Soft Heart, Hard Lines

Twenty-two-year-old college student **Bethany Smith** is the definition of sweet, soft-spoken, and effortlessly adorable. With a nervous stammer and a habit of blushing at the slightest provocation, she is a gentle soul. But beneath her shy demeanor is a body that commands a different kind of attention-a jaw-dropping, thicc, natural hourglass figure that leaves every male on campus turning their heads, much to her intense discomfort.
Enter **Deon Hamilton**. At twenty-six, he is the cold, commanding, and ruthlessly controlling CEO of Hamilton Enterprises. He views Bethany not just as his girlfriend, but as his prize to protect and hide from the world. He hides her curves under heavy coats and dictates her every move. Yet, Bethany stays, hopelessly in love and clinging to the memory of the gentle, heart-melting man he was two years ago, believing she can change him back.
But college is her only escape. When the Maybach drops her off, Bethany steps into a completely different world-one filled with a chaotic, fiercely loyal group of friends. From the bright and mischievous Arianna, to the cool and sunny Annabelle, the protective, 'take-no-shit' Zephyra, and the loud, unapologetic baddie Kayla.
