Jason Young grew up watching his father play basketball and hearing about his legacy. In high school, Robert Young led the Oak Lake Lions to victory in the North Carolina state championship. An injury in college kept him from playing professionally, but he never stopped loving the game.

Jason has inherited that same love-and he feels driven to succeed where his father couldn't. By the time he's a senior at Oak Lake High School, he has his entire life mapped out. He plans to win the state championships and go on to play basketball at Duke University. After that, he'll go pro and marry his high school girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah is so sure about Jason's future that she's all but planning the wedding!

On the outside, Jason looks supremely confident, but in reality he is slowly caving under the extreme pressure his father has heaped on him. Jason is expected to be the ultimate basketball star, but senior year provides several daunting tests for the seventeen-year-old. A devastating event and a surprising new passion cause him to question what he really wants from life and whose dreams he is fulfilling. Is he content to simply walk in his father's footsteps, or is there something else waiting for him after graduation?All Rights Reserved

Bethany Ford - A Young Justice Novel (Robin/Dick Grayson Romance) [Completed] by bgrayson2017

[I apologize for how immature this book reads. I wrote this when I was like 14 and haven't fixed it since. Warning: cliche plots and unnecessary cursing ahead] Bethany Ford isn't your average, everyday teenager. At fifteen, she's already mastered more than 12 fighting styles, mastered the art of street-conning, and is already about to live on her own. She can defeat and overcome anything. Well... almost anything. Just when Bethany hits the streets in order to get away from her abusive family, she drops into Gotham City. Literally. With the Motherbox, Bethany is able to travel to a whole new dimension; one that includes the Justice League and their sideki- I mean, apprentices. If holding one of the most powerful objects in the universe isn't hard to believe, meeting the Team is a whole different story. From Kid Flash's constant flirting to Superboy's continuous brooding, the Team fits together like a well-oiled machine, no matter how different they all are. Enter: the alluring, charming, and amusing Boy Wonder. Robin is filled with mischief and adventure, which is everything to distract Bethany. But will she be willing to trust him enough with her secrets? How far will trust go before it breaks? From living in the Wayne Mansion, starting school at Gotham Academy, and joining the Team, everyone knows that trouble is never far from paradise. The big villains begin to take notice of the spirited and talented new heroine. When a threat from the Light is revealed, can she afford to put all her trust in these new magnetic strangers and accept the Team's help? Or will the Light succeed in ensnaring Bethany? Will she ever settle in with the Team, or will they move on without her? Without further ado... a daring, bold, and heart-leaping novel. Prepare to get OVERwhelmed. [COMPLETED]

High on air (WIW series #1) by JessicalovesJ

Book 1 of the what I want series. From a young age, Jasmine knew exactly what she wanted in life. She had crafted a clear vision for her future; attending school, building a successful career, traveling the world, and ultimately attracting a handsome white partner. But then in came Kalon, smoking hot, panty melting, definitely too dangerous for her health Kalon. He came into her black and white world like a storm, and from then on nothing was ever the same again. ************** Fuck him! It was always that smile, that confident, arrogant smirk, that taunted and laid her well thought out plans to waste. She just wished he wasn't so hot! so him!!! Damn that bastard for making her dream of him, fantasize about him, why couldn't he just be like every guy she let into her life, and fucking fade away. Fuck him! A/n: Get ready for a thrilling ride! Our two leads are fierce, driven, and utterly ambitious, both laser-focused on their ultimate goals. Their instant attraction ignites a fierce internal battle as they resist the pull towards each other, but the sizzling tension is too powerful to withstand. Watch as the magic of the author's pen weaves their destinies together in a whirlwind of passion and ambition! Warning: My novel is not fast-paced; my characters take the time to get to know each other and form a genuine connection before entering into a relationship. If you are looking for a story where the two leads jump into a physical relationship within seconds of meeting, then this is not the book for you. However, if you prefer a romantic novel that focuses on building a meaningful connection, then I invite you to read on.

Every Saint Needs a Sinner by _merrittking_

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.

Years later, her boyfriend was murdered. She witnessed all of these deaths, right in front of her. But the worst part is, she survived. Her father blamed her for her mother's death. Their ghosts haunted her dreams. She knew all too well that allowing herself any form of attachments to somebody else would only end up with her, picking up shattered pieces of her heart with bloody fingers. And twice is enough, Vanessa didn't want any more part with that. But then her father sent her to Willacy, Texas to finish the remaining six months of her senior year. She hated her predicament though she couldn't do anything but to agree; for Art School would not be just a dream if she completed this deal her father gave her. And that's where she met Jackson Matthews, the son of the cattle ranch owner where she would spend the rest of her senior year. He's cocky. He thinks he's funny. He is full of himself. But Vanessa couldn't help but admit that Jackson Matthews showed her that there is more to life than loss. He promised he'd catch her if she falls. Now she's just waiting for life to test that promise. However there's more to her mother and boyfriend's death that is yet to be uncovered. Sometimes, secrets are too dark that they are better left alone. But those dark secrets can't stay hidden forever; it would always find its way to visit Vanessa and remind her what loss is, again.
