It seems that what goes on beyond the doors of the Talarico East Coast School of Performing Arts, isn't just performance. Allie and Jessica have practically been dancers forever, and their acceptance to a prestigious eastern intensive program is something they see as nothing short of a blessing. But as the summer days wear on, things heat up in more ways than one. After the two hook up one night as part of a game, Allie's rebellious older sister begins to challenge Jessica in ways she never imagined. Allie spends her days searching for love, but may only find it in the most unlikely of places. Relationships form, relationships end, hearts are damaged, and so are friendships. The kids of Tecspa are getting more than they ever bargained for this summer. Will they manage to make it out unscathed?

Checking Her Walls
Sasha Belrose doesn't date hockey players. Not after what happened last time. As the coach's daughter, she's grown up around the rink, watching the game she loves be played by boys she can't trust. She keeps her head down, helps coach the little league, and makes sure her rules stay unbroken. Then Beckett Reid transfers in. Six-foot-something, cocky grin, golden hair, and a habit of finding her in every room. He's reckless on the ice, infuriating off of it, and obsessed with getting past her walls. When her dad forces them to co-coach the little league team, she's trapped in shared space with the one player she swore she'd avoid. And the worst part? Beckett doesn't just get under her skin - he makes her laugh, makes her feel seen, and makes her forget every reason she told herself to stay away. But Sasha knows what happens when she lets someone in. Beckett knows he's not going to stop until she does. And with every practice, every stolen glance, and every rule she's tempted to break, the ice between them gets thinner. And thinner. And thinner...
Princesses and Football Players
Meet the girls at Rogerson's Dance Camp. They all are rich, goody-goody girls that have never broken one rule and don't plan on it anytime soon. They all go to private schools and are on the fast track to becoming lawyers and doctors and neurosurgeons. They're not the ugliest girls, either. Meet the boys at Langlade School District Football Camp. They are middle-class people who could care less about the rules and breaking them.

So what will happen when Ms. Rodgers insists that to jog with the girls, they need to learn some manners, so Coach McDonald suggests that they partner dance? What happens when Ms. Rodgers agrees, sets up the partners, and assigns them a specific dance that they will have to perform at the end of the summer? Will Aubrey, the goodiest of the goodies, and Landon, the biggest jerk and flirt of the football players, be able to dance together or will they decide to keep their distance? What happens when Aubrey might think she's falling in love with him? And what if Landon loves her too?Complete
The Contrast Effect
Dallas Donovan's parents divorced when he was six. His little sister, Tessa, went with their mom, while he stayed with his dad. It wasn't the usual messy, bitter split - quite the opposite. Both parents love their kids and co-parent peacefully. But no matter how much love remains, they can never be the family they once were. And that truth gnaws at Dallas more than he'll ever admit. He hates math with a burning passion but surprisingly loves biology - not that anyone expects the basketball star to enjoy dissecting frogs and memorizing cell structures. Then there's Kiera Davenport. The new girl. She's a walking contradiction - quiet but bold, cold but captivating. She's not a fan of any subject but somehow excels in all of them. On the field, she's Ravenwood High's star football player. Off the field, she posts dance challenges on Instagram, earning thousands of followers - and making boys practically drool. Not that she cares. Their sweet, overly optimistic biology teacher decides to play matchmaker, pairing students to help them "bond." Dallas and Kiera end up stuck together - no surprise, considering the teacher's obvious (and painfully unsubtle) attempts to ship them. The real question is: what does fate has in-store for them? Some stories are written by choice. Others - the unforgettable ones - are written by fate. --- "You're different," I muttered before I could stop myself. She blinked. "What?" I hesitated. "I mean... compared to school. You're-" I gestured vaguely at her oversized T-shirt, the ridiculous F.R.I.E.N.D.S. lyrics on it, her messy bun, the way she just-was. "Different." Something flickered in her gaze, but she just shrugged. "That's what happens when people only see what they want to see," she said simply, turning back to the stove. I didn't have a response for that. .................................... (Editing & Republishing)Complete
Teach Me Not to Fall
Eva Graham is a guarded, no-nonsense social science major who studies human behavior to understand why people leave-and how to make sure she never lets the wrong ones in. She keeps to herself, avoids drama, and especially avoids campus athletes, whom she considers walking red flags. Cole Grayson is a third-year psychology major, a cocky ice hockey star with a grin that disarms and a fanbase full of puck bunnies. While everyone sees him coasting, Cole's under constant pressure-trying to go pro, balancing school, and keeping up a charming front to hide just how much he's cracking underneath. When Cole starts slipping in class, he's assigned a tutor: Eva. Neither is thrilled. She thinks he's a loud, lazy distraction. He calls her "Teach" just to get under her skin-she responds by calling him "Skates," with just the right amount of disdain. What begins as bickering soon turns into banter... then something softer. The nicknames stick, becoming a quiet thread that ties them together as friends-and maybe more. Cole falls first. Hard. Eva, scared of being hurt and shaped by people who've left before, fights it. Still, she agrees to go to one of his games-just once. But seeing him on the ice, in his world, adored yet somehow still alone, shifts everything. Then the bet surfaces. A stupid, careless thing made before he really knew her-and it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Surrounded by puck bunnies stirring drama, teammates with their own loyalties, and a past Eva isn't ready to share, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Between jealousy, late-night confessions, and moments where one look says everything, Eva and Cole must decide: is love worth risking it all-even if it started with a bet, a nickname, and everything going wrong?Complete

WE FEEL THE SAME
During a sun-soaked summer at the Olson-Miller family's beach house, 18-year-old Amelia finds herself looking forward to peaceful days with her sister Elise before college resumes. But everything shifts when Elise's boyfriend, James, announces he's bringing along his best friend-Tristan Jackson, the famously charming quarterback. Tristan expects another typical hangout, but the moment he steps into the beach house and locks eyes with Amelia, something changes. Captivated by her quiet confidence and natural beauty, he feels something unfamiliar-an emotion deeper than attraction, something he's never truly experienced: love at first sight. But Tristan doesn't recognize it yet, confused by the feelings Amelia stirs in him. Amelia, on the other hand, remains unimpressed by his reputation or good looks. She's heard the stories. But as days pass and they spend more time together-bonfires, beach walks, late-night talks-she begins to see a different side of him: thoughtful, vulnerable, and surprisingly sincere. With Elise watching protectively, summer becomes a season of unexpected emotions, inner conflict, and the first stirrings of something real. As Tristan tries to understand the pull he feels toward Amelia, she must decide if she's willing to risk her heart on someone who's still discovering his own. This summer may have started as a break, but for Amelia and Tristan, it could be the beginning of everything.
