MALACHI BARTON & FREYA SKYE

Pucker Up! || m.b.

Arabella Hayes and Malachi Barton have been best friends since they were five, but after playing love interests and accidentally feeding years of dating rumors, the internet has questions. Now the most requested duo in Pucker Up history is finally sitting down with Joley Live for ten brutal levels of sour candy, childhood secrets, TikTok receipts, BOP allegations, and questions neither of them were prepared to answer.

𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 || M.B

Reese North and Malachi Barton have been best friends since they were five. Thirteen years later, nothing has changed—except Malachi has a girlfriend. Reese doesn’t think twice about stealing his clothes, falling asleep against him, taking his food, or calling him at two in the morning. That’s simply them. But Kylie doesn’t see an innocent childhood friendship. She sees the girl who knows her boyfriend better than she does. As jealousy turns into arguments and longtime boundaries begin to blur, one summer threatens to change everything Reese and Malachi thought they knew about each other. Because maybe everyone was right. Maybe best friends aren’t supposed to look at each other like that.

Dipped In Gold

One year after disappearing from the spotlight, the world’s biggest pop star returns with one performance that changes everything. A surprise single. A brand-new album. A world tour announcement. And one chance encounter at an after-party. Malachi Barton never expected the girl on stage to become the girl he couldn’t stop thinking about. Y/n never expected one conversation after the biggest performance of her career to become the start of something she never wrote into a song. Sometimes the loudest love stories begin after the music ends.

BAD TASTE || M.B.

Cassie Spring and Malachi Barton have hated each other for years. Unfortunately, sharing the same friends means avoiding each other has never exactly been an option. But during their senior year, something changes. Arguments turn into accidental flirting, insults start sounding suspiciously like compliments, and one Halloween party leaves both of them questioning whether they’ve actually hated each other this entire time—or whether hatred was simply easier than admitting whatever this is. After all, everyone has bad taste sometimes. Cassie’s might just be Malachi Barton.

When The Spotlight Found Us

The world’s biggest pop star has spent years living under stadium lights, sold-out tours, and endless headlines. With a career moving faster than she can keep up with, Y/n barely has time for herself—let alone new friendships. Everything changes after one viral photo places her beside Disney stars Kylie Cantrall and Freya Skye, sending the internet into a frenzy and sparking one impossible request: introduce her to the rest of the Descendants and Zombies cast. When Y/n is invited to the Descendants 5 premiere, one unforgettable night turns into the beginning of friendships she never expected… and feelings she never planned for. Between sold-out arenas, movie premieres, world tours, award shows, and cameras that never stop watching, Y/n and Malachi Barton discover that finding someone who truly understands fame might be rarer than becoming famous in the first place. Sometimes the brightest spotlight leads you to the one person who makes the rest of the world disappear.

Space Between

Losing your boyfriend hurts. Losing your best friend hurts even more. Losing them both on the same night? That changes you. Y/n thought she knew exactly who would stay in her life forever. She was wrong. After catching her boyfriend kissing her childhood best friend, she walks away without looking back. No screaming. No revenge. Just silence… Until she turns every ounce of heartbreak into an album called Space Between. While the world tries to decode every lyric, one person quietly becomes her safe place. Her best friend’s older brother. The boy who’s always looked after her. The actor who’s beginning to realize he doesn’t want to protect her anymore… He wants to love her. Sometimes the space between heartbreak and happiness is only one person.

Cherry Red: Before The Credits

At nineteen, Y/N has millions of followers, a signature head of cherry-red hair, and the ability to turn almost any choreography she creates into TikTok’s newest obsession. But there’s only one thing she’s ever wanted more than dance: To act. When one of Y/N’s dances becomes her biggest trend yet, Hollywood’s favorite young friend group joins in—and suddenly people who once existed only on her screen know exactly who she is. But viral fame has consequences. As Y/N begins realizing that the best friend beside her might be more interested in her following than their friendship, she has to learn who deserves a place in her life before the opportunity she’s dreamed about finally arrives. Her first movie. A fantasy blockbuster. And six co-stars whose viral TikTok she remembers very, very well. Especially Malachi Barton. Turns out going viral was only the beginning.

Worlds Collide Tour || M.B.

Eight stars. Three franchises. One unforgettable tour. Fifteen-year-old Addi Ryan is living the dream—traveling the world, performing for thousands, and sharing the stage with the cast that has become her second family. At least, that’s what everyone thinks. Behind the smiles, sold-out arenas, and backstage chaos, the pressure of being the youngest is slowly getting to her. And as Addi quietly begins losing the spark that brought her here, one person starts realizing her smile doesn’t always reach her eyes. Malachi Barton. The Worlds Collide Tour was supposed to be the beginning of Addi’s dream. She never expected it to become the place where she’d nearly lose herself—or where someone might help her find herself again.

