Brie Sheridan has had her heart broken way too many times. Rhett Price is usually the culprit, but, this time, he might be the solution.
*****
Brooke 'Brie' Sheridan wouldn't necessarily call herself a hopeless romantic; after all, love is everywhere if you choose to look for it, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the beauty and the good in the world. However, her rose-colored lenses are shattered when her boyfriend dumps her right at the start of her final year of college, ruining all her plans for her senior project, and here lie Brie's hopes, dreams, and pieces of her broken heart.
Enter Rhett Price--known commitment-phobe, the bane of Brie's existence, and the reason behind many of her late-night crying sessions during the harshest days of high school. Down on his luck and struggling with improving his reputation, he turns to Brie in a time of need--he'll help her out with her project, and she'll help him look better and more responsible in the eyes of his family.
Old feelings resurface, and it quickly becomes obvious there are certain things you don't always get over. Your first love might as well be one of them.

Teach Me Not to Fall
Eva Graham is a guarded, no-nonsense social science major who studies human behavior to understand why people leave-and how to make sure she never lets the wrong ones in. She keeps to herself, avoids drama, and especially avoids campus athletes, whom she considers walking red flags. Cole Grayson is a third-year psychology major, a cocky ice hockey star with a grin that disarms and a fanbase full of puck bunnies. While everyone sees him coasting, Cole's under constant pressure-trying to go pro, balancing school, and keeping up a charming front to hide just how much he's cracking underneath. When Cole starts slipping in class, he's assigned a tutor: Eva. Neither is thrilled. She thinks he's a loud, lazy distraction. He calls her "Teach" just to get under her skin-she responds by calling him "Skates," with just the right amount of disdain. What begins as bickering soon turns into banter... then something softer. The nicknames stick, becoming a quiet thread that ties them together as friends-and maybe more. Cole falls first. Hard. Eva, scared of being hurt and shaped by people who've left before, fights it. Still, she agrees to go to one of his games-just once. But seeing him on the ice, in his world, adored yet somehow still alone, shifts everything. Then the bet surfaces. A stupid, careless thing made before he really knew her-and it threatens to destroy everything they've built. Surrounded by puck bunnies stirring drama, teammates with their own loyalties, and a past Eva isn't ready to share, the fragile trust between them begins to crack. Between jealousy, late-night confessions, and moments where one look says everything, Eva and Cole must decide: is love worth risking it all-even if it started with a bet, a nickname, and everything going wrong?Complete
