"If you are ever lucky enough to come across something so beautiful it shifts your whole world, don't ever let that go." Beckett Davis: I've been in love with Bailey Connors since I was 7 years old and she gave me back my soccer ball. We've been neighbors for years, even sharing windows facing each other's bedrooms. Our families are close, I view her grandfather as my own. The only thing is, I still can't bring myself to say more than a few words to the girl who occupies most of my thoughts. Going into my last year of high school, I needed the chance to have my world shifted by Bailey Connors. Bailey Connors: I broadcasted my crush on Beckett Davis in the 2nd grade after decorating him a cookie. And every time after that when I can't control how my face heats around him. My grandfather adores the boy next door, and who doesn't? I'm embarrassed of how long it took me to reach for things I may want, instead of just letting things happen to me. Beckett's seen some of my worst moments from afar, but what would it be like for him to see them up close? #1 in bookworm #1 in highschoolromance #1 in foundfamily #1 in goldenretriever #1 in neighbors #1 in teenromance #1 in friendstolovers

"Something 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman." - *Dangerous Woman*, Ariana Grande . . . . . . . . . . There are girls who are raised to behave. And then there are girls who learn how to 'survive'. ELENA RADCLIFFE wears perfection like armour. Polished smiles. Impeccable manners. A life curated carefully enough to hide the truths that could ruin her. Behind closed doors, she guards secrets sharp enough to cut anyone who gets too close - including herself. She is careful. She is controlled. She is not as harmless as she looks. KAI MURPHY has never cared about control. Reckless, dangerous, and magnetic in all the wrong ways, he moves through the world like he has nothing to lose - because maybe he doesn't. Rules bore him. Boundaries tempt him. And consequences have never stopped him before. When their worlds collide in England, 2005, it isn't subtle. It isn't kind. It isn't safe. Hate sparks desire. Temptation ignites obsession. And lines that should never be crossed blur beyond recognition. Every secret threatens to unravel. Every glance pulls them closer. And some fires aren't meant to be tamed - only fed. Because in a game built on lies, control, and forbidden attraction, nothing stays untouched. And no one walks away unchanged. . . . . . . . . . . He was never meant to see behind her mask. She was never meant to want the danger he represents. But the most dangerous women aren't born - they're 'provoked'.

"Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before." - *Breathe Me*, Sia . . . . . . . . . . Some loves hurt. Some loves scar. And some loves leave bruises you learn to hide. AURORA has already learned the cost of trusting the wrong person. She's careful now. Guarded. Built from walls and sharp edges, stitched together with survival and stubbornness. Love, to her, is something that breaks - not something that stays. And then there's THEO. Infuriating. Impossible. Too perceptive for his own good. He sees the cracks she pretends aren't there. The softness she buries. The fear she refuses to name. He is her storm - loud, reckless, relentless. She is his shelter - quiet, steady, the place he doesn't know how to deserve. Every fight pulls them apart. Every stolen moment pulls them closer. Every heartbeat risks shattering what little they have left intact. Because when the past refuses to loosen its grip, when love feels like standing too close to the flame, sometimes the only way forward... ...is to set yourself on fire. . . . . . . . . . . He never meant to fall this hard. She never meant to let him in. But some hearts don't break quietly. They bruise. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."

A shy high school senior jock and a closed-off girl battling an immune disorder fake a relationship to win a social media contest. Being shy isn't easy, especially when you're the new kid at school. Scotts Valley's football program is subpar compared to my last school's team, but the starters underestimate my all-conference skills. Girls eye me like fresh meat. Mom's cooking has the fire department on speed dial, and her game cheering makes me want to crawl under the bleachers. In the middle of all this stress, I'm still so tongue-tied that I can't talk to anyone. Scotts Valley High's 'Golden Couple' competition-which I want no part of-grates my nerves. I want to play football and baseball, then continue whatever gets me a college scholarship. Only Paige treats me as a normal person. People at school say she's quiet and closed-off, but she's nice to me. She's hiding her awesome self under baggy clothes and the brightest, pinkest hair I've ever seen. I don't understand why she's picked on, and I don't like it. Her medical bills are mounting, so I'm doing something about it. Paige and I pretend to date to remove ourselves from the rumor mill and win the Golden Couple's cash prize. What I don't expect is to catch feelings for my 'first trust,' the first friend I can open up to and be myself around...my girl Paige.
