Frat Brats of Santa Barbara

Caleb: Nobody ever looks past the mask I wear. Not until I meet Jayden Harris, the adorably bossy scholarship student with a razor-sharp focus and an unbreakable determination to be the best of us all. He says he doesn't have time for dating. He says I'm just a player. If I could prove to him that I'm worth falling in love with, he might change his mind. But asking him to be my fake boyfriend for a massive family gathering probably wasn't my greatest idea. We're a lost cause, but I just can't let him go. Jayden: It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing. Before I know it, I'm in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents. I'm risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. But there's more to him than I imagined. I'm doing my best to convince everyone that we're a couple. But maybe I'd be wise to remind myself that we are not. Contains mature themes.

Mateo: My life is nothing like a fairytale. Weighed down by duty and constantly watched, I hope to find a little freedom at Highgate. Nobody knows who I really am; the Andalonian Heir Apparent. Not even the embarrassingly handsome Joshua Sterling. He makes falling in love effortless. He makes me believe in fairytales. With every lie I speak, I bury myself deeper. Whenever I miss a chance to tell him who I am, I lose him more. And when I love him the most, a disaster strikes. Joshua: Trailed by his bodyguards and deliciously strange, Mateo Garcia is like nobody I've ever crossed paths with. I've crossed paths with plenty of hot guys. Not a single one of them looked past what I was ready to show. Not like Mateo. But when he touches my wildest desires and the promise of a little happiness is too sweet to resist, I discover that he's nothing like what he said. He is a prince suffocated by tradition and expectations. And what does that make me? A rebellious experiment and a college flame. Maybe I'm better off living the way I used to. Maybe a pretty face and a hot body is all I'm worth. But his departure rips a hole in my chest that no amount of hookups could fill. Contains mature themes.

London: Of all the guys in the world, I just had to fall hopelessly and irreparably in love with my twin sister's boyfriend. Gabriel is also a dork, but he's a hot as all hell dork. But he's straight. He shouldn't attract me the way he does. And did I mention they've been dating for two years? And when my genius of a sister comes up with a bulletproof plan to help me pass my exams by convincing Gabriel to tutor me, I discover that my big, beautiful dork hides a secret even more ruinous than my own. The way he looks at me when we're alone is almost all I've ever dreamed of. Gabriel I'm a hot mess and he's off limits. We are a disaster in the making. I can't say no to tutoring London. It would look like I'm hiding something, which I'm totally not. He crawls under my skin before I know it. He fills my mind with his rosy lips, high cheekbones, and sculped muscles. His male muscles, which I totally don't like. Except, when I'm alone, letting him into my thoughts is a comfort I desperately need. The more I'm with him, the more I see I might be dating the wrong twin. There's no happy ending for anyone here. Unless I own up to the truth: London is all I ever wanted. Contains mature themes.

Theo: He's the most infuriating, immature frat brat I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. He's also the guy I dumped in high school when I realized I was straight. And he just so happens to be the intern at his dad's company; the very same one I work for. A terrible misunderstanding puts Justin Lewis into my care. I'm supposed to teach him how his father's business works. But he's determined to do it the hard way. Four years ago, after breaking his heart, I experienced what Justin's hatred could do. He ruined the final weeks of high school for me. He scared me into skipping my prom night. No more. If only he wasn't so irresistible. Justin: It was supposed to be simple; do the internship, make Dad happy, and go away to lick my wounds. I'm sick of the way I live, but a terrible breakup from four years ago still haunts me. Until I start my internship and discover there's Theo Wright in my office. The guy hates me, and I know why. But I hate him just as much. If I'm going to earn my ticket out, I need to do this internship. And Theo just so happens to be the only thing to help me pass the time. Annoying him is my new, favorite hobby. Until I take it a step too far. Contains mature themes.
