I tapped my pen onto my desk with anticipation. Why did I deserve to meet One Direction? I stared at my lifeless paper. The question kept skipping through my mind like a broken record player. Why did I, Cher Marie Lovett, deserve to meet One Direction? Lots of ideas swirled my mind, but one caught my attention. Without thinking twice, I scribbled onto the paper, “So I can lick Liam Payne's abs.” I know what you're thinking. That's probably the dumbest reason ever. But, hey, it was 100 percent truthful and its not like they're gonna read it anyways. Pretty pleased with my idea from God, I skipped over to Mrs. Richards’ desk and slammed down my masterpiece. “I'm finished,” I smirked with a mouthful of victory. Little did I know that a simple, ‘I'm finished’ would be my biggest regret yet.

(Watty Awards Finalist - Trailer inside) My life is far from normal. I may act like a normal teenage girl during the day, but I'm the most fearful street racer the moment the night falls. The thing is that nobody knows I'm a girl. In their eyes I'm just a guy who has a talent for street racing. My whole world turns upside down when Blaze, my sworn enemy, finds out my secret. That, my friend, is the very moment that hell breaks loose.

"Why don't you speak?" That's the question that everybody asks Julia Swing, a selective mute with a tragic past. Ever since her parents were killed she has never spoken a word to anybody and expressed herself through ballet, the only thing she had passion for. She's been from foster home to foster home, growing up sad, lonely and most of all... silenced. But what happens when she bumps into Zayn Malik, 1/5 of One Direction and steals his heart with one shy glance and a single timid smile? As they experience the ups and downs of creating a couple with a muted girl and a famous boy, one question comes to mind: Will he heal this broken, silent ballerina and seize her heart? Or will she slip from his grasp?

When good meets bad and turns into firing red of love. Like two chemicals creating a new bond or explosion. You know, opposites attract. Like Harry Styles and Darcy Wilde.

Thea Hartens never liked too much attention. And that's only one of her many fears. This story started when Thea receives a letter saying that she got invited to the Sophomore Year's Leadership Training Seminar. She really got shocked when she found out she was chosen to be the participant of such seminar. Well, she was MORE shocked when she knew who her seminary partner is. That day has been such a bittersweet moment. The first time that Seth Deavon spoke to her, Thea knew every single day with him was going to be hell. He was annoying--correction: very annoying, uber stubborn and a hell of a jerk. Wait, did I mention he has an ego the size of Canada? But everytime they're together, something happens--either they're laughing together, Thea's crying or Thea feels the butterflies in her stomach going crazy (*wink*). Two entirely different people will have to trust each other and the first step of gaining their trust is being friends. And I tell you, Seth is not good at making friends--especially if it's a girl. But what do they say? Sometimes, things changes and everything has a reason. And we all have to take a risk. So live, laugh and love with Thea Hartens in her crazy life with Seth Deavon in This Bad Boy I'm With.

Alpha's aren't all that. Trust me.

{book 1} ✓ - ❝ Once upon a time… Wait, are you shitting me? This story doesn’t start like this. On the contrary! This story is about a girl who thought had enough of men but, of course, her words backfired on her face. Yeah, this girl is me. An average girl… Okay, not so average, more insane, I would say. Whatever. This is my story and if you want to know what happened, keep reading, because it all started with an eating contest. ❞

Ivy is a poor, misunderstood girl who isn't afraid to stick up for herself. The Lost Boys are four wealthy boys that are used to getting whatever they want. Mix them together, and the results could be disastrous. Neverland Academy is an intimidating private school for wealthy teens only. This is the last place Ivy wants to go to school, but it's either a snooty school with snobby kids or a military school with a bunch of troublemakers. Ivy is lucky enough to go to the school on a scholarship, but that doesn't mean that she or the other students are happy about it. With her almost fearless outer persona, her true fragile personality hidden, she catches The Lost Boys' attentions right away, and she isn't sure if that's a good thing. She's about to find out how tough she really isn't.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
