Hazel Bennet has never had a boyfriend, and it seems that she won't find one anytime soon. She's spent all three years of her adult life running her family's bookstore, honing her passion for writing romance, and hiding from almost all adult-y things, which definitely includes dating. In fact, every time she forms a connection with a guy, she has The Big Conversation where she shares that she's autistic and then watches as the man promptly disappears from her life.
It isn't until an uncomfortable encounter with her favourite--and unbelievably handsome--regular, Tobias Finch, that Hazel finds inspiration for her writing endeavours: Toby wants to take her out on a few dates to show her what a real relationship feels like on the condition that one of those dates has to be to his older brother's wedding. And since it's all just fake-dating anyway, Hazel has no need to worry about Toby losing feelings for her once he finds out about her disability, right?
Little does she know that this fake relationship will lead to very real feelings that are so much more than just research for a novel.

With The Bad Boy ✔
"I wouldn't mind watching you. Maybe we could tan together this summer." He suggested. "Without having tan lines." I could feel the smirk playing on his lips. I lightly slapped his chest. "Don't ruin my mood with your cockiness." "I think I made it a lot better." "Well, keep going and you'll have to deal with your boner yourself." I teased. "Why does it always come back to my boner?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips. "Because it's just so huge." I said absentmindedly. "Is it now?" He raised a brow at me. I stripped myself away from him and pouted as I folded my arms across my chest. "That's not what I was supposed to say." "Hmm," He nodded. "What were you supposed to say then?" "That it's just as annoying as you." I laughed. SUMMARY: After the death of her father, Blake moves in with her estranged mother and twin sister.

It All Started With a Diary
I anticipated every breath, and every word. Each day, you could only take an uneducated guess at what he would say. What he would do. My heart tremor as he leaned in. "I was wrong, sweetheart. I was so wrong," he whispered, the words tickling my ears. "Because with you, there are no doubts. Only love, so, so much love. And, I will spend every single day, every minute, and every fucking second proving that I deserve it." *** Kimberly Wrighton, the new girl who is desperate to make it through her senior year with as little issue as possible. The girl with a diary containing her insecurities, her secrets, and her true self. Kade Ryder, the typical popular guy who feeds off of fights, anger, and violence. The guy that gets whatever he wants, no matter who or what he has to destroy in order to get it. The bad boy that girls swoon over. The guy with a heart so cold, he would laugh in the face of someone's insecurities. This time, though, Kade had gone too far. What if the most rudest, arrogant, popular, and most beautiful man in your school took your diary? What if he read every thought, every bare emotion, and every word of it? What if, in the venture to get it back, you begin to see the real man behind the cold, hard exterior, the real you, and the real truth?Complete
