Too bad it couldn't always stay that way. One fateful day her dad was on his way to pick her up from school from cheer leading practice, when a semi truck ran a red light and killed her dad instantly from the impact. Her mother had passed away when she was very young, so she was forced to go live with her father's parents. Her grandparents, who keep in mind lived on a farm. Never having to work for anything in her life, she finds out what it's like to have to work, put others before herself, and be selfless. Join her on her journey of finding love, making new friends, and discovering her family routes.

The Wanderers
Dad cleared his throat, looked down at his hands, and then to me, "Which means, we're moving," he said. I still don't get it. So I looked to Mom for a clue, but she remained unreadable. Elsa appeared excited by this news. Dad looked to me. "Easton, what do you think about that?" he asked, but I don't want to tell him how confused I am. So instead I ask, "When," thinking whatever it is must be happening soon. "Well, we are planning on renting the house to get a little income for it, so we need to look for renters. Your mother and I already found a new house for us to live in." There it is, the explanation. We're getting a new house, like an upgrade, but why? What's wrong with the house we have now?" I'm putting together the dates and we should be seeing potential renters soon. Uncle Rob's bringing by a For Rent sign tomorrow, so I need you two to clean up your rooms." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Well they want me to start next month, but they are forwarding my pay, so I'll have the money in advance.

"Well, I've been in contact with this guy, who owns a house that was recently put on the market. He wants to rent it and it's really cheap." "Mom, we need details," Damien exclaimed, getting just as excited as Mom. "Okay, then get in the car and I'll show you our new house!" So we did.Complete

"This book is the perfect mixture of deep and hilarious. I'm in love with that" - crackhead4ever Teen fiction has given cheerleaders a bad rap. And stereotypical appearances. Courtney knows this.

In fact, she's worked for years to portray the perfect image of an upbeat, easy going person. An image that gets harder to hold on to when: The new girl takes an instant dislike to her. Her best friend decides to run against her for Senior Class President. Her football team captain boyfriend breaks up with her. And, oh yeah, she humiliates herself in front of the whole school.

Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA)
Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesignComplete

So Nor found herself boarding a bus at the beginning of August to live on a stud for the last six weeks of her summer holidays with lots of other girls. And what looked like a total waste of time turned out to be the best summer of her life.Complete

Our rival schools are an hour apart, my best friend's turning secretive, my parents are controlling, and my brother's still an ass, gearing toward winning the state championship, and still doesn't like my boyfriend, Logan. I get it, they're rivals, and I kinda feel like Logan's team might be better but this season will decide. Being the star rival quarterback's girlfriend brings big rumors and big drama, especially when elements of our pasts resurface - his jaded ex whatevers, and the secrets I thought I'd buried and moved beyond. All of this while I just want to figure out where to go for college and what for. Some relationships will always stand the test of time and distance, while others crumble by the time the high school dust settles.
