*sequel to My Ex-Best Friend: The Bad Boy, but can be read as a stand alone* *cover made by weird_liv* Daxton Smythe will never be the same after the fatal car accident when he was fourteen that killed his mother. Three years later, he is still suffering. He will never be able to escape the past. However, Dax's life has been going smoothly for a while. His guardian is one of the best he could ask for, his older brother is still there for him, and he's still close with his best friend. Things will always be this way, right? Wrong. Dax is in his senior year of high school, which soon turns into a roller coaster. He never thought life would be any worse than it was when he was fourteen and fifteen. Boy, was he wrong. After all, what's senior year without some drama? Warning: Mild language and sensitive topics. Might have some trigger warnings, especially because of Dax's condition. ~*~*~*~ I'd like to thank Cold_icelove247 for the title of the book. :)

Boy next door is charming. Boy next door is dangerous. Boy next door is on house arrest. * * * * * They've been neighbors for as long as Juliet can remember. You'd think being neighbors, they would have been friends by now. Not the case. They've been sworn enemies since Jack dumped sand down her shirt in the 1st Grade. Juliet Sanders lives next door to Jack McKinnon, the boy on house arrest for being the prime suspect in a murder investigation. That's only because his father paid off the judge, of course, or he'd be behind bars until the trial. The McKinnon family stays in the spotlight. Jack's mom is a famous author, his dad a movie producer. Juliet watches Jack. Whether if he's going for a swim or walking laps around the house at 3 in the morning. Something always piqued her curiosity. It takes Juliet getting locked out of her house to finally face the mysterious boy next door. And he's definitely not rainbows and butterflies. Juliet's curiosity may just get her in trouble. *Slowly editing FULLY* Note: KKKANGAROO has been really kind and has helped me edit some chapters. :)

"I hate the way I feel about you and I hate you for making me feel everything." * * * You never expect to fall for the one person you shouldn't. Well...that's actually what happens all the time. You know you shouldn't, but it happens and your heart gets caught in tight ropes. Dawson McKinnon and Olive "Liv" Roedan are best friends and have been for almost fifteen years. Dawson started his first year of college and Liv started her senior year. They're different, but somehow they're the same. They know each other without really knowing they know. Alone, they both have a secret they hold tight inside without the other knowing. The way they feel about each other. The one thing they tried to dissolve before it was too late. Together, they share one secret that they want to put behind them. One night...one mistake...one thing they can never get back. If brought up again, this secret could destroy a friendship. They made it this far and maybe, just maybe, they'll take another step together. * * * NOTE: This book is a third in the series, but it's a spin-off of the first two books. The two main characters are the kids of the characters in Charming in Handcuffs and Charming and Awkward! You may want to read those first, but you don't have to. Also, this is NOT a good girl/bad boy story.

"I should've been your protection." * * * It's starts with a wedding. Tyler's band is playing at the wedding of Maggie's sister. The blue haired boy catches Maggie's attention quicker than she can blink. Tyler had no intentions on letting Maggie slip through his fingers. Maggie, an aspiring photographer, just finished her first year of college and wants to spend her summer having a bit of fun rather than be stuck in her dad's law office. First on her list: finding an apartment so she can finally move out. Tyler, bassist of the band Reset Space, is nothing short of charismatic and has an exciting personality to match. Oh, and he's crushing on the girl in apartment 2F. Tyler and Maggie's first meeting was on top of the list of things that went better than expected. Their next meeting doesn't even make that list. It takes banging on Tyler's door at four in the morning for them to meet again and Maggie isn't happy. But Tyler only greets a livid Maggie with a smile and the promise to turn the music down. Who knew it was the only way to get her attention? * * * This is a spin-off of Best Kept Secret, but you DO NOT need to read that book before this one. This book is New Adult. There will be strong language and minor sexual content. Don't read if you're not comfortable. This is NOT a good girl/bad boy story. Enjoy!
