Forever and Always (FIRST DRAFT)
Lucy Collins has loved Parker Keller for as long as she can remember. Her best friend since childhood, her partner in crime, her almost-until he wasn't. One moment, he was hers in every way that mattered, and the next, he was gone. Cold. Distant. The boy who once knew all her secrets became a stranger overnight, leaving her with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart that refused to let go. Now, senior year is slipping through her fingers, and Parker is still the same reckless, untouchable heartbreaker he became after he cut her off. But old habits are hard to break, and despite everything, their lives keep colliding-through stolen glances across their bedroom windows, lingering touches that shouldn't mean anything, and memories neither of them can outrun. Then there's Jeremiah Hayes. Steady. Uncomplicated. A new presence in Lucy's life when she least expects it. He doesn't push, doesn't demand. He just listens. And for the first time in a long time, Lucy wonders if maybe-just maybe-there's another path forward. But love isn't simple. And moving on is never as easy as it sounds. Characters are 18+Complete

However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike.

Featured on New Beginnings in Romance Picks Anthology at Romance Recognised in 6x Awards - What do you do when your heart pulls you in two different directions? Hi, my name is Olivia Meyer, and I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who has a little confession: falling for Freddie Hutchinson, the school's infamous 'bad boy,' was never part of the plan. I've always been perfectly fine with my low-key life. Books over parties? Check. Silence over drama? Double-check. Honestly, I'm just trying to survive high school with my best friend, Tom McKenzie, by my side since he's the only person who's ever really seen me. But then I got paired with Freddie for a class project. Freddie Hutchinson, with his leather jacket, sharp smirk, and reputation darker than my coffee order. We've never spoken a word to each other before now, but suddenly, I'm seeing sides of him no one else seems to notice. Like the kind-hearted boy hiding beneath the tough exterior. And now my carefully crafted world is starting to crack. Alicia James, the queen bee of high school politics, isn't happy about the Status Quo changing and Tom... well, let's just say he's acting weird. Like, jealous kind of weird. The worst part? I think I might actually like Freddie. Like, love him. You read it right: love him. But if I choose him, I could lose everything else I care about. So, what do I do? Follow my heart, or stick to the plan? Either way, I have a feeling my senior year is about to get way more complicated than ever. Wish me luck. XO Olivia Copyright © 2024 by Alina BryneComplete
