Ellie loved the idea of living in a beach house for the entire summer. Her city girl mother, however, did not.
When her dad's business requires them to leave their cushy Brooklyn life for the beachy ways of a small town on the edge of Georgia, Ellie adjusts to the smaller lifestyle quickly.
Soon she's spending her summer days in the glorious ice cream palor on the docks, making fast friends with the quirky staff and funloving manager. Add in crushing customers, late night bonfires, and a gorgeous beach, and it may just be the best summer ever.
But when her mother doesn't agree with her easy adaption, her new life on the docks gets a little rocky. Will Ellie be able to make her mother see past the end of her own nose, or will this problem need a bigger solution than handmade sundaes?

Forever & Always
Riley is unfiltered. She's melodramatic. She's independent. She's also a hot mess. These things and many more play into the story of Riley Jackson, as she moves with her mother from the suburbs of Pennsylvania, to a small town in Florida, to complete her senior year of high school. Life is anything but perfect for her: she's moving because of her parents' divorce, she's trying to figure out how to get through senior year in a new school, figuring out what to do about college, AND she's reunited with her childhood best friend (and crush), Shane, who may or may not be the same person she once knew him to be. And let's not forget his vengeful ex-girlfriend, Annie, who can't seem to let him go. Attempting to get through life in her own signature and sarcasm-laden way, Riley has to learn the hard way how to make friends, possibly find love and learn that she can't do everything on her own, and most of all, that sometimes, it's okay to live in the moment without planning it all.Complete
Don't Call Me Baby
Jordy feels like she has met the love of her life and everything is almost as if taken out of a fairytale, especially after Archer Finn confronts her about his own feelings for her. The only obstacle for a beautiful relationship to bloom is the fact that Jordy has to leave for university in exactly seven days. Oh, and the fact that Archer is notorious for his player tendencies and cannot be trusted. Can she wear her heart on her sleeve even if it's only for a week? ----- "You've had sex in a car, haven't you?" "I've had sex pretty much everywhere, baby." "Ew, gross." "Why do you think so? Actually doing it in the park isn't-" "I wasn't talking about this, I just really hate pet names. I cringe so hard every time a couple overuses a certain word, thinking it's romantic. It's not! Why is this even a thing?" "Wow, I never thought someone could be this cute while pulling a mom rant." "Shut up." I scrunch up my nose as if I'm offended but my cheeks redden nonetheless. "Okay, baby." ----- PG13: curse words, sexual jokes and innuendos, descriptive kissing scenes This book is planned to be short, sweet and easy to read! I dedicate it to all of my hopeless romantics out there :)Complete
Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her.

To Capture A Heart ✔
*She wasn't looking for love - just snacks and a nap. But then he smiled...* ~True love? Unexpected. Emotional growth? Unwanted. Drama? Inevitable.~ Veronica D'Costa isn't exactly the main character type just - a regular teen: emotionally avoidant, chronically sarcastic, and fully committed to winging her way through life, with her loyal (and mildly chaotic) friend group. One night. One betrayal. That changed everything. Now Veronica's pretending, deflecting, and power-napping her way through emotions. But when a certain boy - golden-eyed, infuriatingly kind, and way too observant - starts asking the right questions, she'll have to do the one thing she's avoided all year: feel. Because surviving senior year means more than just acing math or mastering beer pong - it means facing what broke her, before she lets it define her. She's growing up. She's falling in love. And she might just be the main character after all. Messy, meaningful, and mildly chaotic - this is the year everything changes. Even her. P.S.- This isn't a fairy tale. It's a slightly sarcastic coming-of-age crisis.Complete