A Crown For A Hook

On one side of the barrier live the heroes—the kings, queens, and children destined to inherit their kingdoms. On the other is the Isle of the Lost, where villains were banished long ago and their children were left to inherit their punishment. Y/N Hook has never questioned which side she belongs on. As the daughter of Captain Hook and leader of one of the Isle’s most notorious VK groups, Y/N has spent her entire life stealing, fighting, and surviving alongside Arianna, Malia, MK, and Orlando. Heroes aren’t people to trust. Princes aren’t people to save. And happy endings certainly aren’t meant for villains. Then the impossible happens. Y/N and her friends find themselves on the other side of the barrier—and face-to-face with the very people they were raised to hate. Including Prince Malachi, the future king. He has a crown to protect. She has a legacy she refuses to betray. They were born on opposite sides of a war that ended before either of them existed. Falling for each other was never supposed to be part of the story. But perhaps the most dangerous thing Y/N Hook could ever steal… is the heart of a prince.

Ashes of Blackwood

Blackwood looks like the perfect small town. Friday night football. Fall festivals. Bonfires. Late-night diners. Everyone smiles. Everyone waves. Everyone lies. After moving to Blackwood, Y/n quickly realizes something isn’t right. People vanish without a trace, strange symbols appear throughout town, and every conversation seems to end just before the truth is spoken. Then she meets Malachi Barton. Beautiful. Mysterious. Dangerous. The more she falls for him, the deeper she gets pulled into a centuries-old secret that could destroy the town forever. Because monsters aren’t hiding in the woods. They’re hiding in plain sight.

Salt & Secrets

Everyone says the island is divided by money. They’re wrong. It’s divided by loyalty. Y/n Cameron is the daughter of the most powerful family on Blackwater Key. She’s known as the Kook Princess—the girl who’s expected to be perfect, marry perfectly, and never question her family’s name. Malachi Barton is everything she’s been warned about. A reckless Pogue. A troublemaker. A treasure hunter. When an old mystery forces them onto the same side, Y/n discovers that everything she’s believed about the Pogues—and even her own family—might be a lie. With rival families, dangerous secrets, hidden maps, and a treasure everyone is willing to kill for, Y/n must decide where she truly belongs. Because sometimes… the greatest treasure isn’t gold. It’s finding people who finally feel like home.

Between The Cameras

Playing Disney’s newest iconic couple was supposed to end when filming wrapped. Instead… It only got more complicated. As the stars of Disney’s newest musical, Moonfall, Y/n and Malachi Barton are suddenly everywhere—movie premieres, magazine covers, international interviews, fan conventions, and viral TikToks. Their natural chemistry quickly makes them the internet’s newest obsession, with millions of fans convinced there’s something more than friendship happening behind the scenes. While the world analyzes every smile, every laugh, and every red carpet appearance, Y/n and Malachi insist they’re just co-stars. But somewhere between midnight airport runs, press tour chaos, matching inside jokes, and always finding each other in every crowded room… The line between acting and reality begins to disappear. Maybe the greatest Disney love story… …was never the one written in the script.

When The Lights Go Out || M.B.

New York City knows exactly what happens when the sky turns black and thunder rolls over Manhattan. Blackout is coming. For years, the city’s most mysterious villain has slipped through the fingers of its masked heroes without leaving behind a face, a name, or even proof of who—or what—they are. The only certainty is that wherever Blackout goes, secrets disappear, buildings fall, and the lights go out. Nobody suspects Harley Beaumont. With blonde hair, brown eyes, a striking British accent, and a personality far too sweet to belong to New York’s most wanted criminal, Harley appears completely ordinary. Until night falls. When Harley unexpectedly crosses paths with one of the city’s heroes outside their masks, two lives that were never supposed to touch begin colliding. Because he’s unknowingly falling for the woman he’s spent years trying to catch—and Harley is getting dangerously close to discovering that the boy making her laugh during the day is the same masked hero hunting her at night. In a city built on secret identities, falling in love might be the one mistake neither of them can survive.

