1. LEARNING CURVE by Max Monroe
SYNOPSIS
Finn Hayes is what girls my age would call ‘stupid hot.’ He’s handsome, has brown eyes that remind me of warm chocolate chip cookies, and a tall, muscular build that makes marble sculptures jealous. Green flag, right? Wrong.
He’s also broody, closed off, and so complex that it feels like I need a decoder to crack him. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met and fights like he came out of the womb swinging, taking down both my ex-boyfriend and an ex-UFC fighter with ease.
But the underground society at our college known as Double C has nothing on him in the secrets department, and it’s that mysterious edge that keeps me coming back for more.
This is more than the story of how Finn and I fell in love. This is proof that love has a learning curve. Sometimes you succeed, and sometimes… it destroys you.
Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to winning on and off the field… until he meets the one woman who changes the game.
2. PLAYING GAMES by Max Monroe
SYNOPSIS
Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic, and confident enough to make my teeth grind. He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge. Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda.
But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that I could put to the test a little more. I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all that attraction is nothing but science… and love is a mere figment of the imagination.
Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific.
Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.
3. THE FIFTEEN-MINUTE RULE by Max Monroe
SYNOPSIS
Campus legend. Life of the party. The guy everyone wants to know. That’s me—Ace Kelly. But the one person who truly knows me? Julia Brooks. My best friend since we were kids. Julia’s the kind of girl everyone loves. Sweet, painfully beautiful, and steady, she’s always been my constant. Somewhere between childhood and college at Dickson University, I fell for her. Hard. And I’ve been running an incognito mission ever since.
Operation: Make Julia fall in love with me... without ruining the friendship. Flawless plan, right? Wrong. One catastrophically stupid moment—fine, several—might’ve blown everything apart. We’ve always had our fifteen-minute rule: get mad, shout, hate each other all we want, but when the time is up, we’re back to best buddies. But this time, fifteen minutes might not be enough. Not when Julia’s trust and our entire lifetime of ‘us’ is suddenly on the line.
I’m in love with my best friend. And come hell or high water, I’m not giving up my girl without a fight.
