For four years, Y/N has insisted that she and Jude Mercer were never together. Never mind the late nights, shared beds, jealousy, whispered I love yous, and countless failed attempts at being “just friends.” They never dated. At least, that’s what Y/N always tells the press. Then, after five months without speaking, Jude releases his newest single: “We Never Dated.” Everyone knows exactly who it’s about. For the first time in four years, Jude isn’t asking Y/N to choose him. He’s finally moving on. And Y/N is about to discover that she liked their arrangement a lot better when she was the one making the rules.
When Mr. Schuester meets a fifteen-year-old girl from the nation’s best show choir, he expects talent. He doesn’t expect kindness.

Now she’s the former captain of the team everyone fears, the newest Cheerio, and somehow the one person Sue Sylvester can’t find a reason to hate. As friendships grow, rivalries fade, and music begins to mean something again, Y/N discovers that sometimes the greatest performances aren’t the ones that win trophies— They’re the ones that change people. Or: The Harmony Academy transfer accidentally adopts New Directions… and maybe one incredibly lovable blond football player along the way.
Eight years ago, Wyatt Callahan lost his wife in a storm. Since then, the widowed rancher has dedicated his life to his children, his ranch, and keeping everyone he loves safe. He doesn’t date. He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t let anyone get close. Not because women haven’t tried. Every woman in Cedar Creek has either had a crush on Wyatt Callahan, tried to set him up, or knows someone who has. He is the handsome cowboy everyone wants — successful, loyal, and the devoted father of two. The problem? Wyatt has no interest in being anyone’s second chance. Then Y/N arrives in Cedar Creek. She isn’t impressed by his reputation. She doesn’t see the town’s biggest catch. She sees the stubborn, grumpy rancher underneath — the man who carries his grief quietly, loves his children fiercely, and refuses to believe he deserves happiness again. Y/N doesn’t try to fix Wyatt. She doesn’t replace Hannah. She simply becomes part of his life. But when Wyatt realizes he’s falling for her, he has to face the one thing he’s spent eight years avoiding: Loving someone new doesn’t mean he loved the person he lost any less.

Unfortunately, Carter Vaughn also cheats on her like it’s an extracurricular. Grant “Cal” Callahan is Ridgeway University’s golden boy—a generational quarterback, future NFL star, and the rival Bellamy loves to hate. They’ve known of each other for years. They’ve never actually spoken. Then AEC Media Days puts them side by side for one photograph, and Y/N discovers something deeply inconvenient: Grant Callahan is nothing like she expected. And Cal discovers the girl he’s spent years believing was completely off-limits might be just as lonely as he is.
Y/N Bennett has spent her entire life around baseball. As the daughter of Yankees legend Jack Bennett, she knows exactly what kind of man Mateo De León is: twenty-four, tattooed, hotheaded, ridiculously talented, and notorious for leaving women behind in every city the Yankees visit. So when her father takes Teo under his wing, Y/N knows better than to get involved. Teo has never had trouble getting a woman he wants. Until his mentor’s daughter looks him dead in the eye and tells him no.

At a charity gala during AEC Media Days, you meet Nathan. No last names. No schools. No expectations. For one night, he’s just the stranger who makes you laugh.

Y/N Sinclair has spent her entire life being told exactly where she belongs. Born into one of Figure Eight’s oldest families, she’s supposed to spend her last summer before college at the beach club—not chasing centuries-old treasure with the Pogues. Too bad nobody told her that. Now Y/N finds herself knee-deep in the Royal Merchant gold hunt alongside John B, Sarah, JJ, Pope, and Kiara, lying to her parents about where she’s been, outrunning people who want the treasure for themselves, and somehow crossing paths with Deputy Caleb Hayes far more often than either of them would like. Falling for a deputy was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming a Pogue. But in the Outer Banks, plans have a funny way of washing out with the tide.
The world knows Y/N as the biggest pop star on the planet. Every album breaks records. Every stadium sells out. Every moment of her life belongs to millions of people who think they know her. But behind the spotlight is a woman who hasn’t had a normal day in years — a woman who fears that loving her means hurting the people she cares about. Then she meets Luca Moretti. A Formula One superstar who understands pressure, but not the kind of fame that follows her everywhere.

The one person who understands the impossible position she has been placed in is Nathan Hale, the royal press secretary who has spent years protecting the crown’s image. He knows every secret, every crisis, and every sacrifice behind the palace walls. He also knows that loving the future queen could destroy everything they have both worked to protect.

When Y/N chooses Nathan, the country must decide whether the man who spent his life defending the monarchy is worthy of standing beside it. For ninety days, America watches. And this time, the story cannot be controlled.

Born and raised in Nashville, she’s become the biggest female artist in country music through relentless hard work, unforgettable songwriting, and an unwavering love for the city that raised her. To the world, she’s America’s sweetheart. Privately, she’s learned that fame makes it difficult to know who genuinely cares and who simply loves the spotlight surrounding her. Noah “Goldie” Walker is the Nashville Predators’ golden boy in every sense of the word.

What they don’t expect is a year-long will that forces them to remain at Blackthorne Manor under strict conditions… or the sixth name reading aloud. Y/N. No connection. No explanation.

As the Blackthorne family unravels under grief, control, and buried resentment, Y/N becomes the center of a mystery no one was meant to solve. And the deeper she goes into William Blackthorne’s final design, the more one question refuses to let her go: Why her? And what did William see in her that no one else was ever meant to understand?

Y/N Bennett knows everyone at the University of Magnolia. Cheer captain, sorority president, Elementary Education major—she’s spent three years becoming one of the most recognizable girls on campus. Elliot Mercer would prefer nobody recognize him at all. He’s a brilliant Computer Science major, programming TA, dedicated League of Legends player, and perfectly capable of talking to women—as long as they aren’t flirting with him.

Three Olympic Games, multiple gold medals, and Y/N still has one goal left: make history by competing again at twenty-eight. Nikola “Niko” Vuković has two NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and absolutely no idea why she keeps calling twenty-eight old. She’s bubbly, sarcastic, fiercely competitive, and proudly Team USA. He’s dry, brutally straightforward, Serbian, and still bitter enough about losing to the Americans to argue about it. Their first conversation ends in an argument. Their second isn’t much better. Unfortunately, they really like each other.
Y/N knows sold-out stadiums, world tours, and pop superstardom. NASCAR? Not so much.
