A crush on the popular boy at school sounds tough enough... Gorgeous, charming, and captain of Maxwell High's soccer team, Valentino Rosas is every girl's dream. And Inaya Muhammad, despite being head-over-heels in love with him, knows she can't do much about her feelings---as a Muslim, she can't have a relationship. So when Inaya's life as Maxwell High's next valedictorian completely changes, it isn't because of an arranged marriage; she doesn't take off her hijab, become internet famous, or anything like that. No---it all starts with a harmless catfishing scheme in the video game CrusadEon Online. Playing under her friend's profile, Inaya thinks she's snagged Valentino without breaking any rules. But with the unraveling of her family's secrets and uncovering Valentino's, Inaya's life offline starts to blur with her online persona. Can Inaya confess the truth about the redheaded warrior Valentino plays alongside before it's too late? Or is she doomed to lose his heart---and her own? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MUSLIM TO RELATE TO THIS BOOK!

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

I found myself staring at the plain white ceiling again. My thoughts overtaking me with worry, anger, and sadness. Worry, for the thought of not being able to unlock the lock that chains me to the most, egoistical boy, I've ever met. Anger, for the person who does have the key, and doesn't want to be found. And sadness, for being all alone again once we do find the key, that would unlock me to loneliness. -- "The only guy who deserves her, is the one who thinks he doesn't." ©2015 by Slave2gravity.
