(Don't mind the cover image, it was generated) Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran never expected to fall for someone after just one concert-but that is exactly what happens when he sees pop singer Mackenzie Brown (Tate McRae) perform live in Boston. There's something about her voice, her energy, and the emotion in her songs that pulls him in. When they finally meet, there's an instant spark neither of them can ignore. But with Jarren in the spotlight and Mackenzie's career taking off, things get complicated fast. When a photo of them leaks online, their relationship is suddenly everyone's business, and they have to figure out if what they have is strong enough to survive the pressure... or if love can be enough this time.

When We Begin Again | Billie Eilish
Aurora Bennett and Billie Eilish met in a Los Angeles dance class at thirteen. they were inseparable ever since-bonding over music, inside jokes, and even their shared crush on Justin Bieber.

At war with her demons, Cassie leaves behind her tragic small town in Oklahoma for New York City to follow her dream as a photographer. But one vulnerable moment in the backseat with a New York City firefighter ignites her world like a backdraft. Taking another chance at love, Cassie plays the part of keeping up appearances as a firefighter's wife. Noe is her perfect match. After all, she loves fire...She really, really loves fire. Can a recovering arsonist keep the fires of her marriage simmering into happily ever after, or will her barely contained addiction once again destroy everything she loves? *** They say complements make the best kind of relationship.

More than lies
Maya Reyes never meant to fake-date a celebrity. She's just the sarcastic, volleyball-playing girl-next-door with a secret passion for music and a tendency to keep people at arm's length. But when her best friend-and rising star athlete-Malakai Ward panics at a charity auction and begs her to win a date with him (to avoid his obsessive ex), she agrees. What starts as a favor spirals into headlines, rumors, and one very inconvenient PR stunt: pretend to be in love. For real. To the world, they're the perfect couple. To their close-knit friend group? Just friends. To Maya? A safe way to bring a fake boyfriend to her ex's wedding without any messy feelings. But as she helps Malakai navigate his anxiety and he pushes her to release music under a secret pseudonym, the lines blur-and faking it gets harder. Then the secrets unravel: her hidden music career, the little sister she's raising in silence, and the grief she never talks about. Malakai falls first. Maya falls harder. And when the truth finally breaks them apart, they'll both have to choose between fear and vulnerability, pride and forgiveness, pretending and something real. Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with a lie.Complete

Behind the Lens, Behind the Plate Sometimes, the clearest picture is the one you never meant to take. Luna Fletcher prefers life behind the camera - quiet, observant, and carefully removed. As a second-year education major with a passion for photography, she captures moments for the Jacksonville University sports teams... but never steps into the spotlight herself. Until one unexpected night at a party, when star pitcher Noah Hollins turns around - and really sees her. Noah is used to pressure - from the roar of the crowd, the memory of a brother gone too soon, and the weight of always performing. But Luna? She's different. Still. Sharp. Unafraid to look past the uniform. And when their worlds quietly collide, what starts as cautious conversation deepens into something magnetic. But Luna carries a past that lingers in the dark - and not all scars are visible. As Noah's arm is sidelined by injury, and Luna's walls begin to crack, the two must navigate more than flirtation: they'll have to decide if love can grow between the broken places... and whether vulnerability can be the bravest kind of power. A slow-burn romance about healing, trust, and the intimacy of being seen, Behind the Lens, Behind the Plate is for anyone who's ever been afraid to hope - and dared to try anyway.Complete
