Love finds you when you're not looking for it, but how do you accept something you weren't looking for?
Presumed first pick in the MLS draft, Chase Alexander is a star at the New York Academy. He doesn't believe in one true love and senior year of college isn't the time to start. It's his last year in the championship and he refuses to lose it, especially with the scouts and media all over him. A relationship is the last thing on his mind because the draft isn't the only thing giving him sleepless nights.
Skye Taylor has been playing the supporting character in her own life. She has done nothing extraordinary yet. She hasn't fallen head over heels in love, she didn't win the spell bee competition, and she never had two hot men fighting over her. All in all, she has experienced nothing except one unfortunate event that still makes her hesitant to love. Finding love isn't on her to-do list but getting accepted into Brown University is.

[Excerpt] No More Maybes (a No More Maybes novel)
*full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* Can you believe in someone who can't believe in himself? Maybe... Maybe I just wanted to get through Year 12, coaching, and soccer with no distractions. Maybe life had other plans. Maybe I shouldn't be drawn to Cole; the new guy who gets into fights and smokes. Maybe I should want to date Jaime; the nice, steady guy who's always been there. Maybe you can't help who you fall for, whether they're good for you or not. Maybe it shouldn't matter as long as you're happy. Maybe each new bruise on Cole's face is a reason to walk away. Maybe there's more to the secrets he hides and that's a reason to be there for him. Maybe a lifetime of pain can't be washed away by anyone else but you. Maybe finally proving that someone else isn't going to walk away is enough. Or, maybe it's time I got out of my own head and stopped wondering. Maybe it's time I just live by my own rules and find out the answers to all those maybes. It's time for no more maybes. A sweet YA romance about first love and learning to understand different experiences, this is Cole's story from Aurora's point of view. The companion novel, Gray's Blade, is from Cole's point of view; much like the characters themselves, Cole's version is darker, dirtier, and rougher. Read through to the end of No More Maybes for a sneak peek at chapter one of Cole's side. Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.Complete
