The Girl Next Door
Alex McCartney, 18, had always been a good kid-at least, that's how people saw him. With his well-mannered smile and steady presence, he was the pride of his single mother, Emily. His athletic frame, the kind that turned heads at school, and his easy charm made him the type of young man everyone wanted their daughter to date.
But beneath the surface, Alex wasn't the golden boy they thought he was. He was more than just the "good kid." He had his own secrets, his own battles, and a side to him that no one, except maybe the girl next door, could ever truly understand.
She was everything they said she was-naughty, heartless, disobedient. The type of girl who would break all the rules just to see the world burn. But to Alex? She was more than that. She was the fire that made him feel alive, the one who pulled him out of the shadows of his perfect world and into something raw and real.
They say opposites attract, but when it came to him and her, the line between good and bad blurred completely.
And this? This was just the beginning.

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete
