Love is a scorching trail she's afraid to follow...
***
Star Matthews knows what she wants in life: everything that her current one isn't.
She made tough decisions to get to where she is now and the last thing she wants is the beautiful complication that is Julian Wilde, Prescott University's most notorious playboy who just happened to be proving his reputation to her roommate when Star first met him.
Thrown together every day in close proximity, Star fights her distracting attraction to Julian who insists that there's more to her than what she shows the world, and that he wants it, all of it, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the broken.
When her sins come to light, proving she is no bright star after all, will Julian stand by her side or will he walk away before she can burn him heart and soul?

[BOOK 1] What they have is messy, reckless, and impossible to walk away from🦋 ************* Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.Complet
The Professor's Favorite
She's the top student at an elite university-brilliant, disciplined, invisible. He's the youngest professor on campus-charming, untouchable, dangerous. One reckless night. One secret that should've stayed buried. Now, they're trapped in a game of obsession, betrayal, and temptation-where one misstep could ruin them both. Some lines should never be crossed. But what if he's the only one who ever truly saw her? Main Characters: • Elena Vale - 21, scholarship student, focused, with a mysterious past she's trying to outrun. • Dr. Lucien Thorne - 31, charismatic literature professor with a dark history that threatens his career and sanity. Plot Highlights: • They're drawn to each other intellectually first-conversations that sizzle under the surface. • A forbidden kiss during a campus blackout turns into a dangerous liaison. • Elena starts discovering that Lucien is tied to a secret society, and her past might be more connected to his than either of them knew. • Jealous rivals, power plays, and psychological mind games ramp up the stakes. • The relationship becomes a balance of control, passion, and unraveling secrets. • Twists that blur the line between love, obsession, and manipulation. Tropes to use: • Forbidden romance (professor/student) • Age gap • Enemies to lovers (lightly at first) • Slow burn with tension-filled interactions • Dark pasts coming back • Morally gray charactersComplet

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.
