"You know, Sophie," he began, his voice low and hesitant, "whenever I see a girl cry, I usually walk away. I can't handle it. But when I see you cry..." His words faltered, and he glanced down, gathering the courage to continue. After a steadying breath, he lifted his gaze back to mine. "When I see you cry, all I want to do is pull you into my arms and make sure you know everything is going to be alright." His confession hung in the air, his intense gaze searching my face. The vulnerability in his voice sent a wave of emotion crashing over me, and before I could stop it, a single tear escaped, trailing down my cheek. He reached out, his touch achingly gentle, and wiped it away with his thumb, his fingers lingering as if to reassure me without words. And in that moment, I broke. I collapsed into his arms, letting his warmth shield me from the cold ache inside. With him here, holding me like this, it felt as if the entire world had finally aligned, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn't alone. When Sophie Wilson moves from Virginia to the quiet town of Madison to escape the pain of her parents' death, she dreams of a fresh start. A normal life. A chance to focus on her studies and leave the haunting memories behind. But life rarely goes as planned. Sophie never expected to catch the attention of Chace Grayson, the school's enigmatic bad boy with a reputation that precedes him. As their worlds collide, Sophie finds herself drawn to Chace despite her better judgment. Yet, the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes that her past isn't as distant as she thought-and Chace might hold the key to secrets she's been running from. This is the story of a girl with a broken past and the boy who could either help her heal or shatter her completely. Will Sophie find the strength to face her demons, or will the weight of the truth crush her once and for all? Cover by: bridgey2000 Trailer link: http://my.w.tt/UiNb/SDH2xHuPWu

Book Two of TGGBB Series Naomi Lorraine, who used to be or still known as Nerdy Naomi, looks forward in her thick rimmed glasses to a life without the fear of being bullied. She no longer has to take up the laughs, insults, and bruises high school once gave her, at least she hopes not as much. With her bullies finally realizing there's no point to dedicating their lives to make one person miserable, Naomi thinks she can live out the rest of her life normally. That is until her childhood friend, Dominic, crashes back into her life, throwing out that hope of having a normal life- Not like she had one in the beginning. That is because she has the Three Musketeers -Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch- by her side. Together, they faced the adventures life threw at them and would have never thought that anything, or anyone, could break them. Oh, but don't worry. Really, you're overthinking things here. This is nothing to stress over about. It's still quite simple really. She's still their good girl. And they're still her bad boys. Right?

"Why are there so many boys and barely any girls?" I asked. "You three are the only girls I've met so far." "That's because we're the only girls left," Alex said, sadly. "Add you, and we're the Last 4." Millsfield is a small town where girls are few and boys are many. The boys like to play a little game called Chase. The girls here - or should I say, who used to be here - got easily scared by the wild bad boys, and moved away. When Willow Scott, a 16 year old girl with heart, soul and a very loud voice, moves to Millsfield, expecting lots of animals and fields, she is surprised to find that she is one of only 4 girls: Evie, a pretty country girl who hates all boys, Maddie, a bookworm who is perfect but won't admit it, and Alex, a ragged tomboy who barely cares about others' opinions. These 4 girls could be the saviours of the female population in Millsfield, if they could only think of a way to show the boys what they're made of...
