    Off Limits - Dean Di Laurentis

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve been “Garrett Graham’s little sister”—the girl tagging along to hockey games, stealing fries from the team bus, and crushing on the one guy I could never have. Dean Di Laurentis. Star defenseman. Campus heartthrob. My brother’s best friend Now we’re at the same university, and somehow the cocky hockey player I idolized years ago is the only person who sees me as more than someone’s kid sister. What starts as late-night study sessions and stolen coffee runs quickly turns into lingering touches, secret kisses, and a relationship we have to hide from the one person who can never find out. But secrets don’t stay buried forever—especially on a college campus where rumors spread faster than slap shots. When the truth finally comes out, Dean will have to choose between the brother who’s had his back for years… or the girl who’s stolen his heart.

    The Rule We Broke - Beau Maxwell

    Some crushes are meant to stay exactly that. At least, that’s what I’ve spent the last year telling myself. When I first started at Briar University, I expected to spend most of my time dodging my overprotective older brother, Dean Di Laurentis, start defenseman of the hockey team. I didn’t expect to meet his best friend, the one person completely off-limits. Beau Maxwell. Star quarterback. Campus golden boy. My brother’s ride-or-die since freshman year, when they discovered they shared the exact same birthday and became inseparable ever since. The first time we met, Beau barely looked at me as anything more than Dean’s little sister. Unfortunately for my heart, I looked at him like he hung the moon. For a year, I’ve kept my crush buried beneath teasing banter, stolen glances, and the certainty that he’d never see me as anything other than the kid sister he was sworn to protect. Beau has rules—especially when it comes to Dean. Dating me would destroy the one friendship he’s never been willing to risk. But somewhere between late-night study sessions, game-day celebrations, and moments neither of us can explain, the lines begin to blur. One almost-kiss becomes impossible to forget. One secret changes everything. Now Beau has to choose between the brother who’s always had his back… and the girl who’s quietly stolen his heart. Because falling for your best friend’s little sister was never part of the game. And some rules are worth breaking—even if they cost you everything.

    Offline With You

    Y/N has one rule: Never date another streamer. She’s watched too many online relationships become content, and she’s determined to keep her heart—and her career—separate. Then she meets Mason Reid. He’s one of Twitch’s biggest creators: effortlessly funny, endlessly charming, and just cocky enough to get under her skin. Their first collaboration is a disaster. She accidentally gets him eliminated. He spends the next hour dramatically pretending to hold a grudge. The clip goes viral. Soon they’re streaming together every week, trading sarcastic insults, shameless flirting, and inside jokes that have their viewers convinced they’re secretly dating. Off camera, the conversations don’t stop. They text all day. Call every night. Celebrate birthdays over Discord. Fall asleep on FaceTime. Neither of them ever says the words they’re both thinking. Because they’ve never met. When they’re invited to headline the biggest gaming convention in the country, they’re finally forced to answer the question that’s been hanging between them for months: What happens when the person you’ve fallen for steps out from behind the screen?
