Daisy Jenkins is super excited for her 17th birthday. That's the day her dad will finally let her go on a date with her long time crush, George Downs. He's always seemed to return her feelings, and she feels like he could be the one. 

Mario Lopez - no, not the celebrity - just moved back to Boulder with his family. Daisy hasn't seen them since they were in elementary school - and, boy, have they changed. Mario's no longer the little kid running around the playground. Now he's confident, cool, and beautiful. Daisy can't deny that there's something magnetic drawing her to him. After finding themselves alone exploring the city, making midnight trips to Denver, and showing each other their favorite hangouts, she can't deny the sparks are flying.

She tries her hardest to ignore what's building with Mario, but her birthday is approaching fast.  Along with it, the hardest choice she's ever made: George, her best friend and rock, or Mario, a romance novel come to life. She knows the easy answer is George - but for her, it's complicated.

Trouble In Paradise by MDGary

London Hewitt has always lived in someone else's shadow-her twin's perfection, her parents' expectations, and her own need to be seen. Getting sent to Whethering Heights Academy, a boarding school for troubled teens, feels like another reminder that she'll never be enough. Then she meets Wyatt Jefferson-reckless, magnetic, and the kind of trouble she swore to stay away from. He's chaos wrapped in charm, and somehow, he sees her in a way no one ever has. But Grayson Torres-steady, loyal, and maddeningly sincere-makes her question if love has to hurt to feel real. Between Wyatt's fire and Grayson's calm, London must decide which kind of trouble is worth falling for... and which might break her completely.

Head Over Heels by stephzimmy

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022

Fake Dates and Other Mistakes by alihartwriteratlarge

Elysa Degras' junior year of high school has been off to a rocky start. Soccer practices have been kicking her butt, her advanced math class has really been kicking her butt, and her history teacher just blackmailed her into joining the school's (ultra nerdy) Quiz Bowl team. And if that wasn't bad enough, her recent budding attraction to her best friend has also been complicating her life. Especially since she went and lied about it, blurting some preposterous nonsense about having a secret boyfriend to try and explain all her recent weird behavior. In an attempt to salvage the situation and save her friendship, she decides to enlist the help of one of her brother's friends to pose as the supposed new boyfriend, but there's something more than a little suspicious about Luke Haywood, and it's not just his unnerving ability to make their relationship seem anything but fake. She's almost positive he's hiding something, and with everything else spiraling dangerously out of control, she can't afford to leave his secret in the dark.

Back Roads by Sammers

"What would you do?" Daisy raised a brow and an amused smile quirked up with it. "You want me to make the choice for you? Given my track record, are you sure that's a good idea?" "Your track record is the perfect reason. You've been with your share. You have a better idea than I do as to this choice," she wiped the back of her hand under her eyes once more. "Do I choose the boy who broke my heart more than once. Or do I choose the man who has watched over me all these years?" "You already know your choice, Jazzy." Her friend's brow furrowed. "You called one a boy and attached it to a horrible moment in your life. The other you called a man and called him your protector. Now, if I were a third-party stranger and I heard you refer to each of them in the same manner, I would slap you silly and ask how there could even be a choice. So, answer me this. Why are you still trying to choose?" ***************************************************** All roads lead you home... The only road on Jasmine Meeker's mind takes her away from home. Jasmine has spent twenty-four years in the same do-nothing town. Friday nights had been spent at the high school football games, farming season meant slow traffic twice a year and driving twenty minutes to the nearest town for something better to do. Everywhere she looked it was the same thing just a new year. When her old high school flame strolls in to Dave's Diner asking for her to hear him out, she gets sucked back down a rabbit hole of memories; good and bad. Unwanted advice has her second guessing everything from the past not to mention her future. *COMPLETED* (6/15/19) #1 backroads (10/3/19) #1 backroads (11/18/19) #1 backroads (1/13/20) #1 backroads (9/11/20) #1 backroads ~~Look for it on social media:: #backroadsthenovel

And when they return home to their very different lives, can they find the time for love? ••• I followed Parker down the hall and he unlocked our door, holding it open for me. As soon as the click of the door closed, he cornered me against it, his hands on either side of my head. I held in a breath because of his proximity. "I've been wanting to kiss you since the day I met you," he voiced honestly and nudged his nose against my own. "You taste so good, Paige, you don't even know." I looked away, not being able to handle his words but he quickly brought his index finger under my chin to bring my face back to his.

Excerpt-- Take a breath, Lana. Everything will be okay. My stomach churned when I noticed his perfectly combed chestnut hair walking through the corridor by himself, just like any other day.

He asked, staring deeply into my eyes, practically making me melt. "I'm Lana Hart, we're in the same grade," acting like a robot reciting the speech I had a plan in my head. "Could you please accept this letter?" I bowed my head down like an idiot, may I add waiting for him to take the letter. Soft panic aroused in my chest. Please let this one good thing happen to me. ---- Charming, quiet, intimidating, interesting, smart; Declan Novak was the perfect student at Yvon High School. It was as if he had the 'golden touch'.
