He's the golden boy of Blackridge volleyball.
She swore she'd never set foot near the court again.
Malachi Hayes lives for the game. Setter, star, and the face of the Blackridge Mustangs' rebuild, he's supposed to carry the team and never crack under pressure. Sunshine smile, golden energy-he makes it look easy.
Kaia Tanaka would rather hide behind her drum kit. Or her headset in the BRUTV booth. Or anywhere but the spotlight. But when her sharp commentary goes viral, she can't escape the court-or the boy who plays like he's listening just to her.
He's sunshine. She's grumpy. Together they're messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. But the louder their chemistry gets-on court, on air, and online-the harder the world pushes back.
A college sports romance full of found family, late-night diner runs, and a love story worth cheering for.

My Boyfriend's Brother
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Others begin with a lie. Elisa Kai never meant to fall for the golden boy next door. Damien Jackson was everything she wasn't-effortless smile, easy confidence, and the kind of charm that made the whole world orbit around him. Elisa? She was the quiet girl everyone whispered about-the one who stared at the Jacksons' perfect life from her window, convinced she didn't belong in their world. Convinced she didn't belong at all. But then, she crossed a line. And Damien chose her. For a while, it felt like a dream. Like she was finally more than just the rumors. But every fairytale has a shadow. Drake Jackson is that shadow. Damien's younger brother is sharp where Damien is soft, chaotic where he's calm-and he watches Elisa like he knows exactly what she's hiding. He's arrogant. Infuriating. Always one step too close with a smirk that drives her insane. And worse? He never goes away. When Damien leaves for college, everything changes. Drake becomes the new king of the school while Elisa is fighting to make a name for herself in fashion. And what was once teasing turns into something darker. Something magnetic. Then Damien comes back. Now Elisa is caught between the boy who made her feel seen-and the one who never stopped watching. Old sparks reignite. New tensions boil over. What started as a simple love story begins to unravel into something far messier, far more dangerous. Secrets simmer beneath the surface-about the past, about what's real, and about the Jackson brothers themselves. And then...tragedy shatters everything. What follows is heartbreak, silence, and blame. As the rumors grow louder, the whispers get crueler, and her world spins further out of control, Elisa must face one truth: Sometimes, the person who saves you... is also the one who could destroy you. And not every love story survives the truth.

And in that moment, I realized something that I've always known deep down in my heart. I finally understand why my eyes would always cling to him in a room, why my mood would always lighten up whenever he was around, why my world brightened up when I met him- why the sun shined brighter, trees and grass were greener, flowers smelled better. Why he makes my world more beautiful simply by existing in it. It's because I'm in love with him. The type of love that you never knew existed until you finally experience it yourself, the type of love that's hard to put into words because it's a love you've never had for anyone else. And never will. - JAMISON MACK ... And in which, Jamison Mack drunkly kisses his very much in love bestfriend, Hayden Zhang. Shouldn't be much of a problem, they both agree to forget about it. It was a drunken mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. One problem, neither of them can stop thinking about it. What could go wrong? Or in simpler words, a chaotic bisexual pro basketball player who's in love with his playboy footballer bestfriend. highest rankings #1 - interracialbxb #1 - maybesmut #1 - collegebasketball #2 - collegefootball #2 - interracialbxb #3 - lgbtq #3 - interracialbxb #7 - gayromance #13 - interracialbxb
