Book 1 of The Fly Series . . . Ten years ago, Elena Summer's life crashed on a rain-slick road. Her mother didn't make it out, nor did her memories. Now, she's coming back to Cadford, the town her family fled overnight, the one that feels too familiar for a place she can't remember. Everyone here seems to know her story. Everyone but her. Then there's Justin Castor, Cadford's most notorious enigma. Beautiful. Brilliant. Brutal. He doesn't believe in redemption, and she doesn't believe in coincidences. Yet somehow, their paths keep colliding like fate has unfinished business. As fragments of Elena's past start resurfacing, she begins to realize the truth isn't lost, it's just been buried. And Justin might be the only one who knows why. In Cadford, every story bleeds into a secret. Every mystery untangles the past. But the past is never meant to be revisited. A dark, slow-burning story about love, loss, rage, and the monsters that grief can create. Welcome to the world of Firefly! 𓆤 Trigger Warnings: PTSD | Trauma | Abusive Language | Violence This story contains Mature Sex Scenes

*Being Published in 2022* ❝You can't deny that you're attracted to me, Nyx. Instead of fighting it, let's see what happens,❞ he grumbled, hands roaming my body. His thumb brushed my bottom lip. ❝Open up for me, baby.❞ -------------------------------------------------------- Nyx just can't seem to escape her eternal night, the very darkness she was named after. She tries to play her cards right, however, the outcome is a paradox. Whilst she obtains the results she wanted, it comes at the expense of some of her relationships. Angry at the world, her hatred is ravenous for none other than Beckham Hunt, captain of the ice hockey team. Beckham loathes Nyx Taylor after what she's done, that much he is certain of. Nobody boils his blood as she does and when she's hired to assist his team during championship season, he discerns that there's more to her story than meets the eye. She was always the villain in his story. But, suddenly she's the plot twist he never saw coming. Each glare and scowl and insult piles up, put under tremendous pressure by their mutual hatred. Yet, peeking through their fury clouded vision, they find the centre of their relationship blazing. Like two rival stars gravitating towards each other, Nyx and Beckham can do nothing when the law of attraction forces them to accept that passion doesn't always mean hatred, but perhaps something more.

Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy.

Tutoring the Bad Boy. ~~ He smirked. "Whoops! Look who has read 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me getting kinky is almost every guys dream. I knew you had hidden desires! All the shy ones do." I blushed a little. "No! I don't have any hidden desires." The image of me and Bryan on a bed, with no clothes and handcuffs and ties entering my head. I shook my head vigorously. Hell no! That ain't happening in another millennium. Instantly trying to change the topic, I glanced at my bucket list and then at him. "What are you teaching me?" I asked, fear already gripping me like ivy. He smirked evilly. "How to be a badass." ~~ Once in a while, in the middle of life, love gives us a fairytale. And some fairytale love stories are completely unexpected and thus more memorable. No one expected the class president and the leader of Trouble Triggers to even talk about anything but notes and pencils. But then fate's a bitch and loves to meddle! Their life changes drastically when the good girl- Joanna Williams has to tutor the bad boy- Bryan Cooper. Along with the tutoring comes constant fun, too much bickering, lame jokes, scary sarcasm, idiotic friends, too many unknown emotions, jungles in tummy, bucket lists, unheard secrets and haunting pasts. Maybe some fairytales don't have a happy ending... or do they? (A/N: Contains a lot of 'F' words and grammatical mistakes. Don't say you weren't warned.)

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance

[COMPLETED] WARNING: I wrote this when I was in high school, which was about seven/eight years ago. That reflects so much in the writing of this book. Best friends Ellie Nichols and Colton Davis were inseparable all their lives. They stuck by each other throughout middle school and high school, all the way until they were accepted into separate colleges. Colton was offered a full scholarship for football while Ellie wanted to stay closer to home at a smaller community college. They had promised to stay in touch, but all promises are made to be broken. They lose contact and the only way Ellie sees her best friend anymore is watching him play on t.v. But all of that changes when Ellie's counselor gives her a big surprise, a letter of acceptance to the same school where Colton plays football. But with Ellie the teams athletic trainer, will it bring her closer to her best friend, or will something come between them? #15 Teen Fiction 9/23/2015

I suddenly crashed to the floor, my papers flying everywhere "Watch where you're going, Jesus!" The middle one said and kept walking. "Hey, asshole! Didn't anyone ever teach you not to be rude to someone you just met?" They all turned around and walked up to me "what did you just say?" The middle one asked "wow, rude and deaf...what a combo" I said "listen bitch, I don't know who you are but you better watch out" I felt my fists clenching at the mention of the word bitch. You want bitch? You got it. ***** There's only one word that can be used to describe Isabella June Evans and that is mysterious. Behind her smile is a sadness, her bright eyes hide the void within her. No one knows. No one sees. Behind closed doors, she fights but on the outside, she's a 17-year-old who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for her, it's her rosy pink lips, pale skin, black hair, feisty attitude and the secrets she hides behind her eyes that attract them and rope them in until they can't let go. Specifically, that one particular blue-eyed, brown-haired boy that seems to be the only one who can see her for who she truly is. Tyler McAdams. What could possibly go wrong when the worlds' two most stubborn people cross paths? What happens when you fight fire with fire? They say you get burned, but what if there's more to it? *COVER CREDIT GOES TO @pixiee14* HIGHEST RANKINGS No. 1 in highschoolexperience No. 11 in Teen No. 44 in Teen Fiction No. 3 in Teen Love No. 1 in Dark Past No. 7 in Teen Love
