Love is portrayed as something that's full of romantics only. But, true love is messy. Complicated. Full of cracks. It's not perfect. But, it's nothing that a little tape can't fix, right?
Ellie Richards is anything but perfect. Her mind is full of insecurities, she's broken, she's got problems, but she never fails to put a smile on her face, despite her troubles.
She can't see the beauty within her.
Riley Morrison is the new kid. Southern born and raised, he has all manners, hospitality, kindness, and happiness. He does his best to make others happy. He knows his worth. He just wants to find people to appreciate his good qualities.
He is the Tape.
When the broken and the new meet, they're gonna learn what true love is really about.

Ellie has a secret. It's not exactly a big secret (at least not from her friends) but it's not a secret she cares to indulge in too often because she knows how it makes her look - like an eccentric fan, who doesn't have a life and really has nothing better to do than daydream all day about Nolan Taylor, the next up and coming music star. At least to Ellie, he is the next big thing. So yes, that means she is one of many fan girls out there, totally mesmerised by everything he says and does. There's just the small matter that she daren't put out there: she is definitely; completely; almost certainly, in love with him. As crazy as it sounds, it's true and the only person in the world she can trust to not give her grief about it, is her newest best friend, AJ. Only problem is, she lives miles away in Ireland. As does Nolan. When AJ offers her the chance to finally visit her, she jumps at the chance, not realising she has a secret of her own - for Ellie to finally meet her one true love. Not that Ellie would ever let herself fall for Nolan for real, given he is not only out of her league, but also five years her junior. Still, it's not long before Ellie finds herself in the midst of a tough decision: give into the feelings that she knows are true or fight against them, knowing that they could never possibly work. Or could they?Complete
Lost
Sometimes, I'm not always sure what to do. I feel like I'm always wrong, like I'm never good enough. I'm invisible and it's as if I don't exist. If I really didn't exist, I don't think anyone would care. I'm all alone in this great big world, I'm lost. Maddie has never been good enough for anyone. Her perfect sister, Megan, always manages to outshine her. Her father never pays attention to her, because he's always worried about Megan. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Maddie goes to group therapy, where she shares her feelings. Every week it's the same thing, until Maddie gets a new lab partner: Zach Williams, every girl's dream date. WARNING: I wrote this book when I was really, really young. It is very poorly written and has a TON of grammatical errors. I'm working on editing/rewriting this.Complete

Something Like Oxygen - (Texas Tea Chronicles: Tommy + Riley)
Tommy's older, jaded, and sure he's too broken to love. Riley's younger, gentle, and still believes in forever. - Tommy Carter learned early that desire could drown you. That wanting the wrong thing could get you hurt, or worse. So he buried it. Became a cop. Got engaged to a woman. Lived the life expected of him, even as the weight of silence filled his lungs. Then he met Riley Monroe. Twenty-two. A physical therapy student. Sweet, soft-spoken, and too young for the things Tommy shouldn't be thinking about late at night. He's sunshine in human form, with a shy smile and eyes that see right through him. And Tommy- thirty-two, closeted, and aching- knows he should keep his distance. He's never been with a man. Never let himself want one this badly. But Riley's kindness cracks something open in him. Makes him feel like maybe, just maybe, it's not too late to want more. The age gap should be a warning. The timing couldn't be worse. But Riley is something like oxygen... and for the first time in years, Tommy wants to breathe. TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains homophobic language, traumatic childhood scenarios, and mature sexual content.Complete
