Unfortunate Friends 1: My Best Frenemy
by Ruth Robinson
I hated AJ McGabe.
He was my school’s quarterback, and the other girls treated him like Adonis reborn.
Ngl, he was hot as fuck. But he despised me, and the feeling was so mutual.
The only bright spot for Senior year was that my best friend, Jake, was starting at my school.
And it turned out he already had a friend from football camp here. This guy, Andy.
Jake said the three of us would be spending a lot of time together this semester.
But on the first day of school, I got a nasty surprise when he brought me to meet this Andy guy.
Turns out it was AJ. Fucking. McGabe.
That’s right. My best friend was buddies with my sexy nemesis himself.
Fuck. It was going to be a long semester…

The Hockey Player
by Galatea Original
“I want you right now,” he whispered into my ear before carrying me through the stands and toward the locker room.
He pressed me up against the locker, the cold metal against my back.
As we kissed, I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair, tugging on his curls. He pulled away for a moment and smiled deviously before pulling me in even more aggressively.
He bit my lip, gently tugging at it, before slipping his tongue into my mouth.
I found myself wondering what his tongue would feel like on other parts of my body.
As he lowered himself in front of me, I realized that I would soon find out.
Bia and Tanner are polar opposites; he is the sexy hockey team captain used to getting what he wants, and she is the ice skater who refuses to give it to him. And yet, when their bodies collide, sparks fly. What happens when they find themselves alone on the ice? Will Bia give in to Tanner’s charms?

Book Boyfriends Wanted 1: His Curvy Friend
by Mary E Thompson
Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk.
Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.
