Tatum Ruth is a 15 year old freshman in high school. She has had a crazy past and it's only getting crazier. She's been trying to figure herself out, but has been having some trouble along the way. She has a secret that most people don't know about, only her mom knows what it is. Her mom tries to ignore it, but what happens when Tatum's secret gets out? It's not something that's normal...and people don't react very well.
Aspen Jones is an 18 year old senior. She goes to the same school as Tatum, even though they don't know each other. Aspen is never home, due to a drunken mother and no father. She hates being at home, because her mother is abusive when she's drunk. She too has a secret... and no one knows. She cannot trust a soul. When she hears about Tatum, a little freshman, rumored to have this secret she tries to connect with her, even if it means her secret getting out.
They share a bond they neither of them have felt with anyone before. The more time they talk and spend together, the stronger the connection grows. Now, Tatum feels as if she is catching feelings to Aspen; Aspen has feelings for Tatum but keeps them to herself. She doesn't want to ruin their friendship with her feelings and neither does Tatum, because they don't think the other person would feel the same.

Sweet Spot
Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*Complete
