"Love is a game. It's a game filled with late nights crying in your bathtub, early mornings making pancakes and dancing, and trusting you can fall for someone because you think they'll catch you. At least, that's what I was told. I always thought that love would be different for me. That love would have changed. Now that I'm experiencing it, I can tell you for sure that love is a game. However, it's the rules that have changed," Nora sighed, smiling up at him.
Nora Jacobs wasn't like every other eighteen year old girl. Being a carefree senior was the last thing on her list of priorities. She was hellbent on getting to college and forgetting everything about her past. She might have been normal, if it weren't for her brother's recent death and her parent's loss of sanity. For now, Nora is just trying to get through her last year of high school and out of her house.
That is, until Finn Evans entered her life. Finn possessed three things: a cheeky personality, a persuasive argument, and a list of locations. All Nora had to do was agree to throw caution to the wind and travel the west coast with him and his friends. In return, he promised her a problem free summer without reminders of her past. Sounds easy enough, right?

Half of My Heart ✔️
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way.

When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.Complete
