Seventeen year old Carter Collins is in, well, for lack of words, a crapload of trouble. She must carry the burden of her father's death alone, take care of two sisters, deal with her irresponsible, desserting mother, and, worst of all, pass calculus. Having no experience in the ways of running a household, Carter has to teach herself on the fly. Her little system of working, going to school, and working seems to be running just fine until her insurance worker shows up at her door with an eviction notice. Stunned beyond words, Carter must find a new way to come up with money she doesn't have. At this point, Carter is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She is reduced to taking what is not hers. Unwillingly forced to the ways of thievery, Carter finds out just how hard life, love, and the real world can really be, and she convinces herself that the only way to succeed in the world is to trust no one. After all, the world isn't fair, and nice guys finish last.

Highschool Sweethearts
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.Complete
The Last Message
When fifteen-year-old Emily Carter vanishes after leaving her friend's house one rainy evening, her father Jack Carter - a quiet auto mechanic and widower - refuses to accept that the police can handle it fast enough. With only a handful of clues, including a chilling voicemail Emily left minutes before she disappeared, Jack begins his own investigation. As he retraces her last steps, Jack uncovers pieces of Emily's secret life - a burner phone, an unknown older friend, and a mysterious symbol she drew in her sketchbook. Each clue pulls him deeper into a web of lies and danger that stretches far beyond a simple disappearance. The closer he gets, the more he realizes he isn't just searching for his daughter - he's also confronting everything he never wanted to face about her growing up, his past, and the people he's trusted for years.Complete
