Life is Not a Game

Life is Not a Game

by Kara Verbeek

Charlotte leads a double life. Online, she is Mars: gamer, master strategist, and one of the boys. In real life, she’s too shy to utter a single word. On her team, she’s infallible. At school, she’s a freak. But a cross-country move gives her a chance to reinvent herself—until a fateful collision with her new friend’s gorgeous brother knocks her whole world off course. Will she have the courage to date football jock TJ? Or should she stick to her online love, Tony—even if he thinks she’s a boy?

Broken

by Evelyn Miller

She wanted payback. She wasn’t expecting a love story.

When cheerleader Lily catches her quarterback boyfriend hooking up with her best friend, the perfect senior year she envisioned goes up in flames. But then she meets Mason: the rival school’s star QB, a notorious bad boy, and her ex’s enemy. He’s trouble with a capital T, which makes him the perfect distraction—and the perfect revenge.

What starts as a steamy summer fling soon turns into something more. Between wild adventures, heartfelt confessions, and a bucket list full of magical moments, Lily and Mason discover a connection that’s impossible to ignore.

But with senior year looming and their friends ready to tear them apart, they’ll have to fight for more than just each other. Can two people from opposite sides of the field beat the odds… or will their love story end before the season even starts?

Has Ember finally found a place where she fits, or is she hurtling toward her own destruction?

Hated By My Mate

Hated By My Mate

by Nathalie Hooker

Alpha Wolfgang. He had the body of a god but the soul of the devil.

I should know. I was working at his birthday party the night I sensed my mate.

I was serving guests when suddenly my skin tingled. My heart pounded, and somehow I knew…

My destined mate was here. I turned to search for him. But when our eyes met, my heart stopped.

It was him. Alpha. Fucking. Wolfgang. And he looked furious.

He grabbed my face roughly, hatred in his icy eyes.

“Please, I know you want to reject me,” I trembled. ”Don’t worry. I’ll leave the pack.”

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”

But there’s a problem: Logan’s equally sexy friend Drew. With both her heart and sex caught up in between these two football rivals, things are about to get very complicated…and steamy.

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…
