Avari (Uh-VAR-ree) Shephard and Calix (KAY-licks) Lawson are two Apostolic Pentecostal young people living in Indiana. They meet at a state youth rally and everything changes from there.
Avari is 17, and is the daughter of Austin and Rachelle Shephard, the pastors of Firm Foundation church. She has an older sister, Jennifer, and a younger brother, Caleb. They are close in relationship, and are heavily involved in their church. They are excited to receive a new Assistant Pastor and his family into their church. Avari has never met the family, so she is interested to see what they'll be like.
Calix is 17 1/2, and his life has changed tremendously in the past few years. His mother, now Kary Smith, left his father for another man. His dad, George Lawson, has recently remarried. His new stepmom, Avery Lawson, is a good, Godly woman with a calling to ministry on her life. As a family unit they take on a new leadership role in a church they've never been to. His parents have met the pastor and his wife, but they haven't told him anything about them.
As these two teens get closer, crazy things happen. Falling in love is not easy, especially not at this age. As everything gets complicated, can they pull through, or will it be the end for them?

How we began (now published, so sample only)
When Kayla McCrae was forced into a dare by her friends, she had no idea what she was in store for. They dragged her into the kissing booth and that was when her calm life turned crazy. Isaac Thornton had thought it would be great fun to man the kissing booth. Of all the girls lined up that day, the only one that had him coming back for more was a surprise. She was a nerdy girl in a grey cardigan. She seemed frumpy and boring against the girls he normally dated. The difference was that he could have kissed her forever; the spark between them was that intense. She disappeared into the school world and he couldn't find her. He couldn't believe how hard he was chasing after this girl that nobody but his sister knew. He was normally the one that girls chased after, with his relationships lucky to last a week. Now this girl had him caught in her net but couldn't be found. He continued to search though. What would to do with her when he finally found her?Concluída
Jonesing ✓
"Wanted to be bold." I blush while I avoid eye contact. "Devin needed to borrow clothes for gym." I stare at my bare legs. "I should've told her no." He shrugs, biting into his sub. "Not a fan of exposing the body." I nibble on my burrito. "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea." I tuck my hair behind my ear. "That you're easy." My face reddens as I look at him in the corner of my eyes. After a few moments, I nod. He sighs. "The only thing that makes a girl easy is if she lets every and any guy inside." He runs his fingers through his hair. "Clothes or attitude has nothing to do with it." I trace a circle on my thigh. "And a guy that believes otherwise is either a dick or a rapist." I smile. "Avery." "Ava." "Your brain works in wonderful ways." I get more comfortable and lean on his shoulder. "So you've said." I giggle. "I'm glad to share the same name as you." ~ A girl, a perfectionist, named Avery Jones has been in love with her childhood friend's brother for as long as she can remember. He's never noticed her, though, he doesn't really notice anyone. He's sort of an insouciant philanderer. They couldn't be any different, the only thing that connects them is their names. Oh, by the way, his name is also Avery Jones; no relation. As crazy as it might sound, it's true. Anyway, it isn't until she becomes his mentor that he finally sees her. But will this new circumstance spark a connection or show just how different they are?Concluída
Love Like This

They shared secrets and mischief and they loved that they could depend on one another. Lucas has held a candle for Michaela for years.

When Lucas comes home again the Summer of her senior year of high school, things suddenly start to change between them. It makes their lives go from 0 to 100 in a heartbeat and neither of them expected it to happen. Excerpts from the story: * We've always been a good team. Hell, the best when we teamed up against others. If we can't keep an eye on him, no one can... * "So, what's the problem then?" I sit back in triumph, grinning. My hands are on my thighs but my eyes stay on my girl. "Come on," I start, stretching the two words tauntingly. Elijah groans. Michaela's eyes narrow as if telling me not to, but I was going to anyway, no matter how cute her scowl is. "Live a little."Concluída
The Abandoned Lovers
"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him.
