Michelle has loved Rhett for so long that she was willing to give him everything, including her virginity. That is until he stopped her, pushed her away and left her. She tried hard to forget about him and move on with her life. She was doing alright until she faces an unfathomable trauma that leads her directly to him. What will happen when they are forced to face their fears and feelings and are given the chance to be what they always wanted. 

Rhett King not only a star on the field but with the ladies too. He prided himself in being able to catch every ball thrown at him and  being able to land any girl he wanted. He had what every 17 year old wanted, a full ride college scholarship waiting for him, a line of woman for his bed and a best friend, Justin,  that truly was his brother. Underneath the perfect front everyone saw was a guy struggling with his own feelings towards the one girl he could never have. Justin's sister.

Michelle Jones is the smartest girl in school and she knows it. As a 14 year old freshman, she will end up graduating before she turns 16. She does her best to lay low and stay off the radar which is actually pretty easy when you have a brother who happens to be the quarterback of the football team. Everyone is always so entranced by Justin and his best friend Rhett. They never go anywhere without each other. Rhett is pretty much the other brother I never wanted, until he wasn't.

Meet Me After Class by LeighFrankie

So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Firefly by tripledots

Book 1 of The Fly Series . . . His eyes turn red and his jaw begins to tremble. "I'm toxic. I'm arrogant. I'm awful. What else? I'm a misogynist. A sadist. There's no good in me. I screwed up your life. I disgust you. I insulted your mother. You won't ever forgive me." He tightens his jaw before slamming his hand on the wall beside my head. "I know you want to say these things so say it. Tell me, Firefly. Tell me how traumatizing I am. TELL ME!" I don't hesitate. "I love you." His hooded eyes flaming with anger turn pale. He never expected the confession. Heck, I never expected this confession. 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺. . . .

He isn't a bully by nature, he's a bully by choice. He embraces the darkness as his kingdom. But every dark villain is known to have a darker past, right? Less of a grumpy-sunshine genre and more of a dark-meets-light spin-off when the city of Cadford unites these paradoxes with one tangled story that all leads back to the past.
