- The Deal (2015). Hannah Wells needs help making a guy jealous; hockey captain Garrett Graham needs a tutor. They make a deal.
- The Mistake (2015). Player John Logan and freshman Grace Ivers.
- The Score (2016). Allie Hayes, Hannah's best friend, and charming Dean Di Laurentis.
- The Goal (2016). Ambitious Sabrina James and steady John Tucker.
- The Legacy (2019). Novellas following all four couples after college.
Does the order matter?
Each book is a complete romance with its own couple, so you could read any one alone. But the earlier couples keep appearing, and later books spoil earlier relationships, so publication order gives you the most.
The spin-offs
- Briar U (2019-2020): The Chase, The Risk, The Play and The Dare, following the next generation at Briar.
- Campus Diaries (2023 onward): starting with The Graham Effect, about Garrett and Hannah's grown-up daughter Gigi, then The Dixon Rule.

Should you read before watching?
Not necessary, but the books are short and fast, and fans usually say the show makes more sense of side characters if you've read them. Note that they're explicit adult romances.
