CL

A fresh start at Briar University was supposed to be simple. Go to class. Keep your head down. Graduate. Instead, y/n finds herself caught between two best friends who couldn’t be more different. Dean Di Laurentis is charming, confident, and impossible to ignore. Garrett Graham is steady, dependable, and quietly becomes the person she trusts most. What begins as friendship slowly grows into something neither of them expected—and neither of them wants to lose. As feelings deepen and loyalties are tested, the three must decide if love always has to fit the rules… or if sometimes the best endings are the ones no one saw coming. A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, why choose (MFM) college romance filled with banter, hockey, found family, emotional healing, and plenty of yearning.
