The fourth interconnected standalone in the universe of TikTok sensation Say You Swear, from USA Today bestselling author Meagan Brandy. Full of angst, heat, and set against the background of college football, this series is perfect for fans of Chloe Walsh, L.J. Shen, and Elle Kennedy.

On the outside, it looks like I've got it all together. I'm killing it on the football field, pushing harder than ever before and breaking league records.

But on the inside, I'm a mess, the pressure of the game too much, the betrayal from someone I trusted weighing me down with every breath.

I'm drowning and there's no one to pull me up.

Until her.

I tried to stay away, to keep my distance so I wouldn't ruin us both, but I was powerless against her.

She's everything I didn't know I wanted and more than I could ever deserve.

That right there is how I knew I couldn't keep her, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with her.

Just when I think maybe I'm becoming the man I want to be, my world comes crashing down around me, and I'm faced with a choice that has the power to break us both.

Suddenly, I'm right back where I started.

I'm the guy with nothing to give―and she's the girl who deserves the world.

Meagan Brandy

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.
