Darcy Di Laurentis has always known two things: being Dean Di Laurentis's twin means having an entire hockey team watching her back, and falling for their childhood best friend is a very, very bad idea.
Too bad she's already in love with Beau Maxwell.
Beau is Briar University's star football player, Dean's closest childhood friend, and the one person Darcy was never supposed to want. For months, they've been sneaking around campus, stealing kisses, keeping secrets, and trying desperately not to get caught-until Darcy shows up to Beau's biggest game wearing his number seventeen jersey.
But when a weekend getaway takes a terrifying turn, Darcy and Beau's secret relationship becomes the least of their problems. Suddenly, the people Darcy trusts most are pulled into a dangerous mystery filled with buried family secrets, unexpected betrayals, and questions that could change everything they thought they knew.
With Dean, Garrett, Logan, Tucker, Hannah, and Allie refusing to leave her side, Darcy must figure out who she can trust while fighting for the boy she was never supposed to love.
A childhood-best-friends-to-lovers romance filled with secret dating, protective brothers, Briar University chaos, heartbreak, mystery, suspense, and a love that refuses to stay hidden.

Golden Hour
They say opposites attract. Luca never believed that. She'd much rather spend her afternoons identifying rock samples, watching clouds drift across the Iowa sky, or trading insults with her three older brothers than getting involved with Briar University's star quarterback. Beau Maxwell, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of guy she avoids. Confident. Charming. And with a reputation that speaks for itself. When an unlikely friendship begins over sarcastic banter, impossible questions, and a completely unofficial jury of rocks, neither of them expects it to become anything more.

Then she met Dean Di Laurentis, who somehow became the safest part of her day. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Neither was a hockey house that never seemed to sleep, a kitchen that was always occupied, friendships that became family, and a cat who was convinced he ran the place. Between tournaments, late-night kitchen disasters, road trips, and the quiet moments that matter most, Mira discovers that healing isn't something you do alone. Some love stories begin with fireworks. Theirs begins with friendship. And somewhere between laughter, loyalty, and countless ordinary moments, those little moments become everything.

For fifteen years, Cali Rae and Garrett Graham have been inseparable. From scraped knees on the playground to wild nights at Briar University, they've been through everything together. Everyone on campus knows they're a package deal, and everyone knows that if you want a chance with Cali Rae, the most beautiful girl at Briar, you'll have to get past Garrett Graham first. As her best friend, Garrett has always been fiercely protective of Cali. Maybe a little too protective. When Garrett accidentally discovers Cali's private journal, he finds page after page detailing everything she can't stand about guys, along with an impossibly high list of standards for her future boyfriend. Amused, Garrett insists that her expectations are unrealistic and are the reason she can't seem to find the right guy. Determined to prove his point, he offers to become her personal dating coach. The deal is simple: Garrett will help her find the perfect boyfriend by setting her up on dates, giving her advice, and helping her navigate the dating scene. What could possibly go wrong? As Cali begins dating the men Garrett handpicks for her, he quickly discovers that watching her move on with someone else is a lot harder than he expected. Every laugh she shares, every lingering touch, and every promising date sparks a possessive jealousy he can't explain. Suddenly, Garrett finds himself sabotaging the very relationships he encouraged, because the truth is becoming impossible to ignore. He doesn't want Cali to find the perfect guy. He wants to be the only guy she'll ever want. A childhood best friends to lovers romance filled with jealousy, tension, friendship, and the realization that sometimes the love of your life has been right beside you all along.
