Before you guess on what you think the lesson of this book is... guess again. 

​

Devan Ross and Rachel Winters are anything but average teenagers. Having met in the late 1980's while attending the same junior high school in Jacksonville, Florida, they became close friends and successful entrepreneurs by building one of the largest marijuana distribution networks spreading throughout Jacksonville's many high schools. 

​

After various early life-altering encounters with the "darker" side of life, they lose their innocence and find themselves not only existing in this darker world but thriving in it as well.  

 

Upon graduating high school, Devan and Rachel embark on different paths of self-discovery. After 8 years of struggling and trying to make it in the "real world" they return to doing what they do best, growing and selling marijuana.  But this time on a much grander scale.  

 

Follow them over a twenty-year period as they rise to the top of the local marijuana underworld while toppling many of Jacksonville's corrupt social elite along the way. 

​

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance
Highschool Sweethearts by K-good
16 parts Complete Mature
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

31 parts Complete Mature

She has what he needs ... in every sense of the word. Evan Ross is desperate. If he fails to acquire a few specific properties for his boss, he'll lose everything he owns. Standing between him and his salvation? One rebellious, stubborn, and sexy-as-hell farmer who flatly refuses his generous payout offer. Evan will have to get creative-in and out of the bedroom-to convince her to sell. It shouldn't be too difficult ... unless he does something stupid like fall in love with her, that is. Dani Zimmer has no interest in romance. She's too busy running her family farm to even consider dating. But when a smooth-talking Yankee rides into her small town, determined to charm her out of her land (and her panties), she can't deny being tempted. After all, what could a bit of enemies-with-benefits action hurt? But it doesn't take long for Dani to realize just how thin the line between love and hate can be when you start sleeping with the enemy. And falling for the man? Disastrous. When all is said and done, can Evan and Dani close the deal-or will their chance at happily ever after wither and die on the vine?
