For anyone that has ever had no idea of what to do with their life and felt lost, or like they didn't belong anywhere, but mistakenly found a home in someone else. Actually based on true events.
Skye Valdis has no idea of what to do with her life and she feels lost. She dropped out of college, escaped to Spain, and immediately upon returning to Maryland, she reconnected with Damien Brandt - the mischievous, alluring bad boy that she briefly knew in high school. They have an instant connection that she has never experienced before. He makes her feel weightless, like she is free, and floating in a manic, supercharged state of actual bliss, in which time and the worries of the future don't exist.
But, why does she feel an ominous, foreboding sense of dread when she thinks of the possibility of them together? Too late, Skye begins to realize that Damien is an emotionally unavailable, drug-addicted alcoholic. Can her love transform him?

Chasing Charming ✔️

But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan.

So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
