    ||Coach's daughter. Off-limits. Sharp. Quick. Untouchable. And somehow the most magnetic thing I'd seen since stepping foot in Alabama. She was exactly my type. And the worst part? I didn't even know I had a type until right now.|| •••• BOOK ONE OF A TWO BOOK SERIES - BOOK TWO DROPPING NOW Scout Quinn never planned to fall for Roman Tate. In fact, when Alabama's cocky transfer quarterback showed up, she couldn't stand him. He was arrogant, infuriating-and off-limits as her father's star player. She's thrown into his orbit when she starts working for the ops team under the offensive coordinator, coach Renyolds. Her walls are tall, but if anyone likes a challenge, it's Roman Tate. The season has a way of stripping down the walls she's built from years of grief, starvation, and fear. What started as sharp arguments and late-night confessions turned into stolen moments and a connection Scout never saw coming. Now, with the Tide chasing a national championship and the cameras closing in, Romans mask is slipping-and Scout has to decide if she's willing to risk everything for the man behind it. ••Strong mentions of EDs + drunk driving••

    Some people don't leave your life. They just... stay quieter. Ava learned how to live without him. Without the chaos. Without the late nights, the almosts, and everything that never quite felt like enough. She was fine. Until she wasn't. Because seeing Josh again didn't feel like closure. It felt like something unfinished. One night turned into something dangerous - stolen looks, lingering touches, crossed lines, and a pull neither of them could ignore. Josh knows he doesn't deserve another chance. Ava knows she shouldn't give him one. But the problem isn't whether she still wants him. It's that she remembers exactly how it feels to be close to him... and how quickly she loses herself when she is. And this time- if she lets him back in, she might not walk away again.

    ᴀꜱʜᴡɪɴ × ᴋᴀɪʀᴀ Kaira Sharma never stays quiet. Not when she's wrong. Not when she's right. And definitely not when someone decides to embarrass her in front of an entire class. Especially not when that someone is Ashwin Malhotra. Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. The boy who doesn't laugh. The boy who doesn't lose. The boy who decides, in the very first moment, that she's a distraction. And Kaira? She decides he's a problem. What starts as a simple classroom correction turns into a war-of words, of egos, of stolen glances and unspoken tension. From debate stages to late-night study sessions, from sharp insults to moments that feel a little too quiet... a line begins to blur. Because enemies don't notice each other this much. Enemies don't remember the way the other smiles. Enemies don't care. Right? But when they're forced to work together... when distance becomes impossible... when silence starts to mean more than words- They realize something dangerous. Maybe this was never just hate. Maybe it was something worse. Something neither of them knows how to handle. Something that refuses to stay buried. - Read chapter know more ^ω^ And a story where falling in love was never part of the plan.

    ╭─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───╮ His Tara Not a soft love story- and never meant to be. It begins with irritation, with arguments that go a little too far, and silences that stay longer than they should. Tara doesn't step back. Adhvik doesn't give in. ⋆。°✩ But somewhere between ego and unspoken tension, things start shifting. What begins as resistance slowly turns into something harder to ignore- a pull they don't understand, reactions they can't control, and emotions that don't come easy to either of them. ⋆。°✩ There are pasts they don't talk about. Feelings they don't admit. And moments that change more than they should. This isn't simple. It's not gentle. It's messy, consuming, and intense- the kind of story where love doesn't come quietly... it builds, breaks, and stays. ╰─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───╯
