Truth or Dare

Everyone knows Kai as the reckless playboy who never takes anything seriously. Charming, rich, and always the life of the party, he’s built a reputation on fleeting hookups and bad decisions—and he has no intention of changing. Until one drunken party game changes everything. When someone dares Kai to kiss the prettiest girl in the room, he walks straight toward Camille—known to everyone as Cami—the quiet, polished law student who looks far too composed to belong at one of his chaotic parties. What’s supposed to be a quick kiss turns into a heated makeout session neither of them can forget. Especially Kai. Behind Cami’s perfect grades and carefully planned future is a secret dream she’s never dared say out loud: she wants to be an author. Raised by her strict aunt and pressured into pursuing law, Cami has spent years hiding the stories she writes in private, convinced the people in her life would never approve of the future she actually wants. But Kai sees something in her no one else does. Soon he’s finding every excuse possible to see her—late-night drives, coffee runs, random visits that somehow always end with him reading her drafts and pushing her to believe in herself. Beneath Kai’s careless reputation is someone who understands her creativity in a way no one ever has, and little by little, he becomes the inspiration behind the stories she’s always been afraid to write. But falling for each other was never part of the plan. As feelings deepen and the pressure of expectations threatens to pull them apart, Kai and Cami must decide whether they’re willing to risk the lives everyone expects of them for a love that feels like the beginning of their real story.

Frozen Feelings

Quinn has spent her entire life fighting for perfection on the ice. As one of the top figure skaters in the country, she’s disciplined, focused, and only weeks away from the biggest competition of her career—until her skating partner suffers a devastating injury that threatens to ruin everything she’s worked for. Her only option? Jacob, the cocky star player of the college hockey team and the last person Quinn would ever want to depend on. Jacob may be infuriating, reckless, and impossible to take seriously, but he’s also the only guy on campus who can actually skate well enough in figure skates to fill in. Forced into relentless practices, early mornings, and far too much time together, the two clash constantly as Quinn struggles to turn a hockey player into a figure skater. But somewhere between sharp banter, accidental touches, and long hours spent learning to trust each other on the ice, hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. Because the closer Quinn and Jacob get, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry building between them—and the terrifying possibility that the person most capable of ruining her routine might also be the one person capable of stealing her heart.

Point Guard

When Brielle becomes the first woman recruited onto an elite all-men’s basketball team, she’s prepared for dirty looks, brutal practices, and having to prove herself every single day. What she isn’t prepared for is Nick. Cocky, infuriating, and convinced her spot on the team is some kind of publicity stunt, Nick makes it clear from day one that he thinks she doesn’t belong. Brielle hates everything about him—his arrogance, his smug attitude, and the way he always knows exactly how to get under her skin. But hatred turns dangerously addictive when arguments become flirting, tension becomes temptation, and late-night practices lead to a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement neither of them can seem to quit. There’s just one problem: relationships between teammates are strictly forbidden. If the team, sponsors, or management find out, everything they’ve worked for could fall apart. But the secrecy only makes it harder to stay away from each other. The risk becomes part of the thrill, and every stolen touch, whispered argument, and hidden moment pushes them closer to disaster. As competition intensifies on and off the court, Brielle and Nick are forced to decide if what they have is only physical—or if somewhere between the rivalry and the rules, they’ve fallen for the one person they were never supposed to want.

Don't fall for me

One drunken kiss. One viral photo. One fake relationship that starts to feel dangerously real. When Whitney ends up kissing billionaire heir Alex at an elite party, she thinks it’s nothing more than a reckless mistake fueled by too much champagne and bad decisions. But when a photo of the kiss explodes online overnight, suddenly the entire internet believes they’re the newest obsession-worthy couple. For Alex, whose family controls a powerful real estate empire, scandal is not an option. His parents demand perfection, discipline, and a spotless public image. Whitney, meanwhile, could use the good publicity after earning a reputation for being a little too chaotic, a little too outspoken, and impossible to control. So they strike a deal: fake the relationship until the attention dies down. What starts as staged dates, forced smiles, and carefully planned appearances quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Whitney brings out the reckless, thrilling side of Alex he’s spent years hiding beneath expensive suits and family expectations, while Alex becomes the one person who sees past Whitney’s wild reputation to the girl underneath. But pretending gets harder when the chemistry between them is all too real. As pressure from Alex’s controlling parents threatens to pull them apart, Alex and Whitney must decide whether their relationship is still just for show—or if somewhere between the fake kisses and stolen moments, they’ve fallen into something neither of them knows how to walk away from.

For the first time in her life, Elle feels free. As their rivalry turns into secret meetings, stolen touches, and a love neither of them can resist, Elle’s parents make one thing painfully clear: Robin is forbidden. They’ll do whatever it takes to keep them apart—even if it means destroying the life Elle has always known. But some loves refuse to be controlled. Caught between family loyalty and the girl who sets her soul on fire, Elle must decide whether protecting her family’s empire is worth losing the only person who has ever made her feel truly alive. And Robin must decide if loving Elle is worth fighting a world determined to tear them apart.

One unforgettable summer. One heartbreak neither of them saw coming. Champion surfer Naomi never expected her whirlwind summer fling with mysterious billionaire Noah to mean anything more than stolen nights, ocean air, and a connection she couldn’t explain. They never shared their last names, their futures, or the truths hiding behind their perfect moments together. And then he left her without looking back. Months later, Naomi arrives at an elite college on a surfing scholarship only to come face-to-face with the boy who shattered her heart.

His parents have already planned out his future: law school, business deals, and a life built on obligation. But what Noah secretly wants is something entirely different. He wants to paint. As old feelings resurface between heated arguments, lingering glances, and late nights together, Naomi becomes the only person who sees the version of Noah hidden beneath the pressure and privilege. And for the first time in his life, Noah begins to wonder if he’s brave enough to choose himself instead of the future chosen for him.

So when an injured player forces the team to bring in a replacement mid-season, the last thing he expects is Mara—a fiercely talented Scottish striker with a sharp mouth, a worse attitude, and enough skill to threaten every guy on the roster. The team calls her a distraction. Asher calls her a nightmare. Mara refuses to back down for anyone, especially not the arrogant captain who seems determined to make her life miserable from the moment she steps onto the field. Their practices become wars filled with insults, tension, and challenges neither of them can resist. But beneath every argument is something far more dangerous simmering between them.

Xavier is soccer’s golden boy—cocky, infuriating, and impossible to avoid. A world-famous player turned billionaire before graduating college, he’s worshipped everywhere he goes, and somehow he knows it.

Their rivalry quickly turns into heated arguments, reckless dares, and tension so sharp it feels dangerous. When one late-night mistake leads to a no-strings-attached arrangement, they convince themselves it’s only physical—just stolen nights, secret hookups, and a way to blow off steam. No feelings. No complications. But the more time Xavier spends with the girl who refuses to fall at his feet, the harder it becomes to keep things casual.
