One summer in Drift Cove. One chaotic share house. One guy she absolutely should not want. Lena came for cheap rent and a fresh start, not late-night swims, bar shifts, beer pong, stolen hoodies, and Jesse Hayes. He's easy-going, impossible to ignore, and very much claimed by Zara. Or at least, that's what she keeps saying. But in a house where everyone knows everything, stolen moments don't stay secret for long. Crossing Lines is a hot, messy summer romance about found family, bad decisions, and falling for the one person who was supposed to be off-limits.

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022
