Iyana-Kelli Reece-plus-size, sharp-tongued, and never the girl anyone looked at twice-is used to being overlooked. Until Jacob Reed-Santiago, walks back into her life with a mouth full of slang, gold chains, and secrets buried deep under his smirk.
He's the white boy who grew up in the hood. Raised by his dad's best friend after his drug-lord father got locked up, Jacob's got a record of fights, straight A's, and a soft spot for exactly one girl: Yana. Or as he calls her, Yali-the nickname only he's allowed to use, stitched together from the pieces of her real name and his heart.
Their friendship? Complicated. Their banter? Fire.
But the tension bubbling beneath the surface? Unbearable.
When old ghosts return-his from prison, hers from the mirror-they'll have to decide: is love enough to quiet the chaos in their blood? Or will the world around them burn what they've barely begun to build?

Your Cheating Heart

"I tried you know, it's been eleven fucking months we're dating and I still can't expct anything from you to pleasure me." Is this what our relationship was all about? I thought to myself. Still didn't have the guts to say anything. "The hell how can I want you Leila? You're own mother didn't even want you." As soon as those words came out of his mouth, I felt like something died inside of me that day. 'My own mother didn't even wanted me.' I heard some people gasp not believing that was actually happening. I held my head high and with as much grace as I could muster I walked out of the gym that was so beautifully decorated for the homecoming. ___________________________________ Erza Abe Alder heartthrob of Lake Pearl High school.

Bitter Heart √
Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . . "Tʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ ɪꜱ," ʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴀꜱ ʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀɴᴇᴅ ᴄʟᴏꜱᴇʀ, "Iғ ɪ ᴋɪꜱꜱ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ɪ'ᴅ ʙᴇ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴛᴏᴘ." #2 in Chick-lit #1 in Humor #7 in Romance #1 in Teen Fiction #3 in The Grace Awards 2019 Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2018 Cover credits: @youtumblrgeek ✨Complete

In a world of silence and sirens, passion and pain, their love burns like a match in a hurricane. But secrets unravel. Loyalty is tested. And fate is never gentle. Now, Leo's behind bars. Jaiyana's carrying a truth too heavy for one heart. And all that remains between them are memories... beautiful, broken, and scarred like the streets they came from.
