Emily Jenkins grew up among music. People loved the sound of her voice and how she played the piano. However, it was her best friend - Adam Williams - who got the opportunity they could only dream of. Then, a misunderstanding completely destroyed their long, close relationship.
Now, Adam is a talented musician, a beyond-handsome idol of millions of young women and a favourite of the press. He performs around the world, attends the most prestigious parties, and sells his albums at light speed. Emily, however, only dreams of one thing - to go back to the worst day of her life and change what was broken. Since then, she keeps away from the ivory keys and the microphone. All her time is spent studying and listening to Adam's songs in the comfort of her room.
Fate wants to reconnect them but for two very different reasons this time. One party, one incident, one glance, and an explosive mix of emotions. Nothing will be the same.

It's the English translation of story originally written in Polish "Pokochaj mnie". You can find this version here: @alexaandra_claire.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. 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. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Jessica's stomach fluttered, her gaze dropping to his lips then back up again. "I always hated my hair colour growing up." She observed, why did people bully you for being ginger? It was such a weird thing to bully someone for. He shook his head, as though he couldn't believe what she said. "Why?" "Kids are cruel." "Kids are idiots. Your hair is.... inspiring." "Inspiring?" She questioned. "Poets should write about your hair." His finger curled around the strand he was toying with, and the world seemed to melt away. "It catches the light sometimes, like a flame. It's so..." Their eyes meet. And Jess takes in the way his breathing deepens, the way he licks his lips. She steps even closer, basically pressing herself into his arms. "It's so...?" She asks, begging for him to continue. "Beautiful." He breathes. *** Falling in love with your bestfriends girl is never easy. You want her. Crave her.

Nicky Peters sets out on an emotional roller coaster when she creates a melody from an old high school journal entry which develops into her debut song for her second album. Her personal and professional life become quickly complicated when she finds herself standing in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again, the same person who unfortunately understands all too well who Nicky's hit song is really about...him. ******** Nicky Peters' rise to fame in country music was fast, being plucked out of obscurity at seventeen after her YouTube videos went viral. After she pens a very personal song from one of her old high school journals called, "Honestly," for her much-anticipated second album, she realizes her feelings will be under a microscope for the whole world to see, including Nate Stanton, her ex-best friend from childhood. He also just happens to be the one person who truly understands the meaning behind her heart-wrenching song. What happens when fate brings her face-to-face with the boy she thought she'd never see again? Nicky quickly realizes airing her emotions out in public via a number-one, hit song can make things complicated fast. As Nate and Nicky reconnect and navigate through their past, truths are revealed, assumptions are at an all-time high, and a publicity nightmare looms which jeopardizes all she's worked so hard for. While Nicky's misfortunes add up, she realizes fame comes with a price. She begins to understand the cold, hard facts, keeping her career intact as country's "it" girl and maintaining a personal life may be more difficult than it sounds, especially when you're living through a public scandal.

COMPLETED 5.14.18 SEQUEL TO MY BROTHERS BEST FRIEND Book 2/4 of the Adam's series - "I promise, I will ask you soon enough." He kisses my lips gently before smiling again and letting go. "What?" I ask, confused at why he had stopped kissing me. His grin becomes larger, "Sorry, I'm just imagining what our kids would look like and holy shit, those are some cute kids." "Well, the faster we get married, the faster we can have a baby. I'm down to have a kid or kids with you Garrett." "I should have recorded that for blackmail," he chuckles before kissing my neck gently making my body tingled at his touch. His phone starts to buzz in his pants, "Damnit!" He pulls it out and clicks the answer button. "Yes?...Okay?...Now?...Okay...I'll be there soon." He ends the call before collapsing on top of me. "Why does everyone have to be such a fucking cock block?" - Jessica Walker is a senior at Columbia University in New York City. She has just come back from a two-year long study abroad in Europe studying Journalism. Garrett Adams is also a senior at Columbia University. He is a country-wide known football legend, hoping to be drafted next spring. Since the two have been apart for some time, will things be different for the two of them?
