Hope Phillips is an attractive, shy, naïve 17 year-old girl seeking to begin a new, drama free life in college where she can be herself without drowning in a sea of peer pressure, boys who only want one thing, and backstabbing friends.
However, she soon discovers that no such place exists.
Pushing the hurt of her parents' recent divorce aside and learning to live with her party-craving, unpredictable roommate, Hope must keep herself occupied with homework and projects to numb the sting of her lingering bad decisions that once ended up in her arrest during high school. As her new college life begins to take off, trouble stirs once again in Hope's heart when Jace Giovanni, a charming sophomore, flatters her with attention and sweet words. However, she soon finds herself in a familiar situation from her high school partying days, one that she tried so hard to avoid since swearing off boys. Low and behold, when Hope meets Aiden Williamson, a tall, dark, and handsome classmate, her feelings become even more conflicted and her heart even more confused. To top it all off, her troubled roommate soon reveals shocking news that brings Hope head-to-head with a painful secret from her past.
Didn't Hope select a college away from home to leave the drama behind and obtain a fresh start? Will she be forced to stare her past in the eye and ask God for forgiveness? Surrounded by a whirlwind of betrayal, resentment, and ultimately learning how to let go and forgive, Hope must also learn to stop running in the dark from her broken road and learn to walk in the light by faith.

Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach."

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company.

However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy.

After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy.

He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Concluída
Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Concluída
