Grace Barlow has loved taking pictures since she got her first camera as a kid. She knew from a young age there was nothing else she wanted to do with her life.
It was a hit or miss career, she knew that. She couldn't do it fulltime, forcing her to work as a barista on the side. And as time passed, she began to believe maybe it was farfetched, to believe she could live off of taking photos alone; she was beginning to believe it would only be a hobby.
Until she got the call.
The man on the phone sounded very formal, his tone official as he asked her if she'd be interested in photographing for a musician's tour. He couldn't share the name until she signed on, but Grace didn't care. She'd be photographing concerts every night and making enough money that she could save it up and never have to work at Starbucks again.
This was it; this was her big break. To Grace, nothing could bring her down... well, until she gets the email confirming the artist she'll be touring around the country with for the next 3 months.
Joshua Bassett.
She hadn't heard that name in a long time, and yet, her heart ached reading it. She hadn't seen him since he left oceanside and moved to LA to pursue his career, leaving her behind with nothing but a promise that nothing was going to change. But everything is different now. A lot has changed since the day he drove away.
Grace wants nothing more than to stay clear from Joshua and get her job done; but things only grow more complicated when Joshua's management try to force a fake relationship on him, with some up-and-coming popstar that will help his image. He's willing to do anything to get out of it.
Even if that means lying about already having a girlfriend... and of course, the first name that comes to mind is none other than the girl he hasn't stopped thinking about for years.

When EJ gets a voicemail from his father days after the show, asking him to visit the Caswell Success School, he has mixed feelings. On the one hand, he wants nothing to do with that place, or his neglectful father. On the other, he feels there's some unfinished business there--and he's always been one to do what his father asks of him. This is Gina's first ever romantic road trip. To be honest, her entire life has been a road trip, so she's not that excited to be getting back in the car again. But when it comes to her boyfriend, EJ, she knows he's made something fun out of a potentially messy situation. Even if something goes a little off-script, it's not like it'll change everything...right? Ricky doesn't want to go to Chicago, but he doesn't want to stand around at a gas station on the edge of town, either. He doesn't want to meet his mom's new new boyfriend, he doesn't want to stay home alone for days while his dad's on a work trip...some fresh air would probably do him good, even if that means going on the road with the two people in the entire world he currently has the most unwarranted romantic tension with. //a post s3 AU in which EJ, Gina, and Ricky go on a road trip and fall in love with each other-because the show should acknowledge polyamory existsComplete
Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
