ENEMIES TO LOVERS
When Laney Stoke's brother, Chase, finally earns an income, he keeps his promise to her by taking her away from the abusive household she lives in to stay with him and one of his close friends. When she gets off on the wrong foot with a certain one of her brother's friends, she makes it her personal mission (and uses it as a distraction from the loss of direction she feels) to annoy him at any given chance. With sarcasm as her only defense, she embarks on a journey to find self-love.... and maybe some romantic love, too.

[THE WAYARKE SERIES, BOOK #1]
"Take it easy."
"It's never easy with you."
"Good."

Ever since Austin Chanler was young, the NBA has been his dream. The one thing he's wanted for himself. Now a 19 year old second year, eligible for an academy one step away from his goal, he doesn't expect all that comes with it. Starting at a new school and required to move to a small town called Wayarke, he's reunited with his abusive dad, who he's living with this school year, bringing back his grumpy demeanor. Never as grumpy as Akia Rainsong-- his half sister's "sweet" best friend-- the girl nice to everyone but him. When the two clash, a bundle of misunderstandings and banter, the forced proximity between them ignites a fire they both see in each other-- twin flames. Both tainted with secret bruises and angry lies, their story is about being reminded that you can never truly escape from a tragic past until you heal from it. Together.
