"You need to know," James says while he pulls on his hoodie, "that I'm not interested in a relationship." He swallows, staring at the wall as if there's something hidden inside of it. He turns back to me, "I just want a friend."  Tara Williams wants to leave. She wants to get out of little Queensland, Alabama. Get away from all the pressure and expectations that fall upon her thanks to her older, more successful siblings. And James Braxton is just the guy to help her with that.

Worth The Risk by dreammcatcher
1 part Complete Mature
Ivy knows it's time to return to her childhood seaside town to battle the demons of her past. Two years away from her friends, family and the beloved sandy beach that holds such a special place in her heart. She knows the visit will be painful but she's ready to find her closure. With wishes to build new memories to mask the old ones, nothing can tear her down anymore. When Ivy pulls up outside the house she grew up in, she's reunited with her older brother, not long before he drops the bomb that his best friend from university will be staying with them for the summer. His friend, JJ, who Ivy soon remembers she had a steamy one-night stand with less than a week ago. It was a night of sambuca shots, laughter and lots of... pleasure. Ivy knows one thing for sure-despite her utter shock and concern for the situation-her brother can never find out. Not if they both want to keep their sanity. But will their attraction for each other get them into trouble? It might be worth the risk. 18+

Jenna Ortega, best friend to Dahlia's roommate, drops by their apartment just before their first spring break of college, asking for a huge favor. She needs someone to accompany her to Hawaii for a week and pretend to be her date at her aunt's wedding. The catch? It's all to put an end to her family's relentless teasing about her being single. There's just one little problem: Dahlia and Jenna can't stand each other. Getting tangled up in a fake relationship is bound to spark chaos-unless, of course, it leads to something neither of them saw coming.

Christmas Crossroads by tayxwriter
10 parts Ongoing
Dahlia is heading home for Christmas for the first time in two years. Much to her disappointment, her brother's best friend, Jade, will be joining her on her 10 hour drive home. Rivals since they were children, the two are going to convince Dahlia's parents that the two are dating, just to get a rise out of them. Dahlia can't stand Jade, but will the time they spend stuck in a car together, change all of that? He was probably right. I think if mom and dad thought we were together, it'd send them off the deep end. Right now, I wanted to give them a giant shove. "Hmm," I narrowed my eyes at him. "You'd fake it with me?" His lips tipped up. "Oh I wouldn't have to fake much with you, doll." Thank you to @ashley_mariex for my beautiful cover.

* under the process of being edited * What Abi Hindley hoped for coming from England to study in the US: a new, composed life in an unknown place with freshly met, new people. What Abi Hindley didn't hope for coming from England to study in the US: driving straight into the tail of some jerk's car and getting herself into a deal she doesn't want to be a part of. What a shame life never comes out the way it is supposed to. One moment of distraction caused Abi's life to make 180 degrees flip and to momentarily stop being nearly as composed as she wished it to. She fought sickness and tried fighting fate which seemed to like turning its odds against her. What she hasn't tried to fight yet was her heart - and she's just about to learn just how much harder this duel is going to be. Because what's going to happen when that one girl who hates love, the girl whose name is the anagram of 'be alone', starts falling in love with the one person she desperately doesn't want to fall in love with? * please note that this is my first published story ever. And you know what they say about first stories, so please don't mind if it gets too shallow *

Lola "Lolo" James has grown up on the sidelines, watching her father coach one of the most elite NFL teams in the country. Her dad's number one rule has always been ironclad: no dating the players. Ever. It's a line Lolo has never been tempted to cross-until now. When Brooks Parker, the star quarterback she tutored in college and secretly crushed on, gets drafted to her father's team, everything changes. Brooks isn't just any player; he's the one Lolo's never been able to forget. The one who made her heart race with every stolen glance and every late-night study session that ended too soon. Now, Brooks is back in her life, wearing the same team colors she's grown up loving and fearing. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and the stakes couldn't be higher. With her father's watchful eyes and the pressures of the NFL, Lolo knows she should keep her distance. But the more time she spends around Brooks, the harder it is to follow the rules. As the season heats up, so does their forbidden attraction. Lolo must decide if she's willing to risk everything-her relationship with her father, her heart, and Brooks' future on the team-for a chance at love that's always felt just out of reach. In a world where loyalty is everything and the game is life, Lolo and Brooks will have to play by their own rules if they want to win the ultimate prize: each other
