Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart.

Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions.

Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again.

Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller.

What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over.

A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.All Rights Reserved

Somebody Like You by LethalDreamer01

Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

The Plus One Effect by Shritzy

Tessa Blake likes things simple: clean layouts, crisp deadlines, and a boyfriend who's been her best friend since college. What she doesn't like? Camden Price-her boyfriend Noah's childhood best friend and living proof that loud, obnoxious energy drinks can take human form. So when Cam crashes their quiet weekend plans with a smug grin and a new girlfriend, Tessa prepares for another evening of pretending to tolerate him. She definitely doesn't expect Harper Rhodes. Harper is calm, self-assured, and infuriatingly observant. An independent photographer with a quiet voice and a sharper lens, she notices things most people miss-including the cracks in Tessa's carefully arranged life. What begins as forced double dates turns into long conversations, unexpected laughter, and a slow unraveling of everything Tessa thought she wanted. As her long-term relationship starts to feel less certain and Harper becomes harder to ignore, Tessa is forced to ask herself: What if the person she can't stand leads her to the person she can't live without? Sometimes your "plus one" is the one.

Having missed a year of school due to family circumstances, she returns for her senior year at 18, just days before her 19th birthday. She's a quiet girl, lost in the shadows of a strict and emotionally abusive home with her father, who harbors a dark and sinister rage. Ava has no friends and is regularly tormented by her peers. But everything begins to change when a new teacher, Valentina Sullivan, arrives at the school. Valentina Sullivan, a strict and no-nonsense educator, quickly establishes her presence in the classroom. Known for her confidence, she is the opposite of Ava in nearly every way.

As Valentina becomes more involved in Ava's life, offering her support and encouragement, the walls between teacher and student begin to crumble. But the road ahead is complicated. Ava's father's violent behavior escalates, and the weight of her hidden trauma pulls her deeper into a spiral. Valentina's presence offers Ava an unexpected source of strength, and soon, their relationship shifts in ways neither of them can ignore. The lines between what is acceptable and forbidden blur, and what started as a quiet support soon grows into something far more intimate and dangerous. Through trials of love, loss, and redemption, Ava and Valentina must face their own demons, their desires, and the truth of their connection. What starts as a forbidden relationship builds into a passionate bond that defies all the rules, forcing them both to confront their darkest fears-and their deepest desires.

It's Not What It Looks Like by rivalstolovers

In which the popular boy attempts to use an exchange student to make his ex girlfriend jealous, but his ex ends up (fake) dating the exchange student instead. - After nearly three years of breaking and making up with her ex-boyfriend, all that Silena Valentine wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, she gets Mena Skelin- a handful of a temporary roommate, whose otherwise extensive vocabulary doesn't seem to include either of those words. Soon enough, Silena finds herself volunteering to do things she never would have even imagined: like kissing someone in front of the entire school, and catching very real feelings for her very fake girlfriend. And the latter kind of sucks, since she's pretty certain that Mena is only doing this in order to get revenge at the boy she actually likes. But then again, everything isn't always what it looks like.

Facade Of Perfectionism by Shrya1712

'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712
