Weekly Spotlight
January 2, 2026
Breaking eye contact on the fifty-yard line would’ve been smart. Instead, I saw him—pom-poms, perfect smile, and the only boy I’ve ever loved.
Eli
Football is my future, and nothing can shake me.
Until Wren Lewis shows up on the Spirit Squad.
My high school boyfriend.
The one I lost because I stayed silent when he needed me most.
Now he’s back, flipping across my field, and I’ll do anything to prove I’ve changed.
I’ve spent four years wishing I could undo that day.
I’ll earn his trust back inch by inch.
Flowers, apologies, and maybe a kiss I’ve been starving for since our senior year of high school.
Wren
I swore I’d never forgive him.
One silence shattered us.
Then fate sticks us on the same sidelines, the same flights, the same hotel lobbies.
And he shows up with apologies I didn’t ask for…and a smile I never forgot.
But Eli is relentless—bigger, steadier, and still looking at me like I’m his whole world.
I want to resist. I need to.
But one slow dance, one stolen touch, and my walls start to crumble.
I crave the man who held me like I was everything.

The Night We Fell
by E.M. Lindsey
The night I fell from grace was also the night I fell for him.
The high: Going from the lead singer in an unknown garage band to one of the most well-known rock groups in the span of six years is not something I ever saw coming. But here I am…
Famous.
Lonely.
Miserable.
The crest: Realizing that the man I’m with might be a narcissist is a tough pill to swallow because leaving him will involve a very public break-up.
The fall: One reckless decision, a drunk driver, and a mountain of ice on the roads changes the trajectory of my life forever, but not necessarily for the worst. Because he was there. My guardian angel. The man with the soft voice and the warm hands who kept me from losing myself.
But in the process of keeping me together, I lost him to the chaos, and when I come to, I don’t even remember his name.
Only, a year later, something rises to the surface of those foggy, pain-filled memories.
A face.
An island.
A promise.
I’m not sure I have any strength left for hope, but if I find him again, we will have one week to make this happen. I don’t know if there’s any room for love once reality sets in, but for the first time in a long, long while, I’m ready to take a risk.
Worth The Risk
by C.F. White
The past is never buried. Confronting it, though, that’s the biggest risk.
Jude Ellison thought he’d escaped him. A new town, a quiet job, two years of hard-earned peace. But when his abusive ex walks free on early release, Jude finds himself trapped all over again. Only this time, the bruises are invisible. Callum Reid never needed fists to destroy him. He only needed time.
Warren Bailey is the new PE teacher at Worthbridge Secondary. Or so everyone thinks. In truth, he’s an undercover officer sent to dismantle a trafficking network tied to Jude’s ex. Warren’s job is to stay detached. To watch, listen, and wait.
But the moment he meets Jude, detachment stops being an option.
​
What starts as surveillance quickly spirals into something far more dangerous: a bond Warren never expected, and a desire he can’t ignore. As Callum tightens his hold, Warren must decide between the mission he’s sworn to uphold and the man he can’t let go.
Because Jude isn’t the target. He’s the reason Warren is willing to risk everything.
In Worthbridge, tensions are reaching breaking point.
And some loves are worth breaking every rule for.
