Friday night lights. Bitter rivals. One secret that could ruin everything.Noah: My life has one playbook: win the scholarship, save my family, and never show a single crack in the armor. Then I'm forced into a PR nightmare—planning the fall festival with Maya Torres. She's the head cheerleader for our rivals, and she looks at me like I'm everything wrong with the world. She's not wrong.Maya: My escape plan is flawless: graduate, get into my dream school, and never look back at this town or its football obsession. My first obstacle? Being shackled to Noah Price, the star quarterback who embodies everything I hate. He's supposed to be my enemy, not the one person who sees the real me.Under the Friday night lights, our rivalry is legendary. But in the quiet moments between stolen glances and secret meetings, we discover a truth that could destroy us both: the person we're supposed to hate might be the only one who truly understands. Our ambition got us this far, but is our authenticity worth more than the win?

He said he wants to do bad things to me…very bad things.The first time I met single dad Weston Vaughn, I thought it was my meet cute.I was in Paris looking to start over and he was right in the path of my hot coffee.But it turns out, my knight in shining armor was just a grumpy billionaire in a custom suit.After a nightmare year of losing not only my fiancé and my mother, I'm in desperate need of a fresh start.And what better way than to land a teaching job at the prestigious Crestwood Academy in Chicago.Imagine my surprise though when the handsome stranger I accidentally assaulted in front of the Eiffel Tower, turns out to be the father of one of my students.The same stranger that made me miss my flight back home from Paris and is now standing in my classroom lecturing me.He might be devilishly handsome, but no amount of good looks can make up for his arrogant and bossy attitude.It takes everything I have to plaster on a smile and deal with his antics but the school is in desperate need of his participation in our annual silent auction and I'm tasked with getting him on board.But when he shows up on my doorstep, desperate for a babysitter, I agree…if only that was the last favor he demands of me.Next thing I know, I'm flying to the Bahamas on a private jet with him and his daughter and sailing off into the sunset on his private yacht.Soon our back and forth banter goes from scorching jabs to fiery passion.He pushes my boundaries in ways I never imagined, ways that have me ready to throw caution to the wind and jump in with both feet.And while falling in love again is the furthest thing from my mind, a summer fling might be just what I need.Instead, I'm flung right into some dangerous drama that sees me getting fired from my dream job and shadows from Weston's past reappearing.So when I decide I need space and a fresh start, he gives me one week before he shows up at my apartment and demands we stay together.One thing I've learned about Weston Vaughn, he doesn't negotiate.He gets what he wants, no matter the cost.Even if what he wants is me pregnant.Very Bad Things is a complete standalone billionaire romance with LOTS of HOT romance, drama and a moody bossy billionaire that gets what he wants.

He's the scandal-tainted quarterback with everything to prove. She's the coach's daughter who wants nothing to do with the game—until him.Mila MooreAnother summer ending.Another semester about to start.And another football season kicking off with my usual lack of enthusiasm.As the only daughter to the head coach at the University of Hunton, and the sister to the star running back on the team, my quota for all things football is exhausted. I ran out of caring about the sport years ago, but I support how important it is to them. So long as I mind my own business, make sure my dad doesn't overwhelm himself with stress, and study hard, I'll be well on my way to graduating in a couple of years to get a teaching job and eventually start a family with a nice, normal, decent guy.A guy who won't be at all connected to the psychotic fandom that the world of football demands.All I know is that as the fall approaches, I will most definitely not be interested in the cocky quarterback who is transferring over to play for Hunton U.Jackson GrantAnother school campus to learn.Another list of new drills and plays to memorize.And another established team to fit in with and be counted as one of the players who belonged.Moving over as a sophomore with a lot of promise and a knack for never losing, I hate that I come with baggage, too. I escaped the worst of a betting and cheating scandal at my former college. I didn't do anything wrong. But according to Sam Moore, Hunton's all-star champion who detests me at first sight, I'm worthless and untrustworthy.It's not going to be easy for me, paranoid that someone will sabotage me again. It won't be fun, taking crap from the senior players who assume I'm an outsider who can't be a leader on the field.All I'm confident about is my goal to focus and play my best. There's no room in my schedule for partying or entertaining a long list of girls who want a piece of me—which means I shouldn't have any trouble avoiding any thoughts about Coach's infuriatingly stubborn daughter who is supposed to be off-limits to me. AGAINST THE RULES SERIES•Book 1 - Player•Book 2 - Comeback•Book 3 - Clutch A three-book sports romance series where love, rivalry, and secrets collide—and not every answer comes until the final play.
