"Mit ihr zusammen zu sein war so, als würde jemand meinen Namen singen, nachdem ich ein Leben in absoluter Stille verbracht hatte." Nachdem Bay in einer Nacht vor sechs Jahren aus dem Bett und dem Leben ihrer ersten Liebe Dare verschwunden ist, kann dieser sie immer noch nicht vergessen. Er versteht, weshalb Bay nicht bei ihm bleiben konnte: Zu tief sind die Wunden, die Dares Verhalten in der Vergangenheit auf Bays Seele hinterlassen hat. Doch er glaubt fest daran, dass sie gemeinsam ihre gebrochenen Herzen heilen können und dass er nur mit Bay die Chance auf eine glückliche Zukunft hat.

Willa's mine from the moment I rescue her. I protect her from a brawling crowd and she stares up at me like I'm her prince charming. No one's ever looked at me like that. No one has ever dared to come that close. I didn't know she was the little sister of one of my biggest rivals. Her brother and I have both drawn blood on the field, dislocated joints, broken bones, but I'll never want to show her that side of me. I long to be the man she believes I am, but there's only one way I know how to win—how to survive—and that's ensuring my enemies lose.

If I were on fire, she’d break out the marshmallows. It’s not that we don’t like each other, more like hate with the fury of a thousand suns. But it wasn’t always that way. I still remember how her lips tasted. How they felt pressed against mine. How I wanted more. How I still crave her. Our disastrous night together ended with her storming out, me wondering if I’d ever be able to show my face on campus again and us as bitter enemies. When a campus competition is announced to find the most in love couple, she’s the last person I thought I’d turn to for help.

Reid Riddick was hotness personified, so of course I literally ran into with him - well, more like he plowed into me. I didn’t know he was a football player when I started falling and now I can’t stop. A stolen kiss later and my heart races whenever he looks at me from across the quad. But my secret would spell disaster for him.

Six years ago, in the dead of night, I woke up to a cold bed and an even colder future without her. I would’ve followed her anywhere, and she left. I thought I’d moved on and left all she meant to me behind. But a first love is never easy to forget. Even harder when I once felt our love was inevitable - inescapable. And I’ve been proven right once again. One night brings us back together and derails our lives. We’re sent on a collision course with a future apart and, even scarier - a future together.

Bay Bishop aka The New Girl is my new neighbor. Glasses, stage crew black clothes, and a knack for fading into the background. She’s probably the only one who rolls her eyes when I walk past instead of cheering on my last touchdown play. But before I can shove her into the recesses of my mind filed under “Not my problem”, she lands herself smack dab in the middle of my dreams. I catch her singing with a voice unlike any I’ve heard before that taps into feelings I shouldn’t have for the girl who avoids me at all costs. I need to know why she hates me.

I don’t deserve her forgiveness, but I can’t stop fighting for it. Bay ran from me four years ago, and I can’t blame her. I broke her heart and my own with one split second mistake. Now, we’re thrown together for four weeks. Training camp after the draft is the final step to cement my pro football careers, but after seeing her again, she’s the only future I want. If I were a better guy, I’d walk away and let her live her life. Maybe I haven’t learned my lesson yet because I can’t stop thinking about her. And I won’t stop until she knows how much I still love her.

Marisa’s been my best friend since third grade. And now, she needs my help - and a place to stay. Senior year was supposed to be the year to keep some distance until the season finished and my draft prospects were safe. But resisting her is becoming impossible. Movie Thursdays under the blankets. Study sessions on my bed. Wild party nights where I kept any guy interested at bay with a single glare.

Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him, and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it. Now, he’s the hot, angry hockey player on the mend. I’m the physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet. I don’t think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t dreamt of him every time I close my eyes.

Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I've roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down. There's only one problem - I'm falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves, and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.

The butterflies in my stomach turned into full blown eagles the second our lips touched. A kiss under the stars that changed our relationship forever. After a lifetime of wishing, I stared up into Ford’s eyes with his fingers caressing my cheek and my heart racing. The evening ended with my heart bleeding on the ballroom floor.

