For Yvonne Hermosa, what matters most is to make her Mother proud and make his Father come home. And what way could a girl like her do it? Study hard, Jump hard, and make it pretty.
So when her hard-earned sport is about to crumble down because of a failing grade, she has no choice but to convince the ever enigmatic Kai Ikeda to tutor her.
For Kai Ikeda, what matters most is to give a better life for his Father and sister. He's a scholar and has a night shift part-time job, which makes his schedule pretty tight to still have time for his training.
So when Yvonne offered him a practical deal he can't seem to refuse too, he thought of the things that matter most to him.
A deal
A bargain
and a little electricity going on
two young hearts are about to play destiny's unyielding sport where others are not fortunate enough to win it. With a tragedy just waiting to strike over them, will they finally know what really matters most?

The Best Friend Equation
Aria Matthews is in love with her best friend, Lucas Miller. It is the best kept secret since Area 51 and she knows she would take it to the grave. But things start changing in her senior year of high school when another of her friends takes it upon herself to set Aria up with the captain of the football team, who, incredibly, seems to be interested in her as well. And she doesn't understand why Lucas suddenly grows a stick up his butt about the whole dating deal.

Her Brother's Best Friend - Aching Hearts Series #2
If asked, baby Emily Robinson would have gleefully said that, her life revolved around two cornerstones: volleyball, Riley. Volleyball was the passion that gave her life. Riley was the "special friend" that fueled said passion and offered an otherwise insecure, shy little girl the means to grow up strong, confident, badass. Professional volleyball was a dream close to becoming true. Riley was reality. The most reassuring one. If asked, Emily would have said, she could not live without those two. That's why when, in a matter of months, she loses both, Emily's life starts spiraling down. The self consciousness about her looks goes from easily containable to fullout war waging deep inside her, menacing to bring her down any minute. So when, four years later, Riley comes back, he finds that his cutely shy Honeybee has turned into a beautiful quasi woman that is inexplicably paralyzed by fears. How can he help her regain the strength she had? And what happens when he starts realizing that indeed, his Honeybee is no longer a child, she's become a dangerously attractive girl. How can he help her fight her demons, without letting his mind and heart stray? He can't fall for the same child he used to babysit ... or can he?

Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance)
When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).Concluída
Sprint
Book #4 in the Medley Series ARCHER SALISBURY: We're in the last sprint before the Olympics, and my spot on the Medley team is hanging by a thread. I don't have time for distractions... or competition. But I get both in the form of an aggravating new roommate and annoyingly talented teammate: Leroy James. With my parents breathing down my neck and my team taking a liking to Leroy, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. And to top it all off, Leroy is devastatingly handsome and completely unavailable-keeping my eyes to myself has never been more crucial. Or impossible. He's the rival I never wanted and the person I crave more each day but can never have. This year is going to be hell. LEROY JAMES: Changing city, college, and team a year before the Olympics is less than ideal. Also not ideal? Sharing a dorm with a deviously attractive swimmer with a mean streak. Archer Salisbury hates me on sight. He's rich, ruthless in the pool, and has a girlfriend for every day of the week. Between caring for my father and trying to swim myself into a spot on Team USA before it's too late, I don't have time for this new rivalry, but winding him up is too easy and too much fun. Archer is intent on making my life more miserable than it already is, and yet I can't help craving a taste. He's the forbidden fruit; I only want to corrupt him. I'll be going straight to hell.Concluída
