brow at him, just a touch. Almost imperceptible but Liam is an observer; he noticed. He cocks his own head to the side. "What do you want me to do, kneel before you? Kiss the ground you walk on?" He spits out and takes a step closer to the guy, "this hasn't made me scared of you Theo, it's made me resent you."

"Gold Chains & Lonely Halls" by G4bby101

At St. Emery's High, where cliques rule and whispers spread faster than wildfire, Isla Deveraux walks the halls in designer shoes, her head held high, and her silence mistaken for pride. With her glossy hair, sparkling accessories, and chauffeur waiting at the gate, most students label her spoiled, sassy, and untouchable. But nobody knows that behind Isla's perfect posture is a girl who eats lunch alone, cries in her massive room, and texts herself just to feel like someone cares. Her "sassiness" is just armor - forged from years of being misunderstood, judged for her money, and excluded before anyone even tried to know her. Everything starts to change when she's paired for a group project with Jayden Cruz, a popular athlete who used to mock her from afar - until he notices the cracks in her shield. As walls begin to fall, so do secrets, and soon, the truth behind Isla's lonely riches is revealed. But at a school obsessed with image, can one misunderstood girl ever rewrite the story others tell about her?

Tangled Hearts | 18+ by RennyTee

[BOOK 1] What they have is messy, reckless, and impossible to walk away from🦋 ************* "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.

The Line Drive by erica_elder

"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper.

The Echoes of Our Hearts by Adi_Mazz92

Some stories bloom in sunshine. This one took root in shadows. For every beginning is not loud. Some slip in quietly-like a secret. Like a glance held a second too long. Like a name you weren't supposed to remember... but did. At Regalia Reynolds Global University, appearances were everything. Beneath the gleaming towers, designer labels, and curated smiles, truths were buried deep-hidden behind last names that weighed like crowns. Prisha Goyal didn't belong to that world. Not by blood. Not by bank balance. She was a girl with a past too heavy for her age, and dreams stitched together by hope and resilience. She wasn't looking to be noticed-not by the elite who ruled the halls with old money and sharper smiles. But life has a habit of unraveling even the most carefully woven plans. The Four Princes didn't need new players in their world. Yet fate introduced her anyway. To most, they were unreachable. To her, they became something else entirely. Enemies. Friends. Confidants. Strangers. And eventually... something far more complicated. As friendships formed in the unlikeliest corners, and laughter echoed through shared dorm kitchens and unspoken pain, the lines began to blur. Loyalties tested through whispered betrayals. Between affection and obsession. Truth and illusion. Trust and betrayal. And somewhere between the stolen glances, cruel misunderstandings, and gentle touches that meant far too much, something deeper began to bloom. Each thread Prisha tugged unraveled another mystery-about her past, about those she called friends, and about the man whose eyes always lingered just a little too long. Because love doesn't arrive in declarations. Sometimes, it creeps in-slowly, silently-until it wraps around your heart like ivy. And when the masks fall, when the truths finally surface, the question remains: Who will still be standing? P.S: It is a slow burn romance
