Rumor Has It

Eloise Bennett thought she left her past - and Hudson Carter - behind when she moved away. But coming back to her small hometown has a way of dredging up old feelings...and old rumors.
When the town whispers that she and Hudson are secretly dating, Eloise panics. She didn't move back to fall in love...she moved back to survive the gossip.
Hudson, on the other hand, knows exactly what he wants. He's been hiding his feelings for years, and if pretending to date Eloise keeps the rumors alive - and her close - then he's all in.
Fake dating was supposed to be simple. Rules, boundaries, public appearances...easy, right? Except the spark between them has been years in the making, and now every glance, every touch, and every whispered word is loaded with the kind of tension that refuses to be fake.
In a town where everyone knows your business, can Eloise and Hudson survive the gossip, the longing, and the truth about what they've really wanted all along?

Delicate Scars
The world continued to spin on its axis, countless sunsets giving way to glowing stars, but for Scarlett Reed, ever since her mother was torn out of her life like a page from a book, the days that followed blinked out of existence. Instead of comforting nights filled with home-cooked pies and joyous dancing, she spends them restrained in her comforter, submerged in darkness, her eyes swollen from the endless stream of tears. Until she is shipped to Seabrook Island, a secluded beachside town she has no interest in making her home and thrust into the whirlpool of Tyler Evans - the boy fate knew she needed. For a single summer, filled with stolen glances in the sea and captured breaths sprawled out on the sand, Scarlett and Tyler gravitate towards each other. For the first time since her world fell apart, she had found a home in someone other than her mother. But she didn't consider that her home could have secrets of his own locked behind closed doors, ones that she'd pry open in the shadows. Ones that would permanently expose the mold growing beneath the wallpaper. While her scars were slowly healing, his were burrowing deeper. When their delicate scars are revealed, will they come together to heal, or will the shrapnel tear them apart?Complete

Oh, and he's crushing on the girl in apartment 2F. Tyler and Maggie's first meeting was on top of the list of things that went better than expected. Their next meeting doesn't even make that list.

Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything.

"This thing between us." He said, gesturing to the space between our bodies. "It's bound to happen. You know it. I know it."

He finished. ****** Kalley Jackson is set on leaving her life behind.

So This Is Love
(Sequel to Our Fake Relationship) Love was never meant to be simple. It was messy, unpredictable, and, at times, utterly heartbreaking. But despite the pain, despite the uncertainty, it was always worth it. Every argument, every moment of doubt, every tear shed-it all became insignificant in the presence of the one person who felt like home. Jared and Ashely had been through it all. What started as a *fake* relationship had unraveled into something real, something raw. After endless denial, unspoken feelings, and battles against their own emotions, they finally admitted the truth-they were in love. And for a while, it seemed like they had found their happy ending. But love never stayed still. It didn't settle just because they wanted it to. Then, *he* arrived. Unexpected. Uninvited. And suddenly, everything that once felt certain became clouded with doubt. He brought a shift, a pull she didn't understand-an unfamiliar feeling that both thrilled and terrified her. It was something she had never experienced before, something she never thought she *could* feel. And with that, the questions began. *What is this? What does it mean?* And worst of all-*had she truly been sure of her heart all along?* So, this was love. A chaotic, gut-wrenching, soul-shaking journey that forced her to face the most impossible choice of all. Yeah. That sounded about right. (Sequel to Our Fake Relationship)
