You can almost always see Kristen Ayers with her head in a book. If not, then you'd be safe to guess that she's either talking about books or writing her own. Even so, this shy girl finds herself in a reading contest with Drew Konrad, the admired quarterback of the football team. They're competing to see who can read the most books before the end of their senior year. Kris thinks she will easily beat him at this task, but finds she doesn't give him enough credit. Will he beat her? Will they find love? But the true question will be, can they read each other?

Dear Dakota | Academic Rivalry Story
❝There is nothing to be sorry about, Dylans. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything.❞ I crave academic validation. But so does he... It is clear Dakota Reid and Nyla Dylans were close. Outside of school grounds, they were what most would call close friends. Always fooling around and putting up with each other's remarks. All until Nyla moved away from Presley in the sixth grade. She finally got out of Dakota's hair and he could breath a sigh of relief. He didn't realize how fast almost seven years can truly go by until Nyla moves back to the city she was born and raised in. Dakota was always number one... but not for long. Nyla wants Valedictorian just as much as Dakota does. Now the two are tied. Test time is coming up? Good, now who will get the higher grade? Partner projects? No worries, they will never choose each other. They know working together is impossible. There are no words to describe them other than academic rivals. Being next-door neighbors only made their competition stronger. Will Dakota be able to follow in his father's footsteps fast enough or will Nyla beat him to the number one spot? The end of the first semester is approaching faster than one could speak. Which star student will be labeled Valedictorian? Only the two-digit number most would call GPA will let them find out. Oh rivalry. This should be fun. ✰dual point of view ✰can be read as a stand-alone #1 in rivals 11/12/2021Complete

Against the Odds
Jaxon Reid had everything-fame, fortune, and a career as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. But when a devastating injury threatens to end his season-and possibly his career-his entire world comes crashing down. Stubborn and unwilling to accept his fate, Jaxon fights against the medical staff, determined to prove he's not done. Enter Dr. Lillian Carter-fiercely intelligent, unshakably professional, and completely unimpressed by Jaxon's arrogance. As the team's lead physician, it's her job to get him back on his feet, but his resistance and relentless charm make it anything but easy. She sees through his bravado to the man beneath-the one who's terrified of losing the only life he's ever known. What starts as a battle of wills slowly turns into something neither of them saw coming. As Jaxon fights to reclaim his place on the field, he realizes there's something else worth fighting for-Lillian. But with the media circling, team management warning her to keep her distance, and the weight of their own fears standing between them, their connection might not survive the pressure. When the final whistle blows, will Jaxon and Lillian's love be the ultimate victory, or will the game of life tear them apart? Perfect for fans of sports romance, slow-burn tension, and determined heroes who refuse to give up-on their dreams or on love.Complete
