The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat. I’m no white knight. I’m broke. He’s rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out. I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply. One might call this a lucky break, only I don’t feel so lucky with a drug dealer breathing down my neck, and a gangster threatening to burn my house down.

Nineteen-year-old hockey phenom Alexander Price is the youngest-ever captain in the NHL. With a polarizing social media presence and a predilection for dirty play, he typifies the stereotype of young, out-of-control athlete. But away from the cameras, Alex is a kid with an anxiety disorder and the expectations of an expansion franchise on his shoulders. And maybe he tries too hard to fit the part of asshole playboy, but it's better than the alternative; in his line of work, gay is the punchline of an insult, not something he can be.

Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it’s a lie. We also know the rules are simple. For me, don’t sleep with the subject of your articles. For him, don’t sleep with the journalist who can make or break your career.

I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he's messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he's everything I've always wanted to be? With my reputation on the line, I can't let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know—people we both go to school with. When he swears he didn't know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I'm good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he's not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

The first time I laid eyes on Amir Vasquez, he held me hostage in my dorm. I swore to myself my second year at Savage U would be different from the last. No more hiding from things that go bump in the night. I’m dating now. Making friends. Living my life. But then someone starts leaving me notes and whispering my name in the dark, scaring me right back into my shell.

I’ve been friends with Cooper Rice from the moment we met. He was just as famous a decade ago on our college campus as he is now being the star quarterback for the Chicago Grizzlies. But he’s not only talented on the field, he’s also the gorgeous football star women fawn over, posing in underwear and razor ads. Here’s a secret those women don’t know—Cooper Rice isn’t a playboy. He’s the kind of man who wants to settle down with a family. He’s content ordering pizza and massaging my feet after my long shift as an emergency room doctor. He listens to me.

I've always been the feisty sidekick who's up for anything. So, after I'm trapped in an elevator with the gorgeous grump Blake Wilder, Mr. Hockey himself, I'm willing to listen to his scheme. Turns out the grouchy goalie needs a fake fiancée to earn his inheritance. I'm not real girlfriend material (my ex was clear about that), but I agree to help him out with the temporary farce. But only if I can keep seeing the sexy fireman, Aidan, who rescued us from the elevator. Oh, and my billionaire ex-boss, Simon—the one I shared a steamy kiss with just before I quit. Talk about hot.

Never in my life did I think I’d wager in my head whether to sleep with Chicago Grizzlies wide receiver, Damon Siska. He’s the perfect package—hot body, killer smile, and flirts like he earned a doctorate in it. But anyone who reads gossip blogs knows he is looking for one amazing night and nothing more. I’m not the usual type of woman he beds. I’m a middle school teacher who cherishes her quiet nights in, drinking wine, and watching romantic comedies, dreaming I’m the heroine. I’m not embarrassed to admit—I want the fairy tale.

Football has always been Cam Hartson's life. When he's forced to retire following an injury, he slinks back to his small home town, planning to lie low and lick his wounds. Until he meets Mia Devlin. The beautiful single mom of two tearaway boys has no interest in love. She's too busy trying to find a job and keep a roof over her family's heads to worry about relationships. Even if every time Cam looks at her it sends her heart into a spin. She knows she shouldn't like him. He's too ambitious, too confident. But when he offers to be her rebound guy, she finds herself agreeing.

As the headline-stealing captain of the Houston Hell Hounds, nineteen-year-old Alexander Price has one goal: the Stanley Cup. He's got the talent. He's got the drive. But he's also got an anxiety disorder and his therapist on speed dial. And, oh yeah, he's gay. And he's not willing to hide it anymore.

Seraphina…that’s a big name. The first time I laid eyes on Julien Umbra, he made me cry. That makes him sound mean, but grumpy would be more of an apt description. Besides, I always cry when I’m drunk. Hate is a strong, strong word. I’m back for another semester at Savage U, nursing a bruised heart and shattered ego. That’s what happens when your ex cheats and everyone knows. Worse than that, the girl my ex told me not to worry about and then banged is vying for the one thing I want: drum captain of the marching band.

How did the hottest hockey player in the NHL wind up braiding hair and hosting tea parties? Because someone was foolish enough to name him co-guardian of their children. That's how. Cole Montgomery's living his best life—until he gets a call from an attorney letting him know he's been entrusted with the care of two little girls. He can't imagine why anyone would think he was a good role model. He can't even keep a plant alive.

Seit ihrer ersten Begegnung vor über zehn Jahren auf dem College-Campus sind Ellery und Cooper befreundet. Inzwischen ist Ellery eine hervorragende Notärztin geworden und Cooper der neue Star-Quarterback der Chicago Grizzlies, der auch abseits des Spielfelds vor allem bei den Frauen sehr beliebt ist. Während er auf riesigen Plakaten überall in der Stadt freizügig für Unterwäsche Werbung macht, vermutet niemand, dass Cooper entgegen seines Image gar kein Playboy sein will. Im Gegenteil: Er wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als endlich sesshaft zu werden und eine Familie zu gründen.

Sie liebt ihn, und gleichzeitig hasst sie ihn – Miles Cavanaugh, der beste Safety der NFL. Erst als er im letzten Jahr von den San Francisco Kingsmen zu den Chicago Grizzlies wechselte, konnte Bryce endlich mal wieder aufatmen. Doch wie naiv war sie gewesen, zu glauben, dass sich ihre Wege nie wieder kreuzen würden. Denn nur wenige Monate später wird der talentierten Journalistin Bryce ihr Traumjob angeboten von einer renommierten Zeitschrift mit Sitz in – na klar, Chicago.

Nie im Leben hätte Adeline damit gerechnet, dass sie eines Tages mit dem berühmten Wide Receiver der Chicago Grizzlies, Damon Siska, im Bett landen würde. Dabei ist er geradezu der perfekte Traummann: Er ist heiß, hat ein umwerfendes Lächeln und flirtet, als hätte er einen Doktortitel darin. Frisch aus einer langjährigen Beziehung und mit entsprechender Delle in ihrem Selbstwertgefühl gibt sie der Versuchung nach, Walk of Shame am nächsten Tag inklusive.

Elli wagt einen Neuanfang und lässt dank eines Stipendiums für das Miravalle Memorial College in Florida das düsterste Kapitel ihres Lebens hinter sich. Riven lebt in einer ganz anderen Welt als sie, ist reich, privilegiert und selbstgerecht. Doch sein Blick sieht mehr, als Elli zeigen will. Je näher sie ihm kommt, desto mehr gerät ihre Welt ins Wanken. Riven trägt eigene Narben, die von tiefem Schmerz gezeichnet sind.
