Ryder's looking for a boyfriend, though he's never really planned on doing so. And the lucky-or perhaps unfortunate-winner of his attention is Blake.
Blake has no friends. So when Ryder suddenly drops into his life, it seems like everything he's wanted. Granted, he didn't really ask for a whole lot. But when the complexity of companionship starts troubling Blake in ways he's never encountered, he finds himself in the middle of all the drama-especially because Ryder is the cause of all of it.
Neither of them wanted to choose each other. But they need each other more than either of them realizes.
Can Blake overcome these adversities to have the friendship he's always wanted, or will things take a sharp turn in another direction? Will Ryder be able to fix the relationships that are falling apart?

Ryder Lay. A girl who has always been 'one of the guys'. She's the only girl on her high school varsity football team and her friends are her teammates, otherwise known as the biggest jocks of the school, the top of the social hierarchy. Ryder is a total tomboy. Doesn't care about clothes or makeup. Doesn't care about dating. Doesn't care about hanging out with girls or going to the mall. Doesn't care about any of that kind of stuff. She cares about football. Anything and everything about football. And laughing with her friends, her fellow football players, especially her best friends, Topher and Parker. But things start to crumble. After all, drama never leaves. Topher and Ryder's friendship starts to strain when Topher starts dating Ryder's enemy. And when an awful person from Parker's traumatic past shows up, things go downhill. And it certainly doesn't help that a ton of crazy stuff is going on when Topher, Parker, and Ryder are all up for the scholarship of their dreams. But, for Parker, does being up for this scholarship mean he has to quit surfing, the one thing that's been keeping him going though his crazy, traumatic life? Through all of this, will Ryder, who's never felt a certain love in her life, find new feelings for Topher? Oh wait. Maybe Parker?Complete
It All Started With a Diary
I anticipated every breath, and every word. Each day, you could only take an uneducated guess at what he would say. What he would do. My heart tremor as he leaned in. "I was wrong, sweetheart. I was so wrong," he whispered, the words tickling my ears. "Because with you, there are no doubts. Only love, so, so much love. And, I will spend every single day, every minute, and every fucking second proving that I deserve it." *** Kimberly Wrighton, the new girl who is desperate to make it through her senior year with as little issue as possible. The girl with a diary containing her insecurities, her secrets, and her true self. Kade Ryder, the typical popular guy who feeds off of fights, anger, and violence. The guy that gets whatever he wants, no matter who or what he has to destroy in order to get it. The bad boy that girls swoon over. The guy with a heart so cold, he would laugh in the face of someone's insecurities. This time, though, Kade had gone too far. What if the most rudest, arrogant, popular, and most beautiful man in your school took your diary? What if he read every thought, every bare emotion, and every word of it? What if, in the venture to get it back, you begin to see the real man behind the cold, hard exterior, the real you, and the real truth?Complete

Under the Storm
Rain Foxx has spent most of her life fighting against the world, and herself. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age, she's used to people seeing her as "trouble." With a sharp tongue, a bruised heart, and a past full of secrets, Rain keeps everyone at arm's length - until she meets Ryder Stone. Ryder is the kind of guy who never plays by the rules. With a reputation for trouble, a history of bad decisions, and a temper to match, he's the last person anyone expects to open up. He doesn't believe in anything - not love, not redemption, and certainly not the emotional baggage of someone like Rain. But when their worlds collide, something shifts. Rain is unlike anyone he's ever met - raw, real, and unapologetic about her brokenness. For the first time in a long time, Ryder can't look away. He doesn't want to care, but he does. He doesn't want to get involved, but somehow, he can't stay away. As their relationship intensifies, the lines between love and chaos blur. Ryder's demons are darker than Rain could ever imagine, and her mental health is an unpredictable storm. Together, they are a whirlwind of passion, pain, and self-destruction. But as they lean on each other, they both realize that sometimes, you have to face your worst fears to find the person who will make you feel whole. Will their love be the storm that breaks them, or the force that helps them rebuild? In the battle between sanity and madness, can they find peace in each other's arms, or will the world tear them apart before they can truly learn how to love?
