When my Christmas plans go up in flames, the last thing I expect is Luke Covey to sweep in and save the day. Spending the holiday with him and his mom might make this my favorite Christmas I've ever had. Too bad for me, there's one unexpected gift that's going to last long past the holiday season. Ready or not, Luke and I are going to be parents.

My future is a big "what if" at the moment and I'm fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it's a great way to make some extra money. It's impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There's a big problem though. I'm eighteen. He's thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn't part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

I never thought I'd find myself craving the small-town life, but I've grown to hate LA and all that comes with it. When I get canceled after a celebrity interview goes terribly wrong, I put my life in the City of Angels on hold and hide out in Parkerville, Maine. My sister has made the small town her home, and my assistant lives there, too. So it seems like the most logical place to go. Until my assistant suggests I move in with her dad. Her very hot, rugged dad.

Auf dem Campus gilt Teddy McCallister als Frauenheld. Die meisten Mädchen träumen davon, die Eine zu sein, doch Typen wie er setzen niemals auf eine feste Beziehung. Als mein Stipendium gestrichen wird und ich kurz davor stehe, ohne College Abschluss dazustehen, macht Teddy mir ein verlockendes Angebot: Ich werde seine Fake-Freundin bis zum Abschluss, damit er sein Erbe antreten kann. Es klingt perfekt - ich brauche das Geld, und er braucht jemanden, der ihm ein gutes Image verleiht. Doch je mehr Zeit wir miteinander verbringen, desto mehr verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Fake und Realität.

Jude ist für mich ein absolutes No-Go - schließlich ist er der beste Freund meines großen Bruders. Und das passt mir eigentlich ganz gut, denn ich habe kein Interesse an ihm... oder so dachte ich zumindest. Doch als wir plötzlich auf dem Campus zusammen wohnen, öffnet sich eine ganz neue Welt. Ich entdecke Seiten an Jude, die andere nie zu sehen bekommen - und je mehr Zeit wir miteinander verbringen, desto weniger kann ich meine aufkeimenden Gefühle ignorieren.

Mein ganzes Leben lang war ich für meine Eltern nichts als eine Enttäuschung. Ich weiß, dass ich niemals ihren Maßstab an Perfektion erreichen werde, vor allem, da ich kurz davor stehe, die gleiche Prüfung zum zweiten Mal zu verhauen. Es scheint, als wäre ich zum Scheitern verurteilt, bis mein Professor mir von einem perfekten Nachhilfelehrer erzählt. Cree Madison ist der Starspieler des Hockeyteams und auf dem besten Weg zur NHL-Superstar-Karriere. Er ist meine letzte Hoffnung, die Prüfung zu bestehen und ich bin bereit, fast alles zu tun, um seine Hilfe zu bekommen.

Nach meinem Wechsel zur Aldridge University kannte ich hier niemanden - und die Regeln waren klar: Keine Dates mit Basketballspielern. Als ich zustimmte, Cole Anderson als Mitbewohner zu haben, ahnte ich nicht, dass er einer der Starspieler meines Vaters war. Doch Cole ist anders. Er hat diese magnetische Ausstrahlung, die mich unwiderstehlich fasziniert, und je mehr Zeit wir miteinander verbringen, desto weniger kann ich mich seinem Charme entziehen. Doch wenn Cole herausfindet, dass ich die Tochter des Trainers bin, droht alles zu zerbrechen ...

Off-limits. That’s what Jude is to me. My older brother doesn’t trust me with his player of a best friend, which is totally fine, because I’m not interested. As Jude and I reluctantly become friends, I start to see that there’s more to him than others notice. But I still won’t go there, not when I have a crush on someone else. But Jude’s the perfect person to help show me the ropes when it comes to the opposite sex, besides it’s not like he’ll get attached to me. Except he does. And the thing about broken boys? They’re way too easy to fall for.