The Tidebound Prophecy

Navy thought being sent to summer camp was the worst thing her parents had ever done to her. Then she discovered monsters were real. Then she discovered Greek gods were real. Then Poseidon claimed her as his daughter. So… summer camp officially got worse. Suddenly thrown into a world of demigods, prophecies, monsters, and gods who seem incapable of communicating normally, Navy discovers she has a brother she never knew existed and powers she definitely doesn’t know how to control. But when an ancient prophecy resurfaces and Camp Half-Blood refuses to act, Navy and eight other demigods decide to take matters into their own hands. They’re not supposed to leave. They don’t have permission for a quest. And according to the prophecy, one of them won’t return. Navy × Malachi Demigods | Greek Mythology | Found Family | Forbidden Quest | Slow Burn

SAME HOUSE, SAME SUMMER || m.b.

Every summer since she was ten, Adrianna Sturniolo has spent her break in the same Florida beach house with her three older brothers and the Barton family. Now nineteen, Addie knows exactly what another Barton summer means. Beach days. Midnight drives. Her brothers being idiots. Lumi stealing her clothes. And Malachi Barton getting on her last nerve. For almost a decade, Addie and Malachi have existed somewhere between best friends and sworn enemies. They can spend an entire night laughing together only to wake up the next morning and refuse to speak. But this summer, nobody has school to go back to. No deadline. No reason to leave. And after years of pretending there’s nothing underneath all the fighting, Addie and Malachi are about to learn that some things become a lot harder to ignore when summer doesn’t have to end.

More Than My Last Name.

Everyone knows Y/n’s last name. No one knows her. Raised by two Hollywood legends, she’s spent her entire life being called a “nepo baby” before anyone ever gave her a chance. Tired of living in her parents’ shadow, Y/n leaves New York behind and moves to Los Angeles with one goal—to prove she can build a career on her own. No family money. No famous connections. Just her music. But escaping a famous last name is harder than she expected. Every paparazzi photo sparks another wave of hate, every song is criticized before it’s released, and every success is written off as something she didn’t earn. When actresses and singers Kylie Cantrall and Freya Skye unexpectedly stand by her side, the internet erupts. Suddenly Y/n is pulled into a friend group she never expected—and into the orbit of Malachi Barton, someone who’s convinced she’s exactly what everyone says she is. She wants people to hear her songs. He thinks he already knows her story. Both of them are about to find out how wrong first impressions can be.

Looks Can Kill.

Everyone thinks Y/n is dangerous. They whisper about her in the hallways. Avoid eye contact. Cross the street when they see her coming. Nobody wants to be the next person she fights. But rumors don’t always tell the truth. After defending Freya Skye during a school bonfire, Y/n accidentally catches the attention of the loudest, most chaotic friend group on campus. Now she’s stuck with four people who refuse to be intimidated by her. Freya. Kylie. MK. And Malachi Barton. As the rumors begin to fall apart, everyone starts realizing the “scariest girl in school” is actually the one who quietly takes care of everyone else. Maybe first impressions aren’t everything. Maybe the toughest people have the softest hearts. And maybe… The boy who wasn’t afraid to know the real Y/n might end up stealing it.

Between the Lines & Red Lights

Emery Ann Maddox knows exactly what she wants in a man. Unfortunately, most of those men are fictional. When she’s not driving around town blasting music with the windows down, she’s probably curled up on her windowsill with a romance novel in her hands. After years of reading about fictional love stories, her standards are ridiculously high—and she’s perfectly okay with that. Malachi Barton used to be one of her favorite people. Then they turned eighteen. A motorcycle, a few bad habits, and too many bloody knuckles later, the boy Emery grew up with became someone she couldn’t stand. Now, years later, they’re still stuck in the same inseparable childhood friend group. Which means avoiding each other isn’t exactly an option. They fight. They tease. They push every button the other has. But somewhere between late-night drives, stolen books, motorcycle rides, old memories, and arguments that start feeling suspiciously like flirting, Emery begins to realize something terrifying. Maybe the love story she’s been searching for isn’t sitting on her bookshelf. Maybe it’s been annoying her since she was ten.

It’s Always Been You.

Everyone knows about the M&M Duo. Maddie and Malachi Barton have been attached at the hip since kindergarten, thanks to Maddie’s friendship with Kylie. They finish each other’s sentences, steal each other’s food, hug every time they see each other, and somehow spend more time together than actual couples. To them? It’s completely normal. To everyone else? They’re basically siblings. Until one day… Malachi realizes his heart beats a little faster whenever Maddie laughs. Now he’s stuck trying to figure out how to stop pretending she’s “just Mad Dog” before someone else realizes she’s everything he’s ever wanted. Because maybe… The best love story starts with your best friend.

