After a late night fight between Alex Summers and her ex goes terribly wrong, her parents ship her off to spend a stress-free summer in Los Angeles. But the second she steps off the plane, Alex stumbles into California bad boy Elias King, a too-hot-to-handle heartbreaker with a taste for trouble. ***** When Alex and Elias find themselves stuck living under the same roof, their sexual tension's undeniable, but their differences set them on a warpath to destroy each other. Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in thirty days, while Alex swears she can keep him one-night-stand-free and have him sober by the end of the summer. All's fair in love and war if you're playing by the rules, but this time around, there are no limits.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction

[COMPLETED] "Do you want to join the basketball club? " His beautiful red hair glinted under the gentle touch of the sun rays as he moved the next Shogi piece. It started with just one question. A question he asked the aquamarine haired girl sitting opposite him. The quiet, untrusting girl with a past too sorrowful for words joined. Because a request from her dearest brother, she wouldn't turn down. That's when she entered a place she used to know. Home. They broke down her guarded walls and showered her with all their love. Because to them, she was their most precious sister. But there was one dark blue haired boy who saw her more than that. To him, she was the rival he never could defeat. For the first time, she begun to trust. But there was one thing even The Diamond, with her lightning speed and strategic mind, couldn't stop. And that was, their change. The change that betrayed her trust. TWO people. Broken because of ONE mistake. 'I miss her, her smiles and the way she laughs when she plays.' 'I miss him, his hugs and the way he never stops challenging me.' If time could turn back, perhaps, I would still have chosen to trust all of you. Because the fun we've had, the happiness you've given me, is impossible to let go. You guys who used to love basketball more than anything in the world, I won't allow you to look down on it anymore. That's why... It's about time I return. Credit: -This awesome cover is made by @KiRafunE !!!!
