Book 1 in the "Life in-" series Scarlett Rain Rhodes is just like every other 17 year old high school Junior. She goes to school, makes good grades, cheers on her schools squad and tries to stay out of drama. What makes her different is the fact that she is responsible for taking care of her four siblings after her parents passed in a car crash two years ago. Now her life consists of football games, doctors appointments and a whole lot of yelling. After spending two years of trying to keep every person she meets at arms length what will she do when the new guy just can't take a hint? Ashton McClain is charming, arrogant and extremely good looking. He's a perfect guy and he seems hellbent of getting to know the real Scarlett. Not the girl who smiles politely when people talk to her and remains quiet in the back of the classroom. He wants to know the girl who talks nonstop and yells obscenities at bad referees. The problem is that after two years Scarlett doesn't know if she's able to confront that side of her without completely falling apart. * This story is completed * * WON A 2019 CHICK LIT FICTION AWARD Hit 1 Million Reads (2/19/19) Hit 2 Million Reads (4/03/19) Hit 3 Million Reads (6/04/19) Hit 4 Million Reads (7/09/19) Hit 5 Million Reads (8/17/19) Hit 6 Million Reads (11/20/19) Hit 7 Million Reads (1/26/20) Hit 8 Million Reads (4/10/20) Hit 9 Million Reads (5/23/20) Hit 10 Million Reads (8/28/20) #1 in General Fiction (2/05/19) #2 in Fiction (4/10/20) #4 in Humor (1/15/19) #18 in Teen Fiction (3/05/19) #3 in ChickLit (12/22/18) #1 in Drama (4/19/20) #4 in Young Adult (3/15/19) #6 in Teen Romance (1/15/19) #1 in Football (12/ 03/18) #1 in Loss (1/03/19) #1 in Adorable (1/10/19) #19 in Romance (6/18/19) #1 in Teen Love (11/13/19)

Jovie Rawlings is many things but in control is not one of them. She's arrogant, loud, sassy, the biggest flirt you've ever met and proud to say she's never had a relationship. Oh, and she's allergic to the entire planet. Yes, God truly hates her. At 17, she's faced with more stress than anyone should deem sane. Her father's gone, her mom's working herself to death and her twin brothers best friend won't leave her the hell alone. However, when a new boy moves next door everything seems to fall into place. Maybe Jovie can finally "grow up." Maybe she can finally make a relationship work. Maybe she'll finally share the real reason why she's afraid to go to college. But, maybe she'll learn that in the end things never are as they seem. ***** Winner of the 2020 Fiction Awards!

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038

He was the boy that no one noticed. He was quiet, bland to the naked eye, a total wallflower who sat on the sidelines and lacked in eye contact with those around him though he had the type of eyes that made you feel like you could drown. He tried his best to blend into the background, but what he didn't know was that he was the only one that caught my eye. He was the most intriguing person I had ever laid eyes on even though he couldn't see me. He couldn't see anything.
