Shy, muddle-minded and kooky. That's Ren, vocalist of BLACK MONDAY. Despite being a little doo-lally behind the scenes, she'll do anything to topple that rival band, Electrixity, who's been garnering attention for too long.
But, senior year is on her back and so is her double life. Also, who is that enigmatic Joseph Reid who's can't stop looking her way?
Love stories need words and words to write but a perfect love song needs only a guitar pick and a pencil.

He'll laugh, stumble, and probably cause a bit of chaos along the way-but this isn't just about pranks or being the resident oddball. Growing up comes with sharper lessons than fangs, and Ren's about to learn how deep those teeth can cut. Because in the end, If you dont look too close, it can still be a shooting star.
Falling For An Inmate
Prison Diaries: Book 1 (complete) A law-abiding student gets entangled with a broody inmate when she discovers there has been a miscarriage of justice. She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.Complete
