In Brooklyn, New York, life is very tough for Cleo Andrews when her father starts to drink and gets very aggressive with her. She shows up to her school, William Clemons High School, with bruises on her body.
The most popular girl group constantly makes her life harder than it needs to be, but Cleo keeps her head down to avoid more trouble.
When Cleo's school counselor, Mrs. O'Donnell, calls CPS on Cleo's father, things get way out of hand.
But when the hottest guy at school, Lucas Rodriguez, shows some compassion for her and tries to help her in any way he can, there is still hope that she may not be a total freak. They also become closer than Cleo would like to admit.
Will Cleo be able to handle her personal life and her school life mixing together or will it just drive her to the end of the earth?

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete

Fragile
I'm sorry to say that you've come to the wrong page if you're seeking for perhaps a toxic romance story. There will be drama, but it will not be the cliched, repetitious kind. Something new and exciting for the heart and soul. Expect to raise your standards and learn something new. This is a narrative for ladies (particularly women of color) who are self-conscious about their appearance. Who are in need of a confidence and love boost? This is a book that will either bring light into people's lives or eternally change them. Cleo and Marcelo's love is unique. Simple yet fervent! Romance does not have to be difficult all of the time. Please bear with me as this is my first book. I guarantee it will get better! Reminder!!! This is an erotic, very high-heat love story. A big part of Cleo and Marcelo's journey is physical, so you will see Marcelo thinking about her body, touching her and wanting her often. The passion lives on the page as much as the feelings. Here's a little sneak peak 😉 ... "I will write after. Right now I want your legs on my shoulders and your taste on my tongue until you cannot say my name without shaking."
The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016Complete
