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)

7 short stories linked by an article of clothing and a moment in time. Call them panties, underwear, undergarments... whatever you call them, they are made of the finest silk in the most beautiful shades of cobalt blue, burnt orange, fuschia, black, silver, emerald green, and purple. Here is a story of lost and found that will have you thinking about your own life - in colour. Carola had finally moved into her own condo after living from boxes stashed at friends and families homes for the last two years. As Carola unpacked she experienced a kind of wistfulness for past relationships, past homes, past versions of herself. One box that had been in her son's basement since she moved back to Toronto from Sweden -- had scarves, t-shirts and right at the bottom of the box wrapped carefully in tissue paper was a treasure she had allowed herself when she hoped a casual friendship was going to become something more. Seven pairs of silk underwear, each one is a different colour; crimson, cobalt, orange, fuschia, black, cream, and Saphire red -- still as beautiful as the day she had splurged and purchased them. That she hadn't worn even a single pair was not lost on her but today she was unpacking her life and this was surely a new beginning. In the next chapter, you will read about Sheldon and Cobalt Blue
