Book 1 in the "Life in-" series Scarlett Rain Rhodes is just like every other 17 year old high school Junior. She goes to school, makes good grades, cheers on her schools squad and tries to stay out of drama. What makes her different is the fact that she is responsible for taking care of her four siblings after her parents passed in a car crash two years ago. Now her life consists of football games, doctors appointments and a whole lot of yelling. After spending two years of trying to keep every person she meets at arms length what will she do when the new guy just can't take a hint? Ashton McClain is charming, arrogant and extremely good looking. He's a perfect guy and he seems hellbent of getting to know the real Scarlett. Not the girl who smiles politely when people talk to her and remains quiet in the back of the classroom. He wants to know the girl who talks nonstop and yells obscenities at bad referees. The problem is that after two years Scarlett doesn't know if she's able to confront that side of her without completely falling apart. * This story is completed * * WON A 2019 CHICK LIT FICTION AWARD Hit 1 Million Reads (2/19/19) Hit 2 Million Reads (4/03/19) Hit 3 Million Reads (6/04/19) Hit 4 Million Reads (7/09/19) Hit 5 Million Reads (8/17/19) Hit 6 Million Reads (11/20/19) Hit 7 Million Reads (1/26/20) Hit 8 Million Reads (4/10/20) Hit 9 Million Reads (5/23/20) Hit 10 Million Reads (8/28/20) #1 in General Fiction (2/05/19) #2 in Fiction (4/10/20) #4 in Humor (1/15/19) #18 in Teen Fiction (3/05/19) #3 in ChickLit (12/22/18) #1 in Drama (4/19/20) #4 in Young Adult (3/15/19) #6 in Teen Romance (1/15/19) #1 in Football (12/ 03/18) #1 in Loss (1/03/19) #1 in Adorable (1/10/19) #19 in Romance (6/18/19) #1 in Teen Love (11/13/19)

Alexa Stark, daughter of Tony Stark (yes, Ironman. No, she can't help you meet him). She's always followed in her dad's footsteps, and at fifteen years old, she was already a tech wizard. One day, after a mishap at an MIT pre-college program, she finds out she's also a real wizard. **************** Weird things had always happened to Alexa; it was just a fact of life. But when she accidentally explodes the other team's science project, she realizes "bad luck magnet" doesn't cover things anymore. Alexa never believed in magic. She relied on science and fact, and she wasn't interested in going somewhere that didn't even offer physics. But when the opportunity comes up to go to a school in the UK (and spread her wings beyond her dad for a little while), she gladly accepts. It's time for Alexa Stark to make her way to Hogwarts, albeit a few years late. If anyone can catch up in time for fifth year, it's this girl. She's ready to turn the magical world on its ear. **************** "Dad, have you seen this school supplies list?" I asked. "No, what's on it? Shouldn't you already have it all? You were just in a pre-college program." "No, it's stuff like quills and parchment!" "What?" "Yeah! Look, I don't care what this list says, I'm not writing essays with quills." **************** Hey guys! So this is going to synch pretty well with the Harry Potter timeline, but just a heads up that it might not match very well with the Marvel timeline. This book starts at the beginning of Harry's third year, and Alexa's fifth (she's in the same year as the twins). I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters or storyline.
