Emily Gilmore. Brown straight hair, warm chocolate eyes, skinny body and shy personality. She has never been the kind of girl to stand out. In fact, she always preferred standing in the background, reading her books and not bothering anyone else. Scott Preston. Light brown hair, electric grey eyes, sculpted body and outgoing personality. He has always been the kind of guy who befriended everybody. Popular, kind and gentle. He spoke his mind without a second thought, and he didn't care what anybody thought of him. Emily was sure Scott had no idea who she was, even though they had been going to the same schools since she can remember. Scott has no clue who this mysterious, quiet Emily is, yet, something about her calls to him. He wants to break her shell, even when she's enveloped in countless layers of protection and social anxiety. After an assignment joins these two together, Emily is bound to not make a fool of herself while Scott does his best to be her friend. #1 in romance-friendship: 08/24/2018. Thanks for giving my story a chance! I really hope you enjoy it :D

"Not just a flavour, but a way of life." When seventeen-year-old Flo Kennedy is forced to up sticks and trade her life in London for a sleepy seaside town on the south coast, she's anything but excited. Walden-on-Sea could win awards for being Britain's dullest town, and with a population consisting almost entirely of over sixties, teenagers are an endangered species. Silently struggling with her parents' death and separation from her sister, Flo's convinced she's in for the worst summer of her life. But when she meets the guy in the ice cream shop, things start to change. It's not long before she lands herself a job, a new set of friends and maybe even the beginnings of first romance. For the first time in several years, she's happy. But Flo knows all too well that things can't stay perfect forever, and after all, being on top of the world only gives you further to fall.

Carly Atwood always remembered the man that used to live in the loft above the barn when she was a little girl. John was her childhood crush, he was the guy she wrote about in her diary, and when he left her in his army greens, he was the first man she ever cried for. Nine years later, Carly isn't the eleven year-old girl John left behind. She grew up and moved on with her life, taking over the Atwood Ranch following her father's death. John isn't the man he used to be either; physically and emotionally scarred following his last deployment in Afghanistan, John is returning to the only place he ever called home, back to the loft above the barn and to the pretty blonde girl that's been holding onto his dog tags for all these years. ----- Title inspired by the song of the same name by Tim McGraw.