It took me a while to learn that sometimes no matter how much–or how hard–you love someone, or something, you have to let them go. You can’t save a sinking ship. Sometimes, you have someone else you have to be strong for, who needs you more. You make a choice; a devastating one. And you hope, maybe one day, they’ll come back to you.

I’ve been nothing but a failure to my parents my entire life. I know I’ll never live up to their level of perfection, but it doesn’t matter. Especially when I’m about to fail the same class twice. It seems like I’m doomed until my professor tells me he knows the perfect guy to tutor me—if he’ll agree.

I've heard the whispers on campus of what a player Teddy McCallister is. Most girls on campus are vying to be the one, but guys like him don't settle down. When he overhears that my tuition has been pulled and I'm going to basically be a college reject, he makes me an offer I can't refuse: be his fake girlfriend until graduation so he can get his inheritance. It seems simple enough.

Mascen Wade, star pitcher of the Aldridge University baseball team, is a lot of things. Rich. Hotter than sin. The campus’ reigning bad boy. We knew each other once upon a time, but even if I’m named after a princess, it doesn’t mean my life is a fairy tale. My plan is to keep my head down, get my degree, and leave this town. But the moment Mascen Wade recognizes me, all my carefully laid plans come crumbling down. He’s decided he wants to make my life a living hell, but I’m not so easy to push around.

Dandelion Meadows is cursed. Horrible name. Horrible luck. At 18, she should be headed off to college, all smiles and naivety. Instead, a victim of a school shooting, she’s starting her senior year in a new city and living with her brother. Nightmares of that terrible day haunt her, affecting her daily life and the relationships around her. Forced to meet with the school counselor, Dani finds him chipping away at the walls she’s built around herself, and even her heart.

When I agreed to be his roommate, I had no way of knowing that Cole Anderson was one of my father’s star players. Having transferred to Aldridge University for my junior year, I wasn’t familiar with anyone on campus. If there’s one rule I’ve always been supposed to follow, it’s don’t date a basketball player. Cole is different, though, and I don’t want to stay away. But when he finds out I’m the coach’s daughter, I might not have any say in the matter.

When I put the ad in my university’s newspaper for a roommate, the last thing I ever expect is for the star football player to respond. From what I know of him, Abel Russo is a womanizer and an absolute jerk. Sadly, he’s the only thing stopping me from being evicted by my annoyingly gleeful landlord.

Together Maddox and Emma embark on an unforgettable summer of adventures and first love. Everything is perfect...or so Emma thinks. There are things she doesn't know, and when she finds out the truth it might shatter everything she's built with Maddox. No one said love was easy, and for Maddox and Emma it just might be impossible.

Bennett James has built his career at being the best, on and off the ice, and now it's come back to bite him. The media has turned against him, and with a near career-ending injury, he needs to clean up his act and prove that he's serious about the game. For Bennett, working with his old coach at his alma mater feels like a step back, but it might be just what he needs. Grace Wentworth has always been the good girl, and she's tired of that stigma. She wants to prove that she can get down and dirty with the best of them. The problem? She doesn't know how.

Mascen Wade, der strahlende Star-Pitcher des Baseballteams der Aldridge University, ist vieles: wohlhabend, unwiderstehlich und der Inbegriff des Bad Boys.

Als Mascen Wade mich eines Tages erkennt, ist es vorbei mit meinem Plan. Denn er hat sich vorgenommen, mein Leben auf den Kopf zu stellen und mir das Leben zur Hölle zu machen.

Once upon a time, Daire Hendricks was my childhood crush. He was always there, saving me from his annoying brothers. He was my rock, my safe place from my overbearing family. Until he wasn't. Imagine my annoyance when we end up at the same university, and I have to see his smug, too-handsome-for-his-own-good face all over campus. Every time we cross paths, we spew hateful words at each other, so imagine my surprise when he seeks me out and utters the most surprising question. "Marry me?"

After my parents passed away, I learned nothing is forever. Not the fame my band is gaining or the girl I might be falling for despite our no-strings relationship.

Kira gets pregnant, and if I don't get my life together, I'll lose way more than I ever bargained for.
