    Summary

    She arrives at Briar already halfway gone. She understands velocity better than people. Her life has always moved in carefully controlled acceleration: deadlines, equations, impossible ambitions, and the quiet certainty that nothing, and no one, stays permanently.

    Then Beau Maxwell starts lingering in her orbit. Briar's golden boy is supposed to be uncomplicated: charismatic, reckless, impossible not to notice. Instead, he notices too much. The exhaustion hidden beneath her competence. The way she disappears into work when emotions become difficult. The loneliness tucked carefully inside ambition.

    And somehow, Elara keeps seeing through him too.

    What begins as late-night conversations about racing strategy and performance psychology slowly becomes something quieter, stranger, and far more dangerous: recognition. The kind that makes loneliness visible. The kind that turns temporary places into homes. But ambition has its own gravity, and both of them are already accelerating toward futures that may not have room for each other.

    Because temporary things are easy. It’s staying that terrifies them.

    Summary

    Kenzie Weston came to Briar University to make films, not to spend a whole year making a documentary about a sport she barely understands.

    But when a class project throws her into the world of Briar hockey, she suddenly finds herself surrounded by cold ice rinks, crowded locker rooms, and wild college parties: a world she never wanted to be part of.

    In the middle of all this chaos, one person helps her keep her sanity:

    Meet John Logan. The hockey player is used to keeping his world simple: hockey first, everything else second. But from the moment a sharp-tongued filmmaker with no interest in hockey or its players storms into his life, Logan finds himself distracted in a way he has never experienced before.

    Summary

    When Kiera (Kit) wins £1500 in a bet, she decides to visit her childhood best friend Beau at Briar U. Born and bred in England where she attends university, Kiera goes expecting the whole american college experience - beer, parties, and boys - and to spend time with someone she only gets to see at Christmas and during the summer when their families holiday together.

    But when Beau cancels her hotel room and makes her stay with him, the line they've always been great at toeing begins to blur, and the feelings Beau's been hiding rise to the surface. But Kiera is Beau's 'Kit' - his lucky charm - and he doesn't want to ruin the friendship. And Beau is Kiera's 'Caboodle', the only one who understands how Kiera feels after what happened with Jason.

    With Kiera's return flight fixed, they have to decide whether what they have is just friendship, or something worth risking everything for.

    **** Based on the TV show ****

    Summary

    Dean is a protective brother—everyone knows that. He’s also made it very clear: don’t talk to his sister, don’t ask about her, don’t even think about her.

    But of course, Garrett has never been good at following rules… especially when it comes to something he wants but can’t exactly claim.
