My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink.
Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't.
Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what.
Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

Not The Plan
Okay so... I didn't mean to catch feelings. It started as a plan. A stupid one. Fake date the quiet guy. Make my ex jealous. Easy. Clean. No emotions. Dean Bennett wasn't supposed to matter. He's quiet, doesn't care what anyone thinks, and barely even talks to people. But he said yes. And suddenly, we're walking through the halls holding hands and pretending we're something we're not. But here's the thing: It doesn't feel fake anymore. Not when he looks at me like that. Not when I actually start wanting him to hold my hand. Now I don't know if I'm still trying to get my ex back... Or if I'm falling for the boy I never planned for. This wasn't supposed to happen. It was never part of the deal. But feelings? Yeah. They don't follow rules.Complete
Side Note: I Think I Love You
Side note: never fall for your fake boyfriend. When my best friend convinced me to write a love letter to my crush, I didn't expect it to all go south. Because instead of the most realistic scenario-him reading the letter and rejecting me privately-the last thing I'd ever expected to happen did. The letter doesn't end up in his locker. But in the locker of one of the most popular football players in the senior class, Ian Bale. Who also just happens to be my crush's older brother. Luckily, he promises to keep it a secret. But our actions start spreading rumors about us and in the next minute, I'm thrown into a fake relationship. But it works out for the both of us. Ian saves me from potential embarrassment while I help get his friends off his back about his dating life (or lack thereof). However, as the month progresses, I find myself enjoying more and more of his company. From his cheesy pick-up lines to his sense of wonder and even his nerdy glasses. My priorities begin to shift and I can't help but be a little terrified of the prospect of trusting another guy again. But I think I can make an exception. For fans of Jenny Han, Cookie O'Gorman, and happily ever afters with a sprinkling of real world problems, get ready to dive into the first installment of this beachside romance.Complete
SHOOTING YOUR SHOT (#1 in Soccer Club Series)
"Everything happens for a reason" Taking the decision to go alone to my brother's wedding was never a easy decision but I took it, even though I hate how I have to face and answer my clan members. But when an unexpected 6'2, brown hair and hazel eyed person appears in front of me and proceeds to tell me or should I say order me, "You aren't going there alone. I will be your date." His words stun me. I might actually faint. A person or my best friend's brother who I rarely interact with, thanks to his rude nature wants to be my date to my brother's wedding. My author self is quite speechless. This might make a good romance novel, no wait! A good murder novel it is. "Are you dead?" "No, I am stunned. What wrong did I do to receive your fellowship?" He raises his eyebrows and glances at his watch and then glares at me like I dared waste his time by asking him questions. Then so be it. I hope whatever games my life is playing right now, I hope they make me win or keep both of us alive. Because I don't know how long will I survive without killing this 6'2 grumpy ass or how long will he survive without killing me. God, help me!Complete

Starting With You
Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**Complete

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
