Gabrielle (Gabby) DeVault is a good girl...well, was a good girl is a more accurate description. The constant validation she sought from her parents caused her to eventually break. Pushed to the point of not caring about anything, or anyone, Gabby changed her life completely. She was no longer the good, perfect girl everyone wanted her to be. Instead, she started hanging out with the wrong crowd and getting into trouble. And the truth about it? She loved it.. But when Gabby's parents have finally had enough and ship her off to Maxwell Prep- a boarding school for the troubled- what will happen to her?
Zayden Walker isn't much different. He is a bad boy, though, unlike Gabby, he pretty much always has been. Tired of living up to his parent's insane standards of what a perfect son should be, Zayden began acting out much more than usual and trying to take back control of his life. Unfortunately for Zayden though, getting around with girls, drinking, drugs, not caring, and the wrong type of friends don't provide him with the freedom he hoped, but instead, earned him a one way trip to a certain boarding school for the year.
What will happen when Gabby and Zayden inevitably meet during their time at Maxwell? Though they might seem extremely similar, they also couldn't be more different. They do say opposites attract right? But, is that really true? Can two troubled teens struggling with tough battles of their own really handle being together? Especially since they seem to have hated each other from the very second they met. Who knows what senior year will be like at Maxwell. New friends, new surroundings, new problems, and most importantly, new feelings. But, the heart wants what the heart wants right...?

It Started With A Run
Cameron Black is the school's nice guy. He has the perfect life. The perfect girlfriend, the perfect family. Nothing bad has ever really happened to him. Annabel Carter is quite the opposite. Nothing in her life is going her way. She's in a gang for a multitude of reasons and the only family she has is her twin brother. They don't even go to the same school. They're different on so many levels, it's ridiculous. So what happens when Cameron goes on a run after having the first real problem of his life and stumbles into the warehouse that Anna and her friends use as their headquarters? And what happens when they recruit Cameron to expose the people at his school for the awful people they are? • • Excerpt • • "So... basically you're telling me to figure out my friends' secrets and then stab them in the back by telling you guys so you can quote-unquote 'take them down'?" I said in a clipped tone. I don't really like being rude to anyone, especially not to the leader of a gang, seeing as I want to keep my life. This though was kind of absurd. "I mean... if you want to live of course," Tyson said trying to scare me. And let me tell you, it definitely worked. I still didn't understand why he even cared. I mean don't gangs only care about drugs and money? *POV's Alternate*Complete

Billionaire Next Door✔
I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered.

[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
