Trudging through a space that is wholly foreign and achingly familiar. It's been an awfully long time since I've written anything out of desire and not duty. I miss the thrill. I am also afraid I've lost any right to call myself a writer. This is my attempt at clawing back what I once loved. It'll be non linear, informal and almost certainly a mess.

All Layla Foster wants is to launch her own branch off of her parent's fitness company. But how is she supposed to focus on making her one shot a success when her client's brother makes her feel things she swore off a long time ago? * * * * * Layla Foster has learned that people like her for one thing: her career. Being the heiress to Foster Fitness, her parent's multi-million, celebrity-filled gym chain, has led to nothing but fake friends, gold-digging boyfriends, and a lifetime of doing exactly what her parents want. She's ready to start something of her own: a new branch of the company that focuses on whipping Brides and Grooms into shape before their big day. But being on-site at McAden Orchard, the beautiful sprawling home of her first clients, is going to be hard thanks to the bride's brother Dawson. He's outspoken, nosy, opinionated... and more handsome than any movie star Layla's ever trained. Dawson McAden doesn't do love. He was scorned once, and once was enough to have him trade in commitment for one-night stands. So why does it bother him so much that his sister's new trainer has given up on love, too? He's not looking for just one passionate night with the feisty, redheaded beauty, but is he ready to risk his heart again to go after the relationship he can't stop himself from wanting? completed (first draft) - 8/21/22

An ex-couples rivalry for the spot as student body president becomes even more convoluted when two new, unexpected candidates enter the race. Chloe and Preston team up, each vowing to get one member kicked from the competition-- but when they both end up helping their victims to spite each other, the campaign gets a lot more complicated. * * * * * Chloe Peters is determined to solidify her most-popular-girl-in-school status with the label of student body president, so she's furious when three other candidates enter the race. Now, she's competing against her ex-boyfriend Preston McMillan, some nobody named Emily, and the school's notorious troublemaker, Finn Harrel. If it means saving her pride and not letting Preston get the best of her, she'd do just about anything-- even help out Finn, who despite his good looks, gets on her last nerve with his lackadaisical attitude and class-clown antics. Preston McMillan just wants a distraction from the fact that his wrestling team is about to be disbanded. When he signs up for the presidential race, he doesn't expect Chloe to go berserk, nor does he expect to meet Emily, a quiet, stony girl he can't believe he's never noticed before. After deciding to help with her campaign, he's got plenty of distractions-- enough to make him wonder what really matters, and enough to make his friends question where his loyalties lie. One thing's for sure: suddenly, this race is about a lot more than student government. 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝) - 𝟑/𝟖/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬) - 𝟏𝟎/𝟏𝟓/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬)- 𝟖/𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎
