New Adult Interracial Romance.

When it hurts too much to live, how does one find the strength to stay alive and find hope again?

Reiko Nakano has a charmed life. Not only does the twenty-three-old come from a life of luxury because of her celebrity parents and supermodel sister, she's best friends with the biggest brother and sister pop duo in the world- Gio and Gem Grove. But what the public assumes is wrong different because of what Reiko suffers in private. She feels she's an outcast in her own family because of her ptosis and her social anxiety. She then makes the biggest mistake of her life and tries to turn her lifelong crush on Gio into something more. His cruel rejection after she lets him take her virginity leaves her heartbroken.

Reiko hides in the least likely of places- the small town of Albee, Pennsylvania. There she enjoys her anonymity and enrolls in summer classes at Maison University. She hopes she can fit in as a student, but life continues to play tricks on her when she's hit in the face by a football from one of the most popular boys on campus, Will Forest. But this accidental but memorial meeting will help heal her fragile emotions because Will shows her how special she is to those she meets, including him.

She isn't sure what to make of Will. He's too nice and sweet, and treats her like gold. She accepts his attempts at romance even though it's only temporary. But as the summer flies by, she doesn't want to give Will up, who doesn't know the truth about her "vacation". And when Gio arrives in town, and threatens to out Reiko, she has some hard choices to make. Does she come clean to Will so she can decide to finally live on her own terms and embrace the amazing woman Will thinks her to be?

**A Romance, Teen Fiction, and YA Featured Novel** **Romance Reads 2024 Winner in "Friends and Family"!** Worlds collide when a formerly overweight teen befriends a blinded football player and is forced to confront her growing feelings for the boy who lost it all. --- Tay Statin had always thought a perfect high school career was his God-given right. He had it all; perfect grades, scholarships to big-name schools, and football skills. Everything someone like him needs in Tennessee. But all that is stripped away when a car accident takes away his brother and his chances at a Division I scholarship. Although his body healed, his vision hasn't. He might never play football again, and the prospect has left him bitter and unhappy. Emori Hagen was "the fat girl" all her life. She grew accustomed to people laughing at her. But, with the help of her determination, she lost all the weight and finally achieved the body of her dreams. The only thing left to remind her of her past is the aching feeling every time she eats an apple instead of a cookie. What Emori isn't expecting on her return to school is to find a broken Tay Statin who no longer smiles, rarely speaks, and doesn't care about anything or anyone around him. He's just existing. But the pain in his eyes is something she understands all too well. Can Emori help him find the hope he has lost? - -- Started: April 5th, 2020 Completed(Unedited): August 30th, 2021 Undergoing a new round of edits offline Word count: 73,951 Character banners by @avadel Cover by @Shreya_VA

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

She hasn't dated anyone since she lost Justin- it always felt too soon. Now, she thinks she's ready to start over, ready to move forward and give dating another try.

Or will the city that stole the love of her life give her a second chance at happily ever after? ...... Liam has been called many things in his life, but 'playboy', 'cheater', and 'f*ckboy' are not included in that list. He's one of the good ones. The best friend, the big brother, the papa bear. But after years and years of concentrating on his career and his family, he finally thinks he's found what he's been missing in his life- romance. The only problem? The woman he's interested in may not be ready for anything serious. She's been through a lot in her life, including losing the man she loved more than anything in the world. To complicate matters, the man she lost was one of Liam's best friends. Will Liam be able to show her that new love can grow after tragedy?

Will she be able to learn from her mistakes and protect her heart this time around? Emma must make a tough decision: allow him to reenter her life with the possibility of breaking her heart again, or take the opportunity to start afresh and find new love. She must decide if staying the same or taking a chance on something new is the right choice for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This story was originally a 1D fanfiction uploaded in wattpad year 2015 with 13 Chapters. Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked. Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall, and Liam will always have a special place in my heart. But for inspiration purposes, I now imagine my BTS boys for this story, particularly JK and V!
