\\Strong Side is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance. It will be book one in the Palm University Series. \\ Clayton Aldrich is everything I’m not, and everything I despise. He’s rich, never had to work for anything a day in his perfect life, is the pretty boy on campus, and is always doing everything he can to get under my skin. But when we’re forced to become partners I have no choice but to set my predisposed feelings for him aside. However, as the season progresses, two things become abundantly clear. There’s more to Clay than meets the eye, and my feelings for him don’t appear to be so black and white. My entire life has been mapped out for me since the day I was born. Major in business, dedicate every moment of spare time to volleyball, win the Olympics, and when the time comes, take over my father’s company. And the only part of that plan that didn’t make my skin crawl was playing the sport I loved. Rockwell Campos, the infuriatingly cynical man I feel an inexplicable draw toward whenever he’s near, thinks he has me all figured out. But, when we unexpectedly become partners our senior year, Rocky shows me there’s more to life than sacrificing who you are and who you want to be in order to be part of a family. Sometimes the families we find are stronger than the ones born in blood. The two of us may share the same goal, but the question remains… is our strong side, strong enough?

I knew from the moment I saw him moving into the house down the street. I knew that a man like Jackson Baker was going to be the one to turn my world upside down. I saw it coming a mile away. But what I didn’t see coming was finding out he is one of my patients at my brand new job. I know it’s wrong. I know it’s against the rules. I know it could destroy the white picket fence that’s being thrust upon me, and yet... chasing Jackson Baker is a high I can’t seem to quit. Theodore Young. My neighbor. My Athletic Trainer. My every waking thought. My addiction. I should be spending my fifth year at Palm University—my second chance at the perfect senior year—making memories with friends, being the team captain everyone is counting on, and setting myself up for a career after college, and yet, the only thing I can think about is him. Watching him. Touching him. Kissing him. He’s everywhere and nowhere all at once. But it’s not enough. Because he’s not mine and I know I can’t have him. And yet, whenever I look into his eyes I know... THE GAME HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
