Bad-boy turned bush pilot Conner Morgan was content with his life until Andie Turner reentered it. He could easily fall for her, if only her Christmas shop wasn't in his building, the one he's about to sell to developers.
Andie hasn't seen Conner since he broke her heart in high school. She'd never get involved with him now, but only he can save her little shop on the shores of Lake Superior. As they work together to renovate the historic building in hopes of attracting a different buyer, Andie wonders; is the bad-boy actually good for her now?

"OK, this is going to sound weird." Conner Spoke. "I've been fighting back the urge to kiss you since the minute you walked in." He finished. I can feel the butterflies down in my stomach fluttering up to my heart. Am I sure I heard that right? Did he really just say he wants to kiss me? I looked up into his mesmerizing blue eyes and the same plump pink lips he had the day I met him. We moved in slowly, still holding each others gaze. Hopefully if this goes totally wrong I have a back up plan. ___________________________________________________________________________ Teresa Glaser is on the roller coaster of her life.

#79 in Chicklit {highest ranking} [Completed] WARNING -This is my first books so read at your own risk plus please don't judge my writing with just this book. I have gotten better so if you'd like than check out my other stories :) Sophia is the girl every guy wants. Well, she's not like most girls. She is the bad chick of the school. People try to get to her, especially the boys because all the girls are too scared. The whole school all has a little tension towards her. She has never had to deal with anyone standing in her way or even having their locker next to hers until he showed up. Hunter is the bad boy. He is known for his Rabelais ways and cocky attitude in his old school. So it'd no shocker that when be moved to her school he gets in her way and his locker is right next to hers. They get eachother to fall in love with eachother only to break their hurts. Or so they thought...They both have awful past and reasons for acting they wat they do especially in public. They bond over things they never really talk about and become closer than they thought. With their sweet moments and even their bickering in the highschool life, it's hard when he has to leave for collage when he still loves the bad Chick.Complete![Saving Anne [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/92335281-256-k80319.jpg)

"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are."

Stupid Logan. He had to come into her life, become her best friend, have her fall for him, then decide to date her other best friend before dating the school slut and losing his virginity to her in eighth grade.

What happens when the love of your life doesn't exactly love you back or when a new guy comes skedaddaling into the picture? No one really knows. And no one in the world really cares.
