Faking Plays
Sometimes the only way to guard your heart is to fake the play. Alexa Cavanaugh- the new girl who's just trying to fly under the radar. She's moved more times in her short life of 18 years than anyone can count. She wants to feel like she belongs. Hopefully, this is the last place her father's business takes them. She has one goal for senior year: stay invisible. But fate has other plans-starting with Jonah Manhattan, the brooding star receiver with a complicated past... and a very familiar face. A few summers back, Alexa and Jonah shared a few steamy kisses at a summer camp before they snapped back into their realities. Now that he's back into her life, he has one big request: pretend to be his girlfriend to convince his obsessive ex that he has moved on and to keep the school's attention off his crumbling home life. No strings. No Drama. One rule. Don't fall in love. Jonah is known to be distant, especially since losing his sister and dealing with a father who only knows how to bruise. A bad boy reputation and sharp tongue can only go so far when it comes to keeping eyes from wandering why he suffers more bruises than the football tackles he receives. Alexa isn't the same girl she was, and Jonah is opening up more. Walls begin to crack. As fake sparks turn dangerously real, they realize maybe this is their second chance. Will Jonah choose to protect his heart or finally let someone in? ***** Warnings: physical abuse and mental health

Seven years ago, Tristan Knight walked away from the love of his life, Serenity Harris, without a word or a backwards glance. No goodbye. No Dear John letter. No words of apologies or excuses. She'd woken up one morning to an empty bed, her body sore; her hair wild and unkempt from their tempestuous love-making the night before. That night had been the first time Tristan told her he loved her. Their courtship had started fast. It took four hours for him to get her into bed and take her virginity and one night for her to fall head over heels in love with him. The year leading up to their final night together had been full of twists and turns, ups and downs. But she'd thought they had finally gotten to a place where they full understood and valued one another. So what happened? Why did he leave? And why had he come back today of all days? Her wedding day. To his former best friend and band mate, Nyle Wentworth. Nyle has been there for Serenity ever since Tristan left her heart in irrepairable pieces. Nyle loved her back to life and in spite of her love for Tristan, she found herself drawn to him. Now they're about to get married.

He and Tristan were friends but that's all in the past. And that's where he intends to keep it. All Serenity wants to do is to marry Nyle, be happy, and go on with her life but the reappearance of the love of her life is making that more than difficult. Tristan is back, he wants what's his, and he doesn't care who he has to destroy or kill to have it. Now that Tristan's back, Serenity finds herself torn between what her heart wants and who her head knows is the better choice. **For mature audiences only (18+)Complete
