So this semester, she's stepping up her game. She has a plan.
Study every possible minute.
Never skip class.
Talk to Lily at least twice a week.
Nothing else. Nat's only focus is on her plan.
Throw in Kip. Just graduated from a local technical college and working as a mechanic in his uncle's car shop. Never in his life has he made a plan. But he likes it that way. Helmet and leather jacket in hand, Kip loves feeling the careless wind against his skin.
When Nat's trying to get rid of all distractions, Kip's ready to embrace them all. Will Nat be able to stick to her plan, or will everything be up in the air?

Before you
She's always been a hopeless romantic, even though love has never seemed to work in her favor. Being one of the most popular girls in school-a talented artist, a writer, and a volleyball champion-she was confident, yet still doubted anyone would truly see her beyond her looks. That is, until Nate entered the picture. Nate, the arrogant, confident final-year student, seemed to have every girl wrapped around his finger. And yet, for some reason, he set his sights on her. A chance encounter turned into bold flirtation, and now she finds herself caught between intrigue and caution. Should she give him a chance? Or is he just another heartbreaker playing a game? Between school, deep talks with her effortlessly elegant best friend Zoe, and the looming senior party she almost forgot about, things are getting interesting. And as much as she tries to play it cool, she can't ignore one undeniable fact-Nate is getting under her skin.
It's Always Been You
REWRITTEN Fia Romero thought her life was perfectly content - until she met Wes Hamilton, her boyfriend Nate's devilishly handsome dorm mate. While Fia had been blissfully ensconced in a committed three-year relationship, Wes didn't believe in tying himself down. For him, college was a buffet of options to be explored and experienced to the fullest without the constraints of commitment. Their unlikely friendship blossomed from an outrageous proposition - Wes wanted Fia to be his matchmaker and find him a girl worth forsaking his wild ways for. What started as an innocent game between polar opposites soon ignited an undeniable chemistry that neither could ignore, no matter how hard they tried. What started as match-making turned into a fake-dating relationship, leading to confused feelings and room-fulls of tension. With each coy smile, each heated exchange of banter, the lines between reality and reckless desire began to blur. Suddenly, Fia found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, commitment, and the person she believed was her soulmate. A little game of playing Cupid turns into something more and maybe, the person who has always been the one for you was standing right under your nose the whole time.Complete

The Line Drive
"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper. She's smart, focused on school, the paper, and her TA responsibilities. Junior year should be starting off easy for Dane Sawyer. He's the star pitcher of the baseball team; attractive, athletic, desirable, with a hot girlfriend. Unfortunately, he's also failing computer science which is the one thing he sees that is in the way of his pro career. Different in more ways that one, when the two run into each other in the library, it's an immediate disaster. But when Dane convinces Mackenzie to be his tutor, both of their lives begin to change.Complete
