As she disconnects her lips from mine, she shoots me a smirk that sends chills down my spine. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that," -- Aspen Grayson has had her fair share of crushes in her life: the beautiful celebrity in her new favorite tv show, the cute girl that sat behind her in algebra, the cashier that she crossed paths with for only a few minutes at the grocery store. But those were just simple infatuations that didn't last past a day. None have ever amounted to the crush she has on Ivy Charleston, her straight best friend.

~The SEQUEL to 'Alex's Girl' is finally here~ It has been seven years since the events of 'Alex's Girl', where Alexis Sterling loved then lost Valerie Greco, a troubled but selfless young woman who managed to sneak her way into Alex's heart when she wasn't looking. Though Alex still misses Val every day, she has tried to move on with her life. She has become an emergency room doctor, she's moved into a beautiful new home, and she's even made some new friends. She also spends a lot of her time witnessing firsthand the ripple effect her actions seven years ago have caused her beloved city, with mob violence growing increasingly out of control and the hospitals quickly filling to capacity with more and more victims. Tensions are high as the Costa crime family are more powerful than they have ever been before, bringing the city to its very knees. And to make matters worse, Alex has unwittingly befriended the daughter of her most hated enemy, Ciro Costa, the man responsible for Val's death. The Grecos, on the other hand, have been laying low the last seven years, their illegal operations mostly cloaked in shadows... that is... until now. The Grecos are back, and they're back with a vengeance that demands blood. Their sudden comeback as a powerhouse crime family has Alex asking, how? Or perhaps the question she should be asking is, who?

Jessie Kawecki desperately needs a break. Her girlfriend broke up with her, she's sleeping on her brother's couch, and she's got maybe about forty dollars in her wallet. Still, when she gets offered the position of nanny to the three cheeky daughters of single mother Elizabeth Canfield, she hesitates. Closed-off and cold, Elizabeth is harder to handle than all of her kids together, and Jessie has no idea how long she can manage to put up with her. But she could really use the money, and she probably won't see that much of Elizabeth anyway. Why else would she need a nanny? Started: December 16, 2020

"It always started small, gradually growing and increasing with every second that past. I could always feel it, the numbness that shifts slowly to a pain stacking feeling that shook my body to the bones. Sometimes it came in the form of chest pain; other times, it came in sweats, and if it increased to fast, it came in the form of every muscle in my body tensing up, leaving me completely paralyzed. That was when I got scared the most, knowing I was playing a game that could end in only two ways. In a strange turn of events, though, I always found myself chasing that feeling as if it helped rekindled the small emblem of fire burning within me. It kept me feeling alive and that was a chase I didn't want to give up." At the age of 18, Riley Kidd knew she was an adrenaline junkie, and becoming a stunt double allowed her to chase the high she seemed to always want to feel. Now after years, It was still a feeling like no other, or so she thought. That all changed when she found herself looking into identical blue eyes, that would lead her crossing path with a single mother named Hailey Hunter. If Riley could retell her story, from the beginning of meeting Hailey, she would say, "It all stemmed from meeting that wild child."
