In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

Brooks, an undersized high school quarterback, is a hopeless romantic who idolizes his parents' love story. He believed he'd found his forever in Emma, the head cheerleader and his girlfriend. However, his perfect image shatters at a party when he discovers Emma has cheated on him and is pregnant with a teammate's baby. Feeling heartbroken and betrayed, Brooks drowns his sorrows in tequila and unexpectedly sleeps with his best friend, Ace-who's secretly been in love with him for years. What starts as a casual "friends with benefits" arrangement with Ace spirals into something more complicated. Ace doesn't just want to be a friend anymore; he wants Brooks to see him as the boyfriend he's always dreamed of being. Brooks, however, must confront his feelings and decide if love might look different than he imagined. This is THE PLAY SERIES Book 1: The Best Friends Play COMPLETED!

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories

What do you know about Vincent Russell? Well...most people don't know anything, considering he is an absolute closed book, which is ironic since his face is always shoved into an open one. If you happen to catch the attention of the grouch, there is no promise that he won't cuss you out or give a crap about you at first glance. The unbothered, quiet boy sure has a lot brewing on the inside from his uprising, but Vincent isn't the intimidating asshole everyone makes him out to be. ...But he does have a weakness: that annoying kid that pried his way into his life called Hayden Williams. So, who exactly is Hayden Williams? He's the definition of a train wreck. Most people are surprised that the social butterfly can even keep his head attached to his body. With the chaotic energy he brings to every room, any night can end in spin the bottle, inappropriate jokes, and possible jail time...kidding (not really). However, there is depth to every party animal. The remaining question is how on earth are these two best friends? Even better, how do these two become more than friends when their personalities conflict in every way possible? Follow them through the years of their lives in 'Lilies for a Lifetime.' **This is a spin-off of 'Flowers for Football.' It can be read as a stand-alone but many spoilers and scenes from the book will be mentioned**

Kieran Tate is the type of person who just floats through life. He had a somewhat average childhood, has somewhat average grades, and isn't really anything special. That's the way he likes it to be; do all of the needed tricks without falling off the skateboard. Do what you need to do to be noticed, but never do enough to be considered an attention seeker. There's only one problem that interferes with Kieran's life that causes everything to not be so simple. Cassius Connor won't leave him alone. Kieran has tried time and time again to ignore his snide comments and nonsensical arguments, but Kieran can only take so much before his fuse blows. Not a day goes by when Kieran and Cassius aren't fighting with each other. The happy-go-lucky skateboard kid and the gloomy, hot-headed teen have nothing in common, so how do they butt heads so often? Soon enough, their lives become intertwined with no way to reverse it. From jealous best friends, to new family challenges, to dealing with an enemy, Kieran has it all. Only it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Cassius is a much more interesting person than what's on the surface. Cassius tries to bury his past, but the closer Kieran gets to him, the more of his dark and forgotten life is uncovered. Not only that, but Kieran is about to find the key to ruining Cassius's life. Will he use it to his advantage or will he use it to unwind Cassius's complexity? With a lot of rage, a lot of laughs, and a whole lot of healing, will Kieran and Cassius finally see eye to eye... or will their relationship blossom into something more? It's your usual enemies-to-lovers tale, but with a twist.

What happens when you put two rival college athletes in the same room? If you said anything other than sliding straight into third base, you'd be wrong about Beckett Young and Prince Albright. Despite the hothead that Beckett Young is, he has a very bright future ahead of him in the MLS...as long as he doesn't screw it up first. However, he does have a long list of fuck-ups and factors that can contribute to said fuck-ups like insomnia, a failing appetite, an ill-mother, a past he refuses to confront, and so much more than he shoves down into the emotionally constipated person that he is. If you ask him, he'd definitely say he's justified in being a brat. As for Prince Albright, he couldn't be more different. Despite having a notorious reputation for sleeping around, the hockey captain is quite the people pleasing sweetheart, but not by choice. It comes at the cost of trying (and failing) to manage his mental health considering his OCD has come back and reared its ugly head. And like Beckett, he also has his fair share of hardships like a famous family that he can never please, an unsupportive team, and his slowly dwindling passion for hockey. With two broken people, that makes for one unconventional relationship-a messy arrangement that leaves their severed patterns and scrambled selves vulnerable to being adored by the other. You could even argue that their growing feelings toward one another causes a wrench in their plans. If you want a story full of complexity, chaos, and a few too many insults, this one is perfect for you.
