Shedding her former high school image as an "invisible" over-achiever with no love life to speak of, 18-year-old Sam Matthews arrives on her university campus determined to start afresh.
Little did she expect to clash heads with narcissistic genius Mark Burton on the very first day. An unconventionally charming guy who gets under her skin within 30 seconds of knowing her. Just like the boys in the novels she'd devoured as a love-starved teenager.
As their entire class becomes witness to their blossoming friendship and their fiery, witty exchanges, Sam soon realizes she might just be treading along the pages of her OWN romcom, on the flowery path to falling in love with a guy who seemed perfect for her in every way.
After all, it started just like they all do. Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. And they fall in love, just as she knew it.
Or did she?

Even Angels Fall
Christina has had her life figured out for as long as she could remember. The plan was always to get into Harvard and become a journalist. So what if she doesn't have much of a social life? She's got friends. Even one who's pretty close. A busy social calender never fit into the plan. And a boyfriend certainly didn't. Especially with her father's strict rules. Besides there'd be plenty of time for all that later, right? Mike doesn't know what he's doing past the next week. His only plan for the future includes turning out to be nothing like his father. And possibly finding a girl who actually likes him for himself rather than for his face and social status, for a change. He's beginning to think they're all the same, though - pretty and nice to be around for a while, but pretty shallow. Mike and Christina have known each other forever but haven't been close for years. They soon start to question their priorities and why in the world they let their friendship fall apart so long ago. Can their relationship, still so young and fragile, withstand what's ahead?Complete
Faked
"Are you crazy?! Piss off!" Sam Harrison screams. "You can't turn down an opportunity like this, sweetheart. I know you'd die to be seen with me as your boyfriend. Well, fake boyfriend but no one needs to--" "No uhm id rather not be seen with a conceited douche. But thanks for the offer." "A conceited douche that every single girl in this school adores, yes." Football captain Nate Hadley corrected. "Not every girl." Sam had started walking away but stopped abruptly when Nate spoke. "I know you've been dreaming to study in Hadley University for college. Be mine for a month and you will get what you desire." That statement definitely changed Sam Harrison's life forever by making her decide the craziest decision yet. But it doesn't stop there. #27 ChickLit (11/30/15) **This book was only slightly edited so feel free to pinpoint grammatical errors!**Complete

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

"So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.