Girls Like Her || m.b.

2.9 million people thought they knew Sloane Saint. Dancer. TikToker. Professional yapper. Internet it-girl. Singer? Absolutely nobody saw that coming. When Sloane randomly drops her debut single, “Girls Like U,” with zero warning, the internet goes insane—and one viral reaction from five familiar faces only makes things bigger. Freya Skye. Lumi Pollack. Orlando Lucas. MK. And Malachi Barton. One song turns into millions of streams. One reaction turns into an unexpected interaction. And suddenly, two people who’ve never actually met keep finding their names in the same comment sections. But “Girls Like U” was only the beginning. Because Sloane has an entire folder of unreleased songs. And if people start paying close enough attention… they might realize those trash bags in her announcement TikTok weren’t filled with random words after all. Girls Like Her She already had millions watching. Now they’re finally listening.

Where You Can Find Me

Ever since an attempted kidnapping when she was little, Y/n’s life has been wrapped in rules. Her older brother has spent years making sure nothing bad ever happens to her again—even if it means driving her everywhere, texting every hour, and scaring off almost every guy who talks to her. But when the Barton family moves in across the street, everything starts to change. Their home is loud, messy, and full of love. Before long, Y/n isn’t just visiting anymore… She’s practically one of them. As childhood friendships grow into something much more complicated, Y/n finds herself caught between the people trying to protect her and the boy quietly stealing her heart. Because sometimes the safest place isn’t where you’re protected… It’s where you’re finally allowed to grow.

Legendary Lover

Demitra Dutton has everything she’s ever dreamed of. At twenty years old, the London-born pop star is selling out arenas on her Miss Possessive World Tour, breaking the internet with every performance, and proving exactly why fans have nicknamed her fearless onstage alter ego “Demi.” She’s also apparently dating half of Hollywood—if you believe the internet. Demitra never does. So when actor Malachi Barton attends her New York show and fans immediately decide they’ve found their newest celebrity couple, Demitra expects the rumors to disappear within a week. Then Malachi reposts an edit. Demitra reposts it back. And #Demilachi explodes. It was supposed to be a joke between two people who barely knew each other. But after another accidental meeting turns into another—and Malachi’s friends slowly become hers—the boy the internet chose for Demitra starts becoming the boy she looks for in every room. The world called them Legendary Lovers before they were even friends. Maybe they knew something Demitra didn’t.

One Night Only

Nobody knew who Y/n Murray was… Until four minutes changed everything. A surprise performance at the MTV Video Music Awards launches the unknown singer into worldwide superstardom overnight, turning her into the newest face of pop music. As sold-out arenas, award shows, world tours, and endless headlines become her new normal, Y/n struggles to balance the career she’s dreamed about with the life she never expected. Meanwhile, actor Malachi Barton can’t stop thinking about the mysterious pop star whose performance captivated the entire world—including him. When their paths finally cross months later, the internet’s newest obsession may become something neither of them saw coming. Some performances make history. Some performances change your life.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 || M.B.

Destiny Burkeley expected to spend the summer alone at her family’s estate with her four-year-old sister, Caitlyn. What she didn’t expect was her parents hiring a live-in babysitter before leaving for Paris—especially not one her age. Now Malachi Barton is living across the hall, Caitlyn has made bullying him her favorite hobby, their separate friend groups are becoming one, and Destiny is spending way too much time with the boy who was only supposed to be there for the summer. After all, what’s the worst that can happen in three months? Apparently, a lot.

Back Where I belong

When Y/n left London after her parents’ divorce, she left behind more than just her home. She left behind her friends, her confidence, and the sport she loved most. Years later, after rebuilding herself in America with the help of her mom and stepdad, she’s finally ready to return. Stronger. Faster. Better. An Instagram training video catches the attention of England football star Jude Bellingham, and suddenly everyone expects greatness from the mysterious girl moving back to London. But returning home isn’t as easy as she imagined. Until her family finds a house, Y/n is forced to live with the Bartons—old family friends—which means sharing a home with the one person she can’t stand: Malachi Barton. He’s sarcastic. She’s stubborn. They argue over everything. School isn’t much easier. Even after earning a spot on the football team, Y/n spends every match glued to the bench because her coach refuses to believe she’s good enough. As she finds a new family in Malachi’s friends and fights to prove she belongs both on the field and back in London, one thing becomes impossible to ignore: Sometimes the person who gets under your skin the most is also the first one willing to stand beside you. And maybe… Home was never a place. Maybe it was the people waiting for you to come back.
