Ava Simmons is a senior in high school with a dream of becoming a successful journalist who is suddenly given an opportunity to write a school news report on star student, the all around perfect guy, James Lowell.
James Lowell, the boy who has it all, the boy who everyone adores and envies because of his good looks, academic perfection and athletic talents. The task should be easy enough, and it probably would have been, if James wasn't actually a self centred and pretentious prick who'd both purposely and unintentionally make her life a living hell. But James also has his reasons, or so it appears. There's a looming secret that haunts him, one that can destroy his dreams, and everything that he's worked for. Now Ava must face the ultimate decision, would she follow her journalist instincts and write the truth while potentially letting his future crumble, or let go of the story for the sake of the boy she's suddenly grown to care for.

Obsession Syndrome: A Love That Can't Die
Alexandra Smith isn't special. She's a nursing student, quiet and unremarkable-just another face in the crowd. But behind her gentle smile lies a secret she's buried for years. She's in love with her best friend. And she's willing to do anything to keep him. Lucas Windsor has been the center of her world since the day they met. Charming. Magnetic. Untouchable. He teases her, protects her, confides in her. To him, she's just a friend. But to Alexandra, he's everything-her reason, her anchor, her obsession. When Lucas announces he's going to marry his longtime girlfriend, Ava, something inside Alexandra snaps. The perfect world she's imagined begins to twist into something dangerous. She tells herself it isn't madness-it's destiny. Four months until the engagement. Four months to make him hers. As the clock ticks down, Alexandra's affection takes a darker turn. Lies blur with truth. Reality bends under the weight of her desire. And soon, people begin to notice that something about her isn't quite right. But Alexandra isn't the only one with secrets. Someone else is watching-someone who knows exactly what she's done... and what she's planning next. In a story where love turns to obsession and obsession turns to something far deadlier, Alexandra will discover that the line between devotion and destruction is razor-thin- and once you cross it, there's no way back.
Not Your Typical Bad Boy
Hayden Hillson didn't care about grades, school, teachers, or detention. His time was better spent smoking pot, skating, and celebrating with his friends- for no good reason. Just because there's no better way to spend a Friday night, in his eyes. His family says he wasn't always this way- younger Hayden would be embarrassed of his turnout at age 18. They figure maybe attending college- the only college Hayden could get into that is, could make Hayden find himself again within his own education. Carter Sandler was the opposite of Hayden in every which way. As a child, Carter was constantly chasing her wealthy parents approval- got good grades, did well in sports, and was socially popular. She was the, "it" girl in every way- but it was never enough, and Carter had had enough seeking others approval despite her successes. Carter saw college as her first opportunity to experience life through her own lens- not her parents. But the first week of college turns out to be the nightmare between both, as they find themselves at the biggest party of the beginning of the semester. After a messy argument, the two couldn't stand the sight of each other. Who knows- they could be more similar than they thought? A cheesy, steamy, stupid-in-love story of a bad boy in love with a good girl. The type of story that is similar to a romcom chic flick- so bad, but so good it keeps you coming back.

She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.Complete
