Book 1 | ✓ Sweeping my curls with his hand, he unapologetically held my face, making me look at him as he spoke: "Someone should've gotten you a manual for living here. If that shocks you, then I don't know how everything else will make you react." I muffled a laugh, though deep down wanted to fall into a fetal position. He was so much more handsome up close like this with the sun behind him, angelic almost―disregarding the tattoo inscribed on the side of his neck. Picasso's full lips parted, grinning at me till my heart started acting funny-fluttering against my ribs. "I think I've got the hang of it around here. I can handle myself," I remarked, smiling. "Stop worrying about me." "The thing is I can't stop," he admitted. "And I won't." Though there was no legal ties to bind him to what he said, I believed what Picasso swore to me on that afternoon. And for that reason, I agreed to his proposition to go out on a date. ❀ Picasso is the polar opposite from the preppy rich girl that is, and always will be, Sydney Webster. However, Sydney loses it all in an instant when she hears of her father's death, leading their two worlds to collide. Kicked out of her beach house in Malibu, Sydney is forced to move in with her aunt and her three kids in a tiny apartment. Sydney goes from attending prestigious schools and yacht parties to having to walk through metal detectors before entering homeroom, gang violence brewing inside the school, and a posey of mean girls ready to put Sydney in her place and remind her where she's at on the food chain. Luckily for her, there's a savior in the chaos: Picasso Hudson. ❀ [this is a companion book to Tethered Hearts. you do not need to read that book to understand this story.] #1 in urban fiction tag (4/1/20) #1 in urbanbooks (9/8/19) #1 in goodgirl (1/31/23) #4 in badboy (2/4/20) #65 in Teen (1/11/20)

Highest ranking in Teen Fiction #78 Highest ranking in justwriteit #3 • His hot breath touched the dip of my shoulder, and I found myself tilting my head away slightly to give his lips more access as they barely grazed my neck. It was like the touch of a hair, quick and barely noticeable, but I was hyper aware of everywhere he touched. I'd always been. "I need you." ••••• Skye Valkyrie has a secret. During the school hours, she stays hidden; good grades, never gets in trouble, casual clothing, the usual. No one noticed her, and that's the way she wanted to keep it. After school was an entirely different story. Any time she was out of that dreaded building, she wore leather jackets, harbored secrets, started fights, vandalized, pulled pranks, attended parties, you name it. She'd kept her extra activities well hidden, until a few guys from school happened to stumble into one of her schemes. Cyrus, Tyler, and Jay decide to strike a deal with Skye. During school, nothing changes. They're the same to her and anyone else they come across, and she's still the same girl that no one notices. After school, that's another story. There's one fault in this plan, and it's name is Ryder Williams. With a burning hatred for Skye and anything that relates to her name, the four will have no choice but to keep their acquaintance a secret. So, what happens when he finds out and his feelings for the loner start to change? ••••• "I'm only on the second chapter and I'm already in love with it" - k_dramalover "Reading the end of it my heart started hurting and my eyes watering.... you're doing a really good job of this story" - missg26 " :*) SO HEARTWARMING IT WILL WILL PROB MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY.
