Allison Holloway promised herself she'd keep her head down during her first semester at Ridgefield College. Between choir rehearsals, late-night study sessions, and holding tight to her childhood friends back home in Pinehill, romance is the last thing on her mind.
Enter Gavin Landry-star basketball player, campus heartthrob, and a friend of a friend's brother. He's charming, persistent, and way too confident for his own good. From the moment they meet, Gavin makes it his mission to break through Allison's walls. But what starts as relentless flirting quickly turns into something much more dangerous: a bet.
Allison swore she'd never fall for a guy like him, and Gavin swore it was only about winning. But when real feelings get tangled in the lies, hearts shatter.
Now, with Allison pulling away and his team on the line, Gavin is left with only one option: prove to her that what they had was more than a game. From late-night confessions to hometown holiday lights, he'll risk everything to win back the one girl he never expected to love.
Because sometimes love isn't about the bet-it's about who's willing to fight for it.

The Trouble With Fake Dating
When Ava Collins discovers her crush and best friend betraying her at a party, her carefully planned college life shatters in an instant. Desperate to salvage her pride and avoid becoming the campus pity case, she makes an impulsive deal with Lucas Bennett, the irresistible golden boy she's spent years avoiding. Their arrangement seems simple: fake date for three months, make Noah jealous, and help Lucas convince his demanding parents he's finally settling down. No real feelings, no messy complications, no broken hearts. But what starts as carefully negotiated pretense quickly ignites into something neither expected. Every stolen glance, every lingering touch, every moment of unexpected vulnerability blurs the lines they promised to maintain. As Lucas's jealous ex and family pressure threaten to tear them apart, Ava and Lucas must navigate the dangerous territory between performance and reality. Because sometimes the most authentic love grows from the most artificial beginnings. And sometimes the hardest part isn't falling for someone, it's admitting that what you thought was fake has become the most real thing in your life. In a world of carefully curated images and social media facades, can two people find something genuine? Or will the trouble with fake dating prove that some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed?Concluida

Worth the Risk
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 :))Concluida
