River Hayes lives in a Hell he calls life. With a mother who uses her harsh words to cut deep into his soul, a father who he has no recollection of except for the phantoms of his fights with his mom when he was five, and a school that is overrun by monsters who constantly remind him that he is nothing; teachers and students alike, he sees no purpose to himself or his existence. Besides his music and art, he has nothing and no one. Struggling with demons inside him that he cannot escape, he can't fathom a reason to continue: until a beautiful girl comes into the picture. She teaches him how to live and gives him a reason to continue doing so.

Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete

He drew me first
They said River Hayes didn't talk to anyone. They said he was trouble. But the quiet boy in the back of class wasn't sketching random faces- he was sketching me. He never spoke much, just drew in silence... until the day I caught him. And somehow, that's when everything started- the whispers, the glances, the pull I couldn't explain. He drew me first. Maybe that's why he's the only one who truly sees me.
Bully stepbrother
BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.Complete
