All her life, Lila Emerson has been the quiet girl who keeps to herself - no drama, no risks, no heartbreak. But when she's paired with Caleb Morgan, the charming, popular boy who seems to have the whole school's attention, her carefully built walls start to crack.
What begins as awkward study sessions soon turns into inside jokes, stolen glances, and an undeniable connection that the entire school can see. Everyone's shipping them... and maybe, deep down, Ava is too.
But high school isn't just about sweet moments and hallway smiles. Rumors spread fast, friendships get tested, and secrets have a way of coming out when you least expect them. And when a misunderstanding threatens to pull them apart, Ava has to decide - is she willing to step out of the shadows and fight for the boy who might just be her first love?

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓
"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

Practice Makes (Graduates of Love #1)
In high school, Lila was the awkward, introverted girl who dared to ask the school's golden boy, Jay, for help with dating. What started as innocent practice "dates" led to somewhat of a friendship-at least for Lila, who accidentally developed a crush. But Jay, oblivious to her feelings, saw their bond as purely platonic. On prom night, when Lila catches Jay kissing someone else, she resolves to bury her crush and focus on herself. After graduation, their lives take different paths, and they lose touch. Now in their early twenties, Jay has returned to the city as a confident young professional, while Lila is in her final year of college, juggling school and her career. When their worlds collide again, the simple friendship they once had feels distant, replaced by tension, nostalgia, and a spark neither of them can ignore.Complete

Eastwood Academy: Cruel Love
When our lips meet, fire spreads out through my body. It's not a gentle kiss. It's a desperate one, compounded by months of longing and pain. My hands tangle in his hair as his roam my body. Everywhere he touches me, I feel an electric tingle. Wanting to be closer to him, I slip my hand under his shirt to trace his sculpted chest and the planes of his stomach.
