Once a pre-med student with dreams of becoming a doctor, she's recently dropped out of college, realizing the path she thought was meant for her never truly felt right. Outgoing and full of energy but secretly battling uncertainty, Kenzie is stuck in a rut-working part-time as a retail clothing manager and feeling completely lost when it comes to her future. Outgoing, partying, hanging out late at night with friends, and beach trips frequently.
When her childhood best friend Jake, now a famous YouTuber, invites her to move in with him his group of influencer friends and girlfriend, at their luxurious beachside LA mansion, Kenzie takes the leap-because why not? What's the worst that could happen?
Thrown into a world of cameras, clout, and curated chaos, Kenzie struggles to find her place among the charismatic, internet-famous crew. But as she slowly begins to open up, she forms a surprising bond with one of the housemates-one that grows deeper than friendship. The only problem? He's Jake's closest friend.
Now Kenzie must navigate her feelings, her identity, and her place in a world she never imagined being part of. Is she just a guest star in someone else's story, or is this the beginning of a new chapter she never saw coming?

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
