Oleander Springs

Hudson McKinley, starting quarterback for the Camden Knights, is preparing for the most crucial season of his college career when a familiar stranger returns, and his entire world gets turned upside down-or possibly, right side up. Evelyn Watts spent every summer of her childhood in Oleander Springs, escaping the orderly confines of her life and submerging herself into the chaos and fun found there. But those summers ended four years ago, and since then, new plans were paved-ones that required focus, discipline, and a new ending that didn't involve Oleander Springs... Until she drove those plans off the rails. Now Evelyn's back in Oleander Springs, Hudson's no longer looking at her like she's just a friend, and she realizes that childhood crushes evolve into adult fantasies. It was supposed to be a temporary return, but are they ready to make a play for more? USA Today bestselling author Mariah Dietz will have you swooning, laughing, and staying up late to finish this childhood friends-to-lovers sports romance!

Nolan Payne, wide receiver for the Camden Knights, isn't looking for anything serious. His focus is on football and convincing his sister and her roommates that his moving in was a good idea. Hadley Foster is facing the toughest challenge of her college career: public speaking. It's her kryptonite but a requirement for her future role with her family's company, so she's intent on overcoming her fear. And public speaking just so happens to be her new roommate's strong suit. And that's not all Nolan's good at. Their attraction turns into temptation, and they find a way not to break the house rules: friends with benefits. Technically, they're not dating. But as their feelings progress into something beyond casual, will they be ready to risk taking a new route? USA Today bestselling author Mariah Dietz delivers a delicious romance you don't want to miss!

Greyson Meyers can't afford the distraction of a relationship. His focus is on football and earning his degree to ensure his mom never has to work another day. Mila Atwool has it all together-at least, that's what everyone thinks. But after an incident fractured her safety and trust last year, Mila's been struggling to maintain appearances. The two strike a deal: Mila will pose as his girlfriend to make his life appear better balanced so he can earn a sponsorship, and in turn, Grey will train her in self-defense to help her rebuild a sense of security. Two and a half years of friendship ensured their fake relationship would be a safe bet-or so they thought. But what was a simmering tension quickly boils over, and both are terrified of getting burned. They realize this new zone may be impossible to escape unscathed.
