Her brother's best friend broke her heart, but what happens when his new teammate wants to put it back together?

Arianna Johnson has been dreaming of what college life might bring, and it's finally coming over the horizon as she and her friends plan one last beachside summer together. So much has changed over the years, but there's always been one constant. The boy her heart returns to no matter where her imagination runs: her brother's best friend, Chase.

This is the summer she'll finally tell him how she feels. That it's him. It's always been him.

Until suddenly, it isn't.

Ari's heart is in splinters when she meets star quarterback Noah Riley. His friendship is exactly what she needs after Chase's rejection, but from the start, Noah wants more. Even when their path is blurry, even when tragedy strikes, even when Ari doesn't know her own heart, Noah will fight for the feelings he knows they both have…no matter what it might cost them.

They say first love lasts forever. Ari is about to find out if that's really true.

Meagan Brandy

When Meagan Brandy steps into a story, she doesn’t just tell it — she cracks it open and lets readers fall straight through the heart of it. Known for her fiercely emotional New Adult and sports romance novels, Brandy has built a passionate following drawn to the raw intensity and imperfect beauty of her characters’ journeys.

Growing up under the California sun, Meagan was the kind of reader who lived a thousand lives through books long before she ever dreamed of writing one. It wasn’t until she became a mother — balancing the chaos of raising three boys and countless weekends on the sidelines of sports fields — that storytelling found its way from a quiet dream into late-night writing sessions, fueled by Starbucks runs and sheer determination.

Since releasing her debut, Fumbled Hearts, in 2017, Brandy has made her mark with stories that refuse to play by the rules. Series like Brayshaw High and Boys of Avix have earned her spots on the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists, but it's her signature voice — wild, vulnerable, and unapologetically real — that keeps readers coming back. Whether she’s crafting the high-stakes loyalty of Boys of Brayshaw High or the slow-burn ache of Fake It ‘Til You Break It, Meagan brings a visceral authenticity to every relationship, every heartbreak, every second chance.

Her writing dives deep into themes of resilience, loyalty, redemption, and the messy, beautiful chaos of falling in love — often set against the backdrop of sports arenas, tight-knit communities, and unbreakable bonds. Each book is a reminder that love isn't always clean or easy, but it’s always worth it.

Today, when she's not lost in a fictional world or plotting her next emotional rollercoaster, Meagan Brandy can be found cheering on her sons, sneaking in quiet moments with a notebook, and living the kind of full, fierce life her characters would be proud of.

Boys of Avix

At Avix University, the future shines bright—but not without shadows. Boys of Avix invites readers into a world where loyalty and love run dangerously deep, and the moments that define us are often the ones we least expect. With her signature blend of emotional intensity and slow-burning tension, Meagan Brandy carves out a space where college life is more than parties and promises—it's a battlefield for the heart.

Each book in the series offers a raw, deeply personal glimpse into lives shaped by grief, second chances, and the fight to trust again. From the fierce tangle of friendships tested by love in Say You Swear, to the quiet resilience of rebuilding a life in Promise Me Not, the stories unfolding at Avix are never neat or easy—but they are always unforgettable.

Through characters who bleed authenticity and relationships that refuse to follow a straight line, Boys of Avix captures the ache of growing up and the reckless hope of falling in love when everything feels at stake. It's not just about who these characters are now—it's about who they dare to become when the past won't let them go.

For readers drawn to romance novels packed with emotional grit, messy beginnings, and the sweet ache of redemption, the world of Avix is a place you'll want to lose yourself in—and maybe, just maybe, find a little piece of yourself along the way.


Boys of Avix consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
