Seventh-grader Alexa Hart's world is defined by loss and loneliness. Her mother is gone, her brother lies in a coma, and her father offers nothing but neglect. At school, she's friendless and relentlessly bullied-especially by Blake-and at home, her father's new marriage saddles her with five stepbrothers who openly despise her. As Alexa's isolation and despair deepen, the question looms: can she ever find a path to happiness, or is she destined to remain trapped in misery? Note: This story contains swearing, abuse, self-harm, depression, and other sensitive topics.

{Sequel to Broken} Alexa Hart's life has been a string of tragedies, but for a brief time, hope flickered. She had brothers who cared, an uncle ready to step up as a father figure, and friends who genuinely loved her. Yet that fragile happiness was destroyed by one man-Benny-who left her broken, alone, and desperate to escape. When Alexa finally slips out of Benny's grasp, she finds refuge with her uncle. She's sure it's all behind her now; she vows never to see those who betrayed her again. But as she struggles to rebuild her life, another devastating betrayal shatters her trust: someone she once believed safe steals her innocence, plunging her back into fear and uncertainty. Alexa must now face a world where trusting the wrong person can cost her everything.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Evanna Halls, a 12 year old girl tries to overcome her mental illnesses while dealing with bullies in school and a divorce from their parents. After a horrific accident, she is forced to move away from her normal life and move in with her dad, who became the step-father of 6 boys, making her their newest step-sister. Jayden, the youngest boy, who is the same age as her, despises her the most. Throughout the book, his backstory, along with many other dark secrets will be figured out. Author's Note:
I wrote this book when I was a teenager, during a time when I was working through a lot of intense feelings and experiences in my own life. The story reflects that period of my imagination and emotional processing. Some of the content involves abuse, bullying, and mental health struggles, and it may be difficult or triggering for some readers. I've shared this story because it helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most, and I hope it can offer some sense of connection or comfort to others as well. Please take care of yourself while reading.
