Adjective - Adverb
"Happening or done in secret"

A rich girl pays a guy in a questionably bloody shirt to drive her cross-country to see her older sister. 
                          ------------
Ashley River, second heiress to her parent's billion-dollar fortune and future doctor, wants to travel to California to see her older sister one last time before she has to begin her first year of college.
Her wish seems like it will be unfulfilled until she (quite literally) bumps into the weird boy from her father's Christmas party four years ago.

Leo Sampson, a simple young man who is only interested in escaping to him and his uncle's cabin for his birthday, finds himself in a hospital after things go array. And soon, he crosses paths with the quiet girl from that stressful Christmas party four years back.

With Ashley seeking an opportunity to visit her sister and Leo now in desperate need of money, the two end up going on the craziest summer road trip of their lives that needs to be sub rosa. 

A coming of age story filled with drama, emotional baggage, and a sweet romance.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.

Meet Cole, Damien, Lennox, and Torrin Bishop, the sons of the newly elected mayor, Richard Bishop. 4 brothers with 4 completely different personalities. Cole is the bad boy. With a "fuckboy" personality, he promises that he can get any girl fall at his feet. After the lies that surrounded the arrest of her brother and Jonathon, Alyssa refuses to let herself trust easily. What happens when Cole makes a bet with one of his friends that he can get a certain Phoenix to fall in love with him and...take her virginity. Damien is the star athlete, he's always been the center of attention and loves it. His only problem, he doesn't do relationships. But, that's perfect for Jade because she's the exact same way. After her parent's divorce she swore she would never fall in love. The two of them quickly turn their relationship from just friends to friends with benefits. What will happen when one begins to develop feelings? Lennox is the leader. He's stubborn, cocky, and everything Nova hates. She's student body president, the leader of 12 different clubs, and fluent in 4 different languages.

What will happen when both Lennox and Nova are offered to compete for an internship at one of the biggest law firms in the city? Torrin is the golden boy, popular and the life of the party.

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS CUTE, HOT, SWEET, SEXY, ROMANTIC, MUSSY, DRAMATIC, EMOTIONAL, INTENSE. Beware. EXTRACT (SUMMARY BELOW): “Like father, like son” The truth of the words hit me then. A cruel smile caught up with me. Somewhere at the back of my head, I couldn’t believe what I had just said, but I refused to let the guilt creep into me. If I called him huge before, I didn’t know what I should be calling him now. His entire six and a half foot frame began expanding animistic-ally. Charging like an angry bull, he reached me in two long strides. His eyes budging in fury. As suddenly as he started, he stopped. “You said what?” “Monster” I whispered back. But unwillingly my eyes dropped on the floor. No he did not scare me, but I could not bring myself to look into his eyes after what I just said to him. Nonetheless, he was a monster. Next thing I know, his large rough hands pulls my waist to his torso. Shocked, I looked at him. My eyes flared at his, my eyebrows raised in aftershocks. I flinched at his touch, but his arm kept me in place. I couldn’t no longer read his eyes. He used his free arm to grip my chin and pull it until my neck stretched back, until I looked directly at him. “Say that again” he repeated. ***########*** Curiosity kills the cat. She had never expected the cost of peeking into a stranger’s room to be her freedom. Rosaline James was what we might call a goody-two-shoe. Her dream trip to England gives her more than she bargained for. Fun, excitement she was expecting, but what she never expected was to fall under the mercy of a monstrous possessive billionaire. Nathan Hamilton. She is certain that dangerous trip to London and back to America under the ruthless Hamilton heir would make her experience heights of hatred. But yet why does it feel like she has instead found the key to love? --------------------- FOLLOW ME TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE BOOK.

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When his family decides to embark on a weekend vacation to Florida for his birthday, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day road trip will change their lives forever. CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times. I tried my best to include as many triggers I could think of, but if you notice anything else in the story that may potentially be one please feel free to let me know and I will add it as a warning. Thank you :) As for genre, this story contains a little bit of everything. I'd say it's an LGBT Coming-of-Age Romantic Comedy Drama. I know that's a lot, lol. This is my first ever attempt at writing a fully-fledged fictional story, so please go easy on me :) I hope you enjoy! This story has a soundtrack! Here's a link to a playlist on Spotify featuring all of the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GRDVy6mLydfwzc8BcguOE
