When a laid back and rudely gorgeous city girl comes for her farmer's market crown, Sabina's dream of joining the family honey business is threatened - and her heart may just get stung too. *** Now that she's graduated high school, Sabina is ready to join her family's honey business, but her parents are convinced that there's no future for her in her small town. They're set on sending her to university, which she knows will be less fun than getting swarmed by angry bees. To prove that her place is on the honey farm, Sabina plans to impress her parents by winning the Best Vendor prize at the summer farmer's market. Her quest for the sweet prize gets sticky when a pretty city girl steals her table at the market and doesn't even feel bad about it.

To save her family's business, a small-town baker returns to a television competition that made her a national laughingstock, where her partner is the professional baseball player who broke her heart. After another disaster hits my poor bakery, I reluctantly return to the competition that made me a laughingstock on national television two years ago. The stress-charged challenges are the same nightmares I haven't missed but with a celebrity twist. My partner is not just a star pro baseball player...He's the boy who broke my heart. The boy who left me behind grew into the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not 'Brody's girl' anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the ovens. Interest in us boosts the show's ratings, prompting the producers to request we fake falling for each other. We agree under the condition of securing our place in the final round, but Brody's eyes are on a different prize-me. When my flooded hotel room leaves us rooming together, pretending that all of my first-love feelings aren't returning crumbles under our sizzling chemistry. Just when our rekindled relationship seems too good to be true, Brody reveals how much he's behind our reconnection, and the realities of our different lives again threaten to tear us apart. 18+ for mature language and explicit content.

Book 1 | Completed | Niko Molchalin has always been a reserved man. As the owner of Inked-a tattoo shop-the need to speak hasn't really been an essential requirement of his job, and he liked it that way. His customers came in for one reason only, and that was to get some wicked designs etched onto their skin, not to socialize and share each other's past emotional experiences. So when his chatter-box neighbor from the cupcake store across the street came in to drop off her last batch of sweets upon foreclosure, he surprised himself by offering her the receptionist position that was available in his shop. Ryssa Morgan was everything Niko wasn't. Her face was perpetually lit up with a friendly smile, and her eyes held a gleam of animation and optimism that was foreign to Niko. Just when he started to feel comfortable with her, someone from his past showed up, threatening to collect on a debt. After Niko gets injured defending her, they find somewhere safe for the night to lay low. As the hours passed, Ryssa insisted that Niko explain everything to her about his past and why people were after them.2 As Valentine's Day approaches, will Niko be able to protect her? Will these two be able to overlook their differences and finally give in to their desires?

Can Caleb melt this Ice queens heart and find peace for himself? ----------- "And what about me? Was it just a crush you had on me?" he says in a raspy hushed voice that makes me take a big gulp. I lean forward so I'm now closer also to Caleb and look him straight in the eyes. If we're going to be honest... then let's do this. "Your Caleb Maverick, everyone had a crush on you. The fact you were so oblivious to all the attention you got just added to your boyish charm. The girls at our school wanted one night with Ethan but they all wanted to settle down and marry you." I say honestly and Caleb actually looks surprised. He sits back in his chair looking genuinely puzzled, "That's not...that's not how I remember high school." He mutters before his eyes fix back onto me. "I remember being second best to Ethan for everything. Sports, grades, girls, Mia...you." he grits. ---------------------- The Sequel to 'More than just Neighbours'. I'd recommend reading that book first for these characters backstory x

"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her. Carter Grayson is a 16 year old guy recently transferred to Olivia's high school. Tall, handsome guy with lean figure, hazel eyes, brown hair and smile to die for. He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.
