Take a trip back in time to the summer of 1979. Disco was dying, the wacky tobacky was everywhere, and the fashion was becoming a little bit better. It is also the summer that the infamous "Disco Demolition Night" took place at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Sheena struggles with her crush on the punk-rocker Jayce, Shari struggles with her family that is falling apart, and Tony has a struggle that is so deeply hidden, his best friends do not even know. Follow the three friends through a summer of love, work, danger, and melting vinyl.

~Here's a sneak peak just for you~
I ran the two blocks back to Tony's house as quickly as I could with the gray bag fluttering around me. I was sweaty, I was out of breath, and I looked homeless by the time I arrived in front of Tony's house. I was also just in time for Jayce to show up. I stopped in my tracks as soon as I saw his shaggy halo of golden blonde hair with his signature aviators perched on the bridge of his nose. Per usual, he was wearing his deliciously tight jeans and a band t-shirt. Tonight's shirt of choice was Pink Floyd. Luckily, he didn't see me, so I ducked behind a neighbor's bush to rip the shirt off and hide it in the weeds. I popped back up only to be horrified to see Jayce and his friends staring at me.
"Uh, I thought there was a cat in the bush, turns out it's just a wadded-up t-shirt. Weird," I shrugged.
"Sounds like this party's about to be wild if someone's already running around naked," Jayce laughed.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
Manic Crush (Book #1 Crush Series)
Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....Complete
The Run ©2014 Sydney Wray
"Who the hell are you?" A boy demanded. He had tousled, chestnut hair. His green eyes were wide with confusion and red from irritation. The boy was also shirtless, paired with red and blue striped boxers. He was, after all, attractive. His abs shown a deep indent in his chest and I forced my eyes not to linger. "Who are you?" I sputtered. He squinted. "I'd like to think you have the common decency to answer me first. You just sprayed me with mace." I frowned, not enjoying his attitude, and crossed my arms over my chest. "Lindsey. Lavender's best friend." I explained as if he should've known. "Oh I'm sorry that wasn't included in the handbook." He spit. I smirked. "Well I'm sleeping here." "So am I."

Straight lines, blurred boundaries
"I don't know why, but I found myself staring at Brodie. His messy brown sun-bleached hair, his tanned skin, the way his tank top clung to his chest. He was wearing board shorts, just like me, but somehow he looked... different. I must've been staring for too long because he caught me. His green eyes met mine, and instead of laughing it off, he stepped closer. Our dancing turned... well, suggestive. We were moving against each other in ways that would definitely get us kicked out of any family-friendly venue. Our hands were going up each-others tanks, and down the waist bands of our board shorts. But the crowd loved it. People were shouting, clapping, and whistling. That was all that mattered, right? Surely everyone knew we were just messing around. Brodie was like a brother to me. Right? I should've stopped him. I should've laughed it off, stepped away, something. But I didn't." Brodie has been Havens' best friend for as long as he can remember. They've faced every challenge in life together. But when boundaries are blurred and everything takes a turn, Haven doesn't know what to do.Complete
