For the last seven years, Baya Mikaels has been living the fast life. Right out of high school she got the chance of a lifetime; to live her dream in LA as a songwriter. But are dreams always what you expect? It wasn't easy but Baya was independent and determined to stay afloat on her own. That was until her inspiration ran dry and she realized that the one place that might help her was the last place she wanted to go. Her hometown. The place she ran from, filled with the people she left behind. Jensen Keeler had to grow up faster than most. In one fell swoop, he lost his parents and shortly after, the love of his life. He then obtained guardianship of his three siblings, a business, and all the responsibilities that came with them. He worked himself to the bone to keep his family from sinking even if he barely kept his own head above water. But what happens when his first love shows back up in town? Jensen never wanted to see Baya again. Definitely not as his new neighbor and certainly not attached at the hip with his traitorous sister. Baya and Jensen are not the same people they were seven years ago. The feelings they shared are muddied from neglect, yet still fighting their way through. So why does it suddenly feel like maybe together, they wouldn't have to fight to stay afloat? Maybe together, they could learn to tread the waters. Tropes you can expect: second chance romance, forced proximity, a little bit of enemies to lovers. ~As a warning, please expect sexual content, steamy smut, cursing, drinking and other mature content. Also expect love, humor, sarcasm, a healthy dose of drama and always a happy ending!~

Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore." "If I didn't care, Alexis, then why is it I can't touch another girl unless I'm imagining you?" He pushes against me, trapping me against the wall, his minty beer breath skating across my lips. "J-Jace, you don't have t-to do this," I stammer, already losing the fight as my body melts against his. Jace's hand moves to trace his thumb across my bottom lip. "Why do I obsess about kissing you again? Why do memories of holding you still haunt me?" His face pinches in agony. "Why can't I do the right fucking thing and leave you alone?" _______________________________________________ Alexis 'Lexi' Young has four goals; pass her senior year of high school, buy her own wheels, get accepted to culinary school, and forget that her ex-boyfriend ever existed. Seems easy enough, right? Nope! Not when the school across town burns to the ground and all the students are sent to her school. Included in those new students is none other than Jace Hall, Lexi's ex, and his motorcycle riding, street fighting, off the wall friends. As for Jace, he'll forever regret breaking Lexi's heart, but it was either that or put her in the line of danger. Now that she's in arms reach, staying away is a lot harder to do. Especially when everything she does drives him crazy. But being part of the Guardians means trouble is never far behind, and getting close to Lexi again could put a target on her back. She wants to resist old temptations and protect her heart. He wants nothing more than to pull her close and keep her safe. But are you ever really safe when kissing your ex? ______________________________________________ Recommended age is 17+ for cursing, sexual content, and violence Best Ranking: #1 in HighSchool Romance 6/4/2022 #3 in teenlove 6/3/22 #1 in MatureThemes 1/11/21 #8 in Drama 12/31/20 Copyright © Chelsea Frey 2020 All rights reserved

UNEDITED Best friends. Neighbours. And a spark that can't be ignored... Emyln Walker and Hainsey Stone have been best friends since grade five, but just after their relationship takes a big step, Emyln's parents divorce and she's moving to a different city, leaving Hainsey alone in the beautiful city of Whistler, BC. Five years later, Emyln returns to Whistler to meet her new family of strangers: a mom she hasn't seen in five years, a stepdad, and two stepsiblings. She's not particularly excited about the idea, but a strong tie from her past has enough of a hold to make her stay. The last thing Hainsey needs is Emyln turning up, bringing old memories with her and opening old wounds. But Emyln -- even better looking than Hainsey remembers -- seems determined to rekindle what she left behind; revive their friendship no matter how much Hainsey tries to push her away. Since her departure, he's been facing demons of his own. With a dad that walked out with another woman, and a mom that's a heroin addict, Hainsey has been struggling to keep his head above water for the past five years. Working two jobs, he barely makes enough money to pay the bills, let alone be the one who has to retrieve and pay for the drugs in order to keep his mom happy. Hainsey is playing a dangerous game that he doesn't want Emyln, his childhood best friend -- and sweetheart -- to know about. Forced to work together over the summer, Hainsey can't help but start falling for Emyln, and soon they're in the midst of a passionate romance that neither of them wants to end. But both Hainsey and Emyln know that if they want this relationship to last, they need to confront the past and the present -- both containing events and decisions that they want to stay buried.
