I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams.

Let Love Win
Hadley Brian has been in jail more often than the average person and is proud to say that she still holds the top average in her entire musical arts program at the University of California. On top of all that, she manages to keep the secret of living under the care of an orphanage. She's been there as far back as she can remember and yet still the only other person who knows is her best friend Mel. Newcomer Zeek, like the typical guy in this neck of the woods, grows attracted to Hadley. But not for her looks or because of her willingness to put out, but for her musical talent and love for life. Unfortunately, there's one part of her that Zeek never saw coming through the front that Hadley puts up. An unexpected run in on a day out brings Hadley to the biggest decision she's ever had to make: let him in, or cast him out. The answer has always been the same but when it comes to Zeek and the unmistakeable pull that he ultimately has on her, she seems to be doing everything differently. No matter what the answer to her problem is, the question still remains whether or not she will throw out the last 18 years of her life never knowing what love really is, and give it a chance long enough to let love win. *references made to writing original songs but I DO NOT OWN THE SONGS AT ALL*Complete
Love, Lies and Other Games
Love, Lies and Other Games (A Lakehurst Academy Novel) At Lakehurst Academy, love is a game, secrets are currency, and reputations can shatter with a single post. Mila has always been the responsible one-the planner, the problem solver, the friend you call when your life is falling apart. But when she discovers that her best friend Ivy has been secretly dating Chase Carter-the golden boy of Lakehurst, Mila's whole entire world tilts. Not because they're dating, but because of who they used to date. Before Ivy and Chase got together, Ivy was with Vanessa, the dramatic queen bee of student council, and Chase was with Liam, his ex-best-friend-turned-rival. Their breakup was messy. Their new relationship? A ticking time bomb about to mess with Mila's future plans. Now, with the school's anonymous gossip app, RunTellThat, closing in on their secret and old flames out for revenge, Mila has no choice but to do what she does best-damage control so she can save her own future. If she doesn't find a way to shift the attention elsewhere, Ivy and Chase's relationship will go public, and with it, all the drama, betrayal, and chaos that comes with rewriting history. The solution? A bigger scandal. Something distracting. Something shocking. Something completely ridiculous. Like maybe... pretending to date Leo Moretti, the school's most insufferable flirt and Mila's personal nemesis. It's a terrible idea. The worst idea. But at Lakehurst Academy, survival means playing the game-whether you want to or not. And when love and lies start to blur, the most dangerous thing of all... is the truth. #enemiestolovers
