Lance is an undisclosed musician. Sloan has never showed anyone one of her paintings. They both have big dreams and talents that can take them far. But taking the road that will get you where you are supposed to go is not always easy, especially when so much of your past is dragging you down. 

In order to have their dreams come true, Lance and Sloan will need to learn to trust each other, but most importantly, trust themselves, something easier said than done when they both have so many reasons to stay just the same.

A story about family, friendship and letting go in order to move forward with a cute set of sisters, a powerful teen romance, and a quirky boy-band included.

You're given 0.7 seconds to decide what to do when the most popular boy waltzes up to you and starts throwing pick up lines at you. What would you choose? a) Slap him b) Throw a sarcastic remark at him c) Walk away If you were like those daring sarcastic female leads in most novels then you'd likely choose either a) or b), but shy senior high schooler Iris Martin chose c) walk away. Then her life somewhat resembled baking a cake. Add in a pinch of arrogance from the bad boy, a teaspoon of cheer from his girlfriend and an overfilled cup of persistence from a new student who was her cousin's fiancé's brother's best friend and the cake will be ready to explode in the oven. ~~~ Cover by @-wanderes {edited} {completed}

At school, she maintains a flawless image as the stone-cold teacher's pet, while at home, she endures her mother's relentless disdain. Balancing these contrasting personas, Avery believes her ticket to freedom is securing a place at Princeton. Kyran Drake, the polar opposite of Avery, is the school's popular star football player, known for his charisma and intelligence. Despite his seemingly perfect life, Kyran harbors his own hidden struggles, concealing them better than most-including Avery.