Elle: Phoenix “Nix” Russo's the big man on campus. Everyone lines up at his games to make sure he knows it. Sure, he’s got piercing blue eyes, abs that don’t quit, and a smile that could set panties on fire from a hundred yards away, but he’s also the biggest pain in my ass. Nix: Elle Masterson called the cops on one of my parties - again. My sweet talking usually gets me out of trouble, but this time it got me into a nice pair of silver handcuffs. Now I’m on a reputation rehab tour with a stop at a spring break community service project. Guess who’s my new boss?

We were high school sweethearts. I was head over heels for her and no one could tell me we weren't going to last forever. College? Going pro? My family's money? None of it mattered. She was all I needed. Then she ripped my heart out. But I'm not going to let that happen again. She's back. Invading my life and acting like she was the wronged one.

Heath Taylor. Laid-back. Easygoing. Fastest guy on two skates and chill to a fault, at least that’s what they say. Until Kara. Three nights together and I’m done for. Her laugh, her smile, the way my hand curves around her waist. She’s the one. Not a doubt in my mind...until I walk into my last class of the semester. Kara, the woman of my dreams, is my new instructor. My hockey season and her career prospects are on the line. One false move - if anyone finds out - we’re both sunk.

Persephone Alexander. Math genius. Lover of blazers. The only girl I know who can make Heidi braids look sexy as hell. And she’s on a mission. Lose her virginity by the end of the semester. I walked in on her interview session for potential candidates (who even does that?) and saw straight through her brave front. She’s got a list of firsts to accomplish, like she’s only got months to live.

After a blow out in high school, Makenna Halstead and I were happy to never have to cross paths again. Except life has a way of knocking you straight in the teeth with a puck when you least expect it. She hasn’t just returned to my life, she crashed into it like a wrecking ball...into my college kingdom, into my class, and smack dab into the seat next to mine. My new lab partner to be exact.

"Ich schwor, dass ich versuchen würde, der Mann zu werden, den sie verdient hatte. Auch wenn sie nichts mehr mit mir zu tun haben wollte." Vier Jahre ist es nun her, seit Darren Keyton seiner großen Highschool-Liebe Bay das Herz gebrochen hat - vier Jahre, seit sie aus seinem Leben verschwunden ist. Doch das Schicksal gibt den beiden eine zweite Chance: Ihre Wege kreuzen sich wieder, als Keytons Footballtrainingslager an Bays Universität stattfindet. Plötzlich hat Keyton die Möglichkeit, seinen Fehler wiedergutzumachen und ihr zu zeigen, wie sehr er sie immer noch liebt.

"Ihre Stimme war einfach vollkommen. Sie brachte Dinge zum Vorschein, die so tief versteckt waren, dass sie mir Angst einjagten." Für einen kurzen Moment fühlt es sich an, als würde Dares Welt stillstehen. Als der Highschool-Footballspieler eines Abends seine Nachbarin Bay singen hört, löst ihre Stimme etwas in ihm aus, das er noch nie gefühlt hat. Eigentlich kennt Dare seine Mitschülerin kaum: Die beiden bewegen sich nicht im gleichen Freundeskreis und Bay gehört ganz sicher nicht zu den begeisterten Fans, die Dare auf dem Football-Feld anfeuern.

Ein einziger Blick könnte alles zwischen ihnen verändern... LJ und Marisa sind seit Jahren unzertrennlich. Aber obwohl sie eigentlich keine Geheimnisse voreinander haben, verbergen beide, dass aus ihrer Freundschaft längst Liebe geworden ist. Denn zu tief sitzt die Angst, den wichtigsten Menschen im Leben wegen unerwiderter Gefühle zu verlieren. Außerdem ist Marisas Vater LJs Football-Coach und gar nicht damit einverstanden, dass dieser so viel Zeit mit seiner Tochter verbringt.

Wenn du merkst, dass das Mädchen von nebenan deine große Liebe ist... Jules ist in ihren Nachbarn Berk verliebt. Doch sie ist sicher, dass der attraktive und erfolgreiche College-Footballspieler ihre Gefühle niemals erwidern würde. Trotzdem nimmt sie all ihren Mut zusammen, schreibt ihm einen anonymen Brief - und bekommt tatsächlich eine Antwort, aus der sich ein heißer Briefwechsel entwickelt. Doch als die beiden sich dann auch im echten Leben langsam anfreunden, verpasst Jules den richtigen Moment, sich als "Die Brieffreundin" zu erkennen zu geben.
