From the moment Spencer James and Olivia Baker locked eyes, something unspoken and unstoppable began to stir between them, an attraction neither of them wanted, yet neither could escape. Bound by rules, loyalty, and the fear of tearing their world apart, they try to bury the spark. But every stolen glance and quiet moment draws them closer, until resisting becomes impossible. Now, caught between a love that feels fated and the consequences that could destroy everything they care about, Spencer and Olivia must decide how much they're willing to risk... and whether some hearts were meant to break the rules.

This was inspired by a one-shot I wrote, so I figured that I'd turn it into a book. Spencer and Olivia were the best of friends growing up, and they were inseparable. They did everything together; they had the same friends, same classes, same routines, and knew each other like the back of their hands. Everything seemed perfect until they parted ways in college. Liv going to Texas while Spencer stayed in California. They haven't seen each other since college, and many things have changed. What happens when Liv comes back to California to help her friend from college while she's sick?

Spencer and Olivia Baker James make a long-awaited return to their beloved hometown of Los Angeles, California after Spencer's recent decision to retire from the NFL. Though he was grateful for a successful 14-year-long career run, he's ready to give his full attention to his wife and their four children the way he always wanted to but his demanding career wouldn't always allow. They are now parents to four amazing children, three daughters and a son, who truly light up their world in ways they never could've imagined all those years ago when they first bonded over chromosomal DNA. The high school sweethearts feel inspired every day to support their family in the best ways they know how and be a guiding light for them as they help their kids navigate the highs and lows of moving away from the life they've built on the East Coast. Olivia, while noticing the twins having a hard time adjusting to the move from New York, decides to sign the girls up for the Sola Muse Junior Division program that she herself once participated in during her later teen years. Lauren 'Bailey' James and Gianna Corryn James (CJ) grew up in the competitive world of dance, cheer, and gymnastics, but will they be able to navigate starting over with new friendships, new rivalries, and the highs and lows of middle school drama?

Scars and Vows follows Olivia and Spencer James as they navigate the raw, unfiltered trenches of love, marriage, and parenthood. Behind the picture-perfect smiles and public victories lies a story of two people fighting to protect the bond that made them who they are. From sleepless nights to the heavy weight of careers that constantly demand more, Olivia and Spencer learn that love isn't just about the highs-it's about surviving the lows together. This is a story of passion and sacrifice, of unspoken wounds and unbreakable promises. It's about the scars that shape us, the vows that bind us, and the relentless choice to stay, even when staying is the hardest thing of all. A deeply moving, intimate look into what it means to love fiercely and to be loved through the chaos, Scars and Vows reminds us that the strongest marriages aren't perfect-they're fought for.

These one shots will focus on the life of Spencer and Olivia as adults prior to being a couple, as a couple, and married life. Some of the stories will have more than one part. These will not be all feel good stories. Some will test their relationship and some will focus on their beautiful love story. I hope you enjoy.
