Aren't one sided crushes fun?

NOT!

18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property.

It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California.

But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops.

But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be.

As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both?

Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.

In the heart of Texas, football reigns supreme. The same holds true in Brighton, Texas, a small-town North of Waco where the Grizzlies try to make a run for the state championship. Every summer, the team comes together, pausing life to focus solely on the game. Scholarship offers come by the dozen for most players who want to stay in Texas, but for Clarke Harbor, he works harder to find the best college or university that doesn't offer a scholarship that would remand him to Texas. His dream is to play long enough to get his education and forget about football after graduating, even though his family has more than enough money to send him to school; Clarke wants to make his own path in life, but as most high school students discover that life isn't always that cut and dry when loves creeps through the cracks. Clarke and Tracy finally give in to their feelings, but as one dreams of success in the business world, the other is drawn to acting on the grandest stage of all, Broadway. Destiny is never kind but can prove fair with the right timing. Tracy's always been about leaving Brighton, but when she admits how she feels to Clarke over the long-hidden crush, she abandons her own promise to be with him. Instead, Clarke sees their blossoming relationship as a means to push himself further away from Brighton. He promises to follow Tracy, his first serious crush since middle school, to wherever she goes so they can stay together and help each other from returning to their hometown. It's not until the summer before their senior year that the "Honeymoon Days" come to an end with a shocking and disastrous revelation. Still, the pain caused by betrayal surges Clarke and Tracy to find a way to make it work, feeling that destiny has more in store for them. As opportunity knocks, which way will it send Clarke and Tracy as they begin to figure out their lives and where they want to go.

As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.

First love is hard enough. It's new and exciting and absolutely terrifying and maybe even unrequited. When it's difficult for Skyler to move on from her silly little crush, she just has to take a leap of faith... at least that's what she was advised. All that's easy to say, but how hard is it to actually confess your feelings, spell it out and put your heart on the line? Meet Skyler and experience this struggle with her. *************** "What's the worst a confession could lead to?" Skylar thought when she decided to approach her long time crush, everything that followed was absolutely unexpected and totally hilarious... Only, maybe it's not so funny for Skyler. Ayden Smith is a lone wolf, or so she thought. He didn't exactly go out of his way to make friends and was a little too self-sufficient for his own good. Is it even possible he might return her feelings, seems unlikely... but when their paths intertwine, and things get out of hand, what could happen over the course of a summer...? Other than a tonne of embarrassing things that is... **************** If you are in the mood for a sweet heartwarming summer romance with not too much drama, this is the one for you. Note: This story could lead to a lot of second-hand embarrassment, uncontrollable smiling and loud obnoxious laughter. Proceed with caution⚠ *************** Thank you blackwidow999 for the book cover.
