Losing Grip by Ravenclaw_Pride002

Senior year had never seemed so daunting. After her sister died, Avery found out just how much she hid behind Riley and how comfortable it had been to live through her stories instead of living her own. Realizing that and making a change, however, were two different things, as Avery soon understood. But life had not given her much of a choice. Maintaining a safe distance between herself and all those who used to know Riley was her miserable attempt at dealing with the grief. But she saw her strategic plan crumble, forced to face the friends she had been pushing away. The year she believed she could breeze through was revealing itself to be the year she must face all the pain she had been repelling. And there was no one to hide behind now.

He was the captain of the varsity football team and was devoted solely to his sport. Football was the only reason he got a full ride to a college he didn't even apply to. Clemson University. Nothing stood in the way of James's chances for the school, but there was one major obstacle for Brooke. All but one of the dorm rooms were full and she couldn't afford an apartment. The only dorm room remaining was James Field's. How will Brooke, the innocent honor student, cope with living with James, the football jock bad boy? Find out in "The Bad Boy's Roommate."
