I always thought money was a blessing... until it turned out to be a curse.
Selena had it all: a penthouse that screamed luxury, a Lamborghini that made heads turn, and friends who lived for designer drama. But behind the glittering life were toxic friends, a selfish boyfriend, and a family who cared more about appearances than love.
When the crypto market crashes, Selena loses everything-except her car and the illusion that she's still untouchable. Suddenly, the glamorous life she adored becomes a hilarious, chaotic struggle to survive, all while carrying a shocking secret: a baby on the way.
Then she meets Marlon, a kind mechanic who's everything her friends warned her against. Can Selena leave the world of wealth and gossip behind to find true love, humility, and happiness? Or will her obsession with riches ruin her chance at the life she never knew she wanted?

The Sweet Side of The Bad Boy.
Selena didn't know love, she knew nothing of it. She was almost like a balloon being held against a very sharp, dangerous object. You can see where she's caving in, yet she doesn't explode until you've driven it straight through. She relates completely, because of the pressure, the relationship.. because of everything. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it, or he would've done something to her. Now, Selena knows love. But, from someone she never expected. Zero Cooper. He hated the attention that you couldn't help paying him. He looked like your typical bad boy. Lethal. Misunderstood. Sinfully good looking. But, he was unlike anyone you've ever encountered. Our Selena was absolutely terrified of him, just as anyone with good sense was. So, imagine her surprise when no matter what they do to avoid it, their paths keep crossing, their opposites kept attracting. There was only one explanation for it, really.Complete

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
In Another Life
Fresh out of rehab and still fighting demons, Jasmine doesn't expect to be seen or heard and she's hoping it stays that way because she's falling quickly and she can't afford to have anyone break her landing. But what she doesn't realise is that Sebastian Moore has been in love with the beautiful girl whose smile never quite reached her eyes for two years and if there's one thing he won't do - it's quit on her. This is a love story, I'll tell you that much. But if love were enough to hold a relationship together then some people would never break apart and that's something Jasmine and Sebastian are about to learn. The funny thing about fate is that you can deny it, push it and fight it as much as you want but at the end of the day all you can really do is pray and hope that in another life, you get everything you deserve. WARNING - This book contains scenes depicting: Sexual abuse, drug abuse, depression, anxiety, physical abuse and probably some more things that I'm forgetting as I write this so read with caution.Complete
