"It's you and me. Together," he says. "Us against the world." ***** All my life, I've never trusted men. The image of them planted in my head is the figure of my abusive stepfather who has made my mother and I live in hell. But then, an encounter with the school's football team captain, Jake Spencer, in one particular morning, starts to make me question my judgment. It's the day when he saves me. He's given me hope I never knew existed. However, I'm the only one who remembers. Of course. He's the superstar in my high school, and I'm just a girl trying to fit in. I should stay away from him, blending in the crowd just like I used to do, avoiding him. Because we are two people from two different worlds. So when fate decides differently, it strikes me with a force so violent that I can't escape from. He destroys me. And just like the first time we met, I'm the only one who remembers everything. Little do I know that it destroys him too. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #2 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

The cold man fell in love with the kind girl because he knew that she deserved the world and that he wanted to be the one who gave it to her. ♡ Alette Faye was a sweet girl. She was exceptionally kind and had an air of simplicity. Between her part-time job at the bakery, her classes, her time spent tending to her flowers and walking in the fields, she didn't get the opportunity to experience much. Her past created fears in her that she seemingly couldn't overcome, and then she met him. For when she meets him, she should have run away in fear, but she stayed. She stayed and she opened her big heart for a man who found his heart, just for her. ♡ This story is a little cliché, a lot unedited, and super simple.

I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. *** Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. I was happy. I was content. Until her.... It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do. Who doesn't want a happily ever after? It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now. As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. The thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...

#1 in Romance - 07.01.2021 Forced to be around each other because their best friends just happen to love each other, Nicole and Blake must learn to be civil with one another for their sakes. However, being civil might be asking too much of the two of them - when the word didn't really exist in either of their vocabulary. She's a loudmouth, no filter whatsoever when she speaks and hates egoistic men. He's childish, also has no filter - especially when flirting - and oozes confidence like it's his birthright. They were so similar and yet so different, but oddly perfect for each other. Mostly, they were really just a recipe for disaster. This is the story of their turbulent journey. A spin-off to "Back to You"...

A knowing look passed by in his azure irises, paired with something that resembled - dare she say - lust or adoration. He then shook his head in loving impatience, scoffing. "I can never win with you," he muttered. She wanted to pursue. She wanted to ask him. But she didn't. She had wanted to ask for a long time, but she never could. She never really knew why. This time included, as she just ignored what she just witnessed and shrugged. "Yeah, well, I'm a hard person to reject." He made sure their gazes met as he said, "I know." ** Luke Jordan had everything he could have ever wanted. Cars, houses, a company he built with his own sweat and blood, friends, women, you name it. If there was anything that he didn't have, he could easily buy it with the money he had more than he needed. But the one thing he wanted, he couldn't have. Had Katie Boyd been any other woman, he would have taken her to bed right from the beginning and give her the best night of her life. But life loved playing games with him and Katie Boyd wasn't just any other woman. She was his best friend's younger sister and eleven years younger than him. Work was enough distraction for five years, all of them spent wanting her but not having her. He had resigned to this unrequited love that would never quit until his best friend made a decision to go on a holiday and leave his sister under Luke's care. Will Luke be able to keep himself away from Katie? Or will sparks fly and cook up something that he never anticipated to happen between them?
