There are three general truths every Acebridge inhabitant knows by heart. First, if you're on a hunt for the greatest latte in North Carolina, Beans & Bagels just off Main Street is the place to go. Second, the color that paints the exterior and interior walls of the ice cream parlor by the beach is a deeply horrifying shade of blue. And last, but not least, Ace Easters and Acebridge Westers do not - and should not - mix. After all, the generations-long rivalry between Acebridge's two high schools is the most prominent and soul fueling tradition of the quaint coastal town. In other words, Avery Waters should absolutely not go around kissing Ethan Taylor.

Sky Simmons is a force to be reckoned with - much like her namesake, she's as unpredictable and dangerous as the sky can be. Although she grew up with access to anything she wanted, a family tragedy meant that she lost the love of her parents at a young age and at a point in her life when she needed it most. The family never recovered from it. Mason Evans is a top student from a poor background - the perfect child, he is a credit to his parents. He returns to England from abroad hoping to finish his school education in a prestigious school in his home country. Although the two have never met, the mutual connection of their parents eventually thrusts their lives together. The Evans family approaches Sky's parents to cash in on an old favour while intending to pay for Mason's upkeep. However, money is never an issue for her parents; in fact, they believe it's possible to buy anything with the right amount. With time running out on their end, Sky's parents offer free upkeep for Mason in return that he tries to straighten out their daughter. Having a poor model student at their whim as he lives with their troublesome daughter seems like the perfect last resort. 1st place in Teen Fiction in The Adventure Awards! 2nd place in Teen Fiction in The Blue Rose Awards (September), The 2018 Talent Awards and The Cupid Awards! 2nd place in Romance in The Royal Rose Awards! 2nd place in Romance/Chicklit in The Αλήθεια Awards 2018! 3rd place in Teen Fiction in The Rising Star Awards!

The sound of silence is deafening. Avery Spencer; the seventeen year old girl raped and left on the beach the summer after her Junior year. Now a Senior and still recovering from the assault, the last thing Avery wants is to have her athletic brother drag one of his friends to live in their house while their parents disappear to another country for work for the next couple months. And with the constant reality of seeing her abuser every day at school, Avery must cope with the changes on her own. What she doesn't expect is to actually find a safety net in her brother's best friend, one that involves finally being able to open up about what happen. But with more than one person in fear of what might happen if it does, Avery is thrown into a chaotic mess of wrong and right, flashbacks, wayward support groups, and finding her safe haven in the place she least expects it.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was.

Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school.

The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
