"This book is the perfect mixture of deep and hilarious. I'm in love with that" - crackhead4ever Teen fiction has given cheerleaders a bad rap. And stereotypical appearances. Courtney knows this. She is a cheerleader. Is she a pretty blonde with blue eyes? Well, yes. Is she popular and perky? ...okay. Yes, again. Is she stuck up and cruel to others for no reason? Ha! There! No to that one. In fact, she's worked for years to portray the perfect image of an upbeat, easy going person. An image that gets harder to hold on to when: The new girl takes an instant dislike to her. Her best friend decides to run against her for Senior Class President. Her football team captain boyfriend breaks up with her. And, oh yeah, she humiliates herself in front of the whole school. Yup, that perfect image is falling apart. "I love how this book is different from other teen fiction books It's like a breath of fresh air from the same old tropes😄 💕" - LaraAmethyst "I loooove this book so much already aghhh" - therealbhavie "I'm hooked- I- I think that's all im gonna say before I run to read the next chapter" - grumpymood "So excited for the next chapter! Characters are complex and unique, the plot continuously thickens, and I'm already waiting to see what happens next. I can't wait!" - Rspicy #1 in TeenLife #2 in TeenLove #5 in TeenFiction

As far as lazy roommates go, Death is probably as bad as they come. Rosa Delgada only wants a nice, ordinary weekend. When some guy claiming to be the Reaper comes knocking on her door, any plans of normality are thrown straight out of the window. Now she's got to worry about Death sleeping on her sofa, the forces of evil hunting down her new roommate, and - worst of all - all the post-break-up comfort food she keeps eating. And to make matters worse, Death is almost certainly going to go down in the record books as being the universe's least helpful roommate. He may be a horseman of the apocalypse but he'll be damned if he doesn't do the dishes. But life's going to get a whole lot harder for Rosa. Death's sudden holiday is resulting in some grizzly repercussions, and now all of the Underworld is out to drag him back. There's only so far sarcasm and strawberry ice cream will get you.

He's been buried in books and homework since that dreaded day, and he's had little time to focus on his romantic life.

One day, Tim and Josie find themselves reconnecting, and as much as they don't want them to, old feelings resurface. Told from different times of their lives together, Tim and Josie's journey in and out of love is left with one question: When it feels like first love stays with you forever, was their breakup a mistake?

Two entries for Aim to Engage 2019: @Romance Prompt - I Do. I was inspired to write this from two perspectives, each with 500 words limit, which can be read in sequence, starting with, "Then, Now, and Tomorrow," followed by, "No Happy Endings."

Freya Liu-Hampton isn't much of a romantic but that doesn't stop her best friend, Dale Sampson, from asking her to help him find his soulmate. Dale wants life to be like a romantic comedy but Freya knows that's not how it works. Because no matter how many happy endings there are in the movies, sometimes what you're looking for isn't what you find.

A seventeen year old boy named Jacob meets his (potentially insane) birth father for the first time, and goes with him on a road trip to dig up Nazi war paintings, hoping for a quick million. Or billion. Whatever works. A story about loving the ones who raised you and forgiving the ones who didn't.

*COMING EVENTUALLY * [SPIN-OFF OF "THE STRENGTH OF US"] There's always been something missing in Nicolette's life. Up until just a few years ago, she found it - her twin sister that she'd been separated from nearly at birth. Though that still feels like it wasn't quite all that was missing. Nicolette is more than the girl her sister tracked down just days before their seventeenth birthday. She's in a brand new city on the east coast, hoping to leave her midwest roots behind and start over. She's older, wiser, and sadly, she's lonelier. When worlds collide and tragedy strikes, Nicolette ends up finding sanctuary in the one person her twin can't stand. Twisted lies are weaved, pasts are uncovered, and hearts are broken. As the saying goes, let bygones be bygones, but how can you let them go when they hit so damn close to home? Life is tough in your twenties. It's even tougher when you're Nicolette Knox.

[SEQUEL TO "A YEAR AROUND THE SUN"] "This is a story about our love. A shatterproof kind of love that lasts even after the fireworks have gone up and dispersed, the smoke has cleared, and the ashes have settled into the ground. "Because in the end, you don't need fireworks. You just need someone who sticks around once they go out." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside »
