Christa Iglesias is known at Mt. Vernon High - not for being popular, but for being the quiet, brainy girl who seems to have it all together. What no one knows is that behind the books and good grades, Christa is living a double life as a rising teenage model, balancing school, secrets, and the pressure of keeping her two worlds apart. Only her close friends and family know the truth - and they've promised to keep it that way.
For years, Christa has nursed a secret crush on the school's most popular guy, Matthew Kristian - the golden boy every girl wants and every guy wants to be. But he barely notices her, thanks to his Queen Bee girlfriend Amanda, who seems to have it out for Christa for reasons no one can explain.
Meanwhile, Christa's friendship with Blake Carter - the charming, slightly rebellious football player - starts to shift. Blake is dating Maria, one of Christa's friends, but the tension between him and Christa simmers beneath the surface. As Christa's feelings get tangled between fantasy and reality, the lines blur between friendship, loyalty, and love.
At home, things aren't any easier. Christa's father walked out on their family three years ago, and the pain still lingers - especially for her and her older brother Josh, who refuse to speak to him. Their younger sister, Ella, still talks to him, but even she senses the tension growing.
As secrets unravel and relationships are tested, Christa must navigate high school, heartbreak, betrayal, and her own growing sense of who she is - and who she wants to be. When your heart is pulled in more than one direction, how do you know what's real?

Melody's Crush
Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.Compleet
Deeper
In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was.

The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
