"This prom is not my cup of tea. I would rather be on my roof watching stars." 

When you are the head of your school's cheer-leading team, going to senior prom is an unspoken compulsion. But Valerina Mathews has no interest at all.

Being the school's outcast is sometimes very much easier than being in the spotlight. Being an outcast was a choice for Christian Martin. He could have easily shown off his skills at Football, and had himself positioned at the top of the popularity pyramid. But life was not that simple for him.

Follow Valerina and Christian as they find their way through the summer before college. 

While everyone's High School Romance ends on Senior Prom night, theirs is just beginning.

Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training. None of which resulted in much of a social life. All of that changes though the summer before Lila's junior year of high school when her dad gets a new job in a different state. Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted. Every. Single. One. Except for her... Summer Cynthia. She hides in the corners and under black hoodies to hide her scars and bruises, her bloody arms and cuts, she hides her life. But there is one person who is determined to know what happened to her. Kingston Brag. But he has a mission that he's running from. This book contains one sexual scene, lots of bad words, abuse, violence, all that jazz. If you don't want that don't read the book and comment how it's not appropriate or some crap like a mom. There are two lesbians, a gay man, and a bi mother, so don't freak out if you will I'd rather you not read. Also she's a walking contradiction, don't comment about it, I know. #1// badparents // November 18, 2019 #7//teendrama // February 21, 2020 #17//romance//May 08, 2020 #1//abandoned//March 29, 2021 #5//drama//May 14, 2021 #1//fiction//May 15, 2021 #1//popular//May 18, 2021 #1//chicklit//May 22, 2021 #2//highschool//February 20, 2023 #3//teen//February 20, 2023 #3//teenromance//fFebruary 20, 2023

Lila and Sam. Sam and Lila. Ever since the Alvarez twins were born, that's how it always was. It was always Lila and Sam. Always Sam and Lila. Lila wants to enjoy her senior year, she wants no pressure. Sure, she might regret quitting the soccer team, but she wants no more responsibilities. Those plans are quickly ruined when the kicker of their school's football team is out with an injury. They need someone to replace him, and they turn to the retired soccer star. And much to Sam's dismay, football captain Ashton Westbrook is tasked with getting her ready for the season. But it's fine, it's just for this year. And as for Sam? Well, he catches the eye of nearly every person in their year. But unfortunately for Lila, the only person he really wants is their mutual best friend, Charlie Graham. But she's deemed him strictly off limits to preserve the trio's friendship. She'll just have to deal though, considering he's the only one who Sam hasn't been able to push away yet. And when Sam joins the school play to be closer with Charlie, he has no choice but to see him everyday. His sister will be fine- if she ever finds out, that is. And she's too caught up in her own lies to even notice. Besides, it's just for this year. As the twins life gets more and more separate and convoluted, they might find their likelihood for self-sabotage increase with each day of their senior year. But at least it's just for this year... right? TW: Heavy mental health issues Book Two of the "Just For" Series. Can be read as a stand-alone. Approximately 110k words

He whispers and I can feel his breath against my lips. We're so close. A voice in my head tells me that I shouldn't. I'm better than that. But then there's the louder voice that's so curious. Curious if he still tastes the same, if he's as good as I remember, or maybe even better. I lock eyes with him before his gaze falls to my lips. "Hayden," I whisper. He takes a step closer like we weren't already close enough. And then he slowly fills the space between us, his head dipping so his lips can meet mine. Skylar Myers lives together with her roommate Josie in New Haven. After going to Yale, she decided to stay there but it's been 6 years since she left her hometown Morro Bay on the west coast and her parents want her to visit again. Besides, her old high school friends are throwing a high school reunion. After avoiding her past for years, she finally decides to take a path down memory lane. _____________ Warning ⚠︎︎ This story contains mature content and language.
