Crosby Rhodes is considered a god when it comes to Western Wildcats football. And who knows? Maybe he actually is one. There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment. They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices. That alone makes him catnip for the female species. Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about. Would I be included in that majority? Hell, no. As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die. The guy is a major jerk. Not to mention, a pain in my assets. And that’s putting it nicely. For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me. His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact. I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that. There’s only one more semester before graduation. Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows. That’s the hope, anyway. Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce. Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through? Nope. For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance. Except that turns out to be impossible. Everywhere I go, there he is. It’s like I can’t get away from him. More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice. If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flares to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’ve been burned by one athlete, I refuse to allow it to happen again. ----- “It's got heart, steamy chemistry, and one very likable heroine” -Valeen, GoodReads “It’s a rollercoaster of emotions you won’t be able to get rid off, not for a long time” -Lucy, GoodReads “Brooke and Crosby’s story is now my new favorite from the series” -Maddie, GoodReads “A satisfying read with an appealing heroine and a sexy hero who finds HEA after an angsty journey” -Jody, GoodReads “This was a light, fun story with secrets, romance and so much heart that I fell for Crosby just like Brooke did” -Sharon, GoodReads “An enemies to lovers that shows you that there is ALWAYS more than meets the eye” - Maddy, GoodReads Read the entire Campus Series Campus Player Campus Heartthrob Campus Flirt Campus Hottie Campus God Campus Legend Topics- New adult, new adult romance, sports romance, college romance, football romance, enemies-to-lovers, secret romance, secret identity, bad boy, love/hate, opposites attract, playboy, forbidden, best friend's ex-girlfriend, Campus Series.

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Sucevic comes a short, sexy story in the Campus Series. Know what the problem is with crushing on your best friend? That there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Especially if you don’t want to blow up your entire relationship. Easton is the guy I turn to when I need...well, just about everything. And what I’ve learned over the years is that friendship is more difficult to come by than hookups and boyfriends. Plus, it’s not like he sees me as anything other than his soccer playing gal pal. The one he used to sneak out of the house with when we were teenagers. But we’re not kids any more. At the end of this year, we’ll graduate and go our separate ways. Why that thought fills me with sadness, I don’t know. Actually, I do. And that’s the problem. So, when my roommate suggests going out with her hot, hockey playing cousin, it seems like the perfect opportunity to move on from this crush. According to her—and I quote—the best way to get over one guy is to get under— I’m pretty sure you know how the saying goes. *Campus Flirt is a short novella (20,000 words) that was originally published in the Let's Play anthology* ---- “This book is just right when I needed a smile” -Tracy, GoodReads “An amazing ending that will have you wanting to read the story all over again, because it is that incredible” -Brittany, GoodReads “The storyline between Easton and Sasha is a HEA that I needed right now” -Lori, GoodReads “Best friends to lovers… Easton realized his feelings for Sasha at the perfect time before it was too late” -M Mendes, GoodReads “The chemistry was great, I could feel their connection” -Rina, GoodReads “Easton’s your typical college jock who changes his ways when he starts seeing his best friend in a different light… A fun and cute quick read” -Shelley, GoodReads “Get ready to swoon wicked hard over Easton!

Have you ever noticed that the physical world works in certain ways? Skateboarders use force and motion to perform tricks. If you jump up as high as you can, you'll quickly fall back to the ground. Baseball players use gravity to bring the ball back down when they throw it. When you flip a switch, electricity powers your toaster. Rock bands use electricity to put on a show. The fascinating science of physics helps you understand why forces, motion, gravity, electricity, light, and sound work in predictable ways. Combining inquiry-based activities with physics topics, Physics: Investigate the Forces of Nature features graphic novel illustrations, fascinating sidebars, youtube links, and a glossary of important vocabulary to illuminate the complex world of physics and bring it to life. Projects include designing a skateboard park that maps the forces at work on the skateboarder and the skateboard, and creating a stage design for a rock band that places electric current where it is needed.

One girl’s heart gets rocked to the core in the first novel in this sexy New Adult series. Twenty-one-year-old front girl Emmylou knows that getting her band noticed in the ‘90s indie rock scene will be no easy task. She definitely knows better than to break the number one rule of the band: Don't sleep with your bandmates! But after she ends up having the best sex of her life with her guitarist, Travis, she finds following that rule is a lot harder than it sounds. When the band gets the gig of their dreams, making it big seems just within reach. But Emmy’s inability to keep her hands off Travis threatens everything they’ve worked for. Can Emmy find a way to break the rules and not blow the chance of a lifetime? “So full of voice I can nearly taste it. . . Emmylou is bursting with strength and inspiration and—bless her heart—genuine flaws. . . Travis is perfection: a bowl of sugar balanced in a set of long, naughty, guitar-playing fingers.”—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling authors of the Beautiful series Includes an exclusive preview of the next Hub City Romance from Mercy Brown
