After an offended Greek goddess sends Kenna back in time to Elizabethan England, she discovers she must stop the theft of Shakespeare's best known tragedy before returning to her century, all while resisting the charms of the theatre's Romeo. ***** After being dumped via voice note, Kenna Fernsby is convinced there was never a tale of more woe. Offended by the insult to true tragedy, a Greek goddess banishes Kenna to Elizabethan England, where she stumbles upon a plot to steal the priceless first draft of "Romeo and Juliet" from right under William Shakespeare's nose.

"Just Press Send," is about two boys, with different backgrounds, who both desired the same thing, love. One wanted to experience the love that appeared in movies and the other just wanted to love like he once did before. But love wasn't easy especially when you were Tobias Wach who searched for love in others when he had yet to find love in the most important place or when you were Brandon Hynes who wanted true love but ran from it. However, they couldn't deny the feelings that churned up inside of them when they saw each other for the first time. They were instantly drawn to each other. It was kind of like love at first sight. There were butterflies in the stomach, the heart eyes, and the abnormal beating of the blood pumper. It felt like love. The love they were both missing. Not to mention Valentine's Day was just around the corner. Someone had to make a move and for good reasons. If Brandon and Tobias never met the way that they did then they would have never found out what was truly keeping them from getting the love they desired. All they had to do was make the decision: to press send or to not press send? It was that simple.

Okay, so, I'll let you in on a 'not-so-secret' secret. Bryce Atkins is the kind of girl that can make you laugh, or make you cry (never me, of course). She'll either draw you in, or push you away (always the latter, in my case). To most people, she's a riot, nothing but fun...but, get on her bad side and she'll enjoy nothing more than annoying the hell out of you, every day, for the next 7 years. I got on her bad side years ago-I'm talkin' elementary school. Now we're going into our senior year of highschool, and still at each other's throats. It doesn't help that I live next door to her. Anyway, this isn't the story about how two idiots went from hating each other, to love or some crap like that. Pffft, like I could ever fall for Bryce, with her messy blonde hair, surfer babe body, fiesty attitude, and brown doe eyes... *clears throat* Nope, this is about how a stupid hurricane decided to unleash its wrath on our Floridian town and ends up trapping me, my best friends, a very small percetage of our town's population, and Bryce Atkins inside our school to wait out the storm. A little rain, some heavy winds...I didn't think it'd be that bad... ...until someone started killing people. Now, I would love nothing more than to tell you this tale myself, but the monster of a woman I described to you earlier? Yeah, she decided she wanted to tell it. I'd argue with her, but...then I might get a colony of fire ants in my underwear drawer again. Good luck not wanting to choke her out, though. I know it's hard for me to leave her in one piece. Sincerely, The hot guy in your dreams A.K.A, Matty Ellington P.S. Don't tell Bryce I sent you this letter. She'd cut my balls off before they've really had a chance to live. Thanks.

It's been a year since Clay, otherwise known as Porkchop, planned the graduation event in Newport Beach. The event where a handsome Tyler Hamilton caught Clay off guard by kissing him. Clay, up until that day, had never kissed a boy before. At 24 years old, Clay finally has come to terms with his sexuality: he's bisexual and he's ready for love. He doesn't want a fling, he doesn't want a meaningless relationship, he wants love that is going to last. Tyler Hamilton is a year out of high school (thank god). He's spent the year at UCLA studying shit he doesn't care about and playing basketball with a team that doesn't respect him and the fact that he's openly gay. Tyler, to say the least, has had a rough year. And he's ready to change things when he makes the move to Georgia during the summer to get a change of scenery. When Tyler and Clay cross paths, they inevitably remember one another. But it's not as easy as it should be to jump into a relationship together for multiple reasons: 1. Clay knows what he wants and Tyler doesn't know if he can give it to him. 2. Tyler isn't sure Clay is the only option out there for him... ••• *A spin-off of My Jeep Girl and Better Than You characters* (don't need to read the other books to understand, but it's recommended! xo)

Popular party girl and high school senior Jessica Stone has a secret: she used to be a nerd - a big one; a goody two-shoes, grade-skipping, all-state spelling bee champ. But she lost the braces, put on some contacts, and applied all her academic genius to studying and imitating the social elite. Now she rules the school from the upper echelon of the high school realm. With her cool new friends and hottest-guy-in-school boyfriend, life's a beach - and that's where she's headed for Spring Break. That is, until her teacher breaks the bad news that she's failing Biology - and her only chance to make up the grade is to throw away the culminating trip of her hard-earned popularity and join the Conservation Club in Panama to save the Golden Frog. Unable to let go of her faded college dreams, Jess finds herself in a foreign country with a new social crew, and one handsome face that stands out as a blast from the past, threatening to ruin her queen bee reputation. Travis Henley may have grown up, but he still likes to play childish games and as payment for retrieving Jess' lost ring from the bottom of a jungle pool, he wants three dates. While Jess does battle with spiders, snakes, wildfires and smart mean girls, she desperately tries to hang on to the last vestiges of her popular existence like the Golden Frog from its webbed toe. But as she starts to care about something more than tanning and texting - a species on the verge of disappearing forever - she may realize the worth of her inner nerd, and the one frog in particular that could be her prince in disguise.
