Everett Hale is everything Valen swore she'd avoid-loud, reckless, and entirely too confident for his own good. As captain of the university's hockey team, he walks around like he owns the campus. And maybe he does-Everett always gets what he wants. But Valen? She's not interested in being anyone's next win.
Quiet, focused, and fiercely independent, Valen lives for her music, her books, and the comfort of staying out of the spotlight. She'd rather fade into the background than clash with someone like Everett.
But when a twist of fate-and a stubborn professor-forces their worlds to collide, neither of them is prepared for the sparks that follow. He's chaos, she's calm. He's fire, she's ice. And yet, somehow, they can't seem to stay away from each other.
He was supposed to be just another campus jerk.
So why does her heart keep skipping a beat?
A slow-burn romance filled with banter, tension, and the kind of love that breaks down walls, The Campus Jerk is for every reader who believes opposites don't just attract-they collide.

Cruel King | 18+ [ON HOLD]
[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel. New chapters every Wednesday and Sunday. *Big Fat Smooch* Good to see you again, my lovelies.
