He was following me. again. God help this boy.
I was annoyed more than I thought I could take, so I stopped and slowly turned around to face him.
"Can I ask what it is about me that you find so unbelievably fascinating?" I finally snapped at him. He took a wide-eyed step back.
"Whoa, Mace, I'm sorry I thought-"
"Yes, Derek. tell me just what exactly it is that you thought," I gritted out sarcastically. "That I liked you? well, newsflash, Dare, If you were Goddamn listening to a word I've been saying for the past... what? year?" I took a breath after the rhetorical question, daring him with my eyes to answer it. "And if you would pay attention to the dead giveaways and hints I've been dropping you, you would realise I don't like you! Never did, never will."

Macy MacLenon isn't special. She isn't a nobody either, just neutral, and she prefers to keep things that way. She also prefers to stay single; all that heartbreak and drama and searching for the right guy wasn't her thing, like love and feelings weren't her thing. She tried countless times in the past with guys but it never worked out how she hoped. So it really doesn't help that her best friends older brother is beyond obsessed with her.
Frustrated and fed up with Derek's persistent and child-ish lovesick ways, will Macy give it a shot just to shut him up, or will she crush his heart for good?
This is not your typical, repetitive, cliché, predictable teen romance novel. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, an unexpected chain of events unfolds leaving you reeling and begging for more (No sexual innuendo intended, Haha). Enjoy ;) <3
..Bailey Thorne doesn't hate Jake the Rake, just despises him. She blames the rumor mill at her school...and, okay, him. His adorable son has only been in preschool, but Jake has already made an impressive dent in dating the unmarried faculty. She's had to hear of his every exploit from the broken hearts he's left behind. She was fine to loathe him from afar, but now his son has entered kindergarten-and she's the teacher. It's going to be a very long school year.
Jake Polaski was more than fine to avoid Ms. Thorne after it became clear she was not amused by his very existence. But then they get stuck in an elevator for an evening. He finds out that underneath that baleful glare she always gives him, lies a warm, funny and sexy as hell woman. He does his best to not be smitten after every exchange afterward. His son needs him rational, steadfast...and love is the most uncertain thing.
It was the elevator's fault. Had it worked like it should, Bailey would have gone on with her life without seeing why so many of her co-workers had fallen for the grumpy single dad. (It's his dry wit, his playful teasing and the drool-worthy cut of his jawline.) And now she's caught in the way he doles out smiles and the dark depths of his secrets. If nothing else, she knows from rumor there's a clock ticking on their affair before it implodes, because things always do with Jake the Rake, but she can't seem to walk away first.
