I should have checked the fine print. Then I never would have―quite literally―bumped into Levi Hart moments before he dropped trou in class.He can turn up the charm all he wants―I’m not fooling around with the guy that starred in a sex tape circulating campus (and no, I didn’t watch it. Much). Even if the more he takes his clothes off , the more it turns me on , it’s not happening.Levi is no stranger to nudity.Yes, I was in that video. But I’m trying to put that behind me, which is why I’m doing this modeling gig. Now, I just need to convince Rylie Stone to overlook my past mistakes… and maybe not run away every time I get naked.Rylie can deny it all she wants, but I’ve seen how she stares at my body. She wants me. And I want her. So I’m pulling out all the stops (and taking off all my shirts) until she realizes just how much fun can be had when you go after what you want.---FOOL AROUND is Book One in the MAIN DESIRE series. It is a full-length standalone new adult college romance featuring twerking leopards, steamy shenanigans with a shirtless football player, and lots of cat -astrophically bad puns. less

Spencer Armstrong has a reputation on campus―for bar brawls, a bad attitude, and boundless booty calls. I can’t stand him. Which means he’s perfect to get me past this post-break-up dating slump.One night is all I need. One intense, passionate night…that doesn’t go according to plan. Spencer’s advice? I won’t be over my ex unless I “bang out” all thoughts of him (his words, not mine)―with Spencer. Repeatedly. As often as possible. Until he’s the one I can’t stop thinking about.Spencer doesn’t do repeats.Kennedy Walsh is an uptight goody-two-shoes who avoids trouble like the plague―so I should’ve known something was up when she approached me. I should say hell no to her stupid plan, but the idea of melting this ice princess is too tempting to turn down. It’s enough to make me forget my no-girl-twice policy.But now I can’t stop at one night. While Kennedy needs to “bang out” her ex from her system (she said it first, not me), I need to kick her out of mine. Because the more time we spend together―in and out of bed―the more I rethink my policy. That maybe one girl, all the time, is really all I need. less

Pretend to be my boyfriend, and he gets a spot in my rich daddy’s engineering program. Until then, I’ll ignore that I’ve got the hots for his smug grin and sharp mind―the one that makes me want to spill all my secrets instead. Including that I’m falling for him. Hard.Grayson just knows everything.Vinegar and baking soda. Sodium and water. Gunpowder and fire. Summer Prescott and me. Do you know what these things all have in common? Reactive chemistry. All things that, when mixed together, erupt. But as much as I love a good bang, that level of combustion can be…distracting.I can’t afford distractions. And Summer, with her nosy nature and generous curves and all those secrets I don’t know, is the ultimate distraction. Yet, I need that internship. So I’ll fake-date her, and I’ll ignore that I’d like to know her. In more ways than one. Because if we get together, for real―that’s waiting for an explosion on an entirely catastrophic level.
