Book One of the Love You Series - Standalone. Sometimes the heart wants what logic swears is off-limits. Kyle Carter. By definition? My brother's best friend. To everyone else? Confident. Charismatic. The human version of sunshine. He walks into a room and people gravitate toward him-like he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But behind the easy smiles and effortless charm is someone quieter, softer... someone who wants to be seen. Really seen. By one person alone. When you're part of the same friend group, running into each other is inevitable. Daily, even. Bickering became our version of talking, teasing became our shared language. But it's dangerous-the kind of dangerous where you start noticing just how beautiful someone is, and wondering how it's even fair to exist next to them. And feelings? They show up like a tidal wave I can't stop, no matter how many times I tell myself not to fall. Because Kyle Carter is off-limits. And I should know better. Ivy Kingston. Definition? My best friend's sister. The one girl who knows exactly how to push my buttons-and enjoys doing it. She's bold, reckless, and says things that get under my skin and stay there.

[ENGLISH] Love & other DRUGS
They say that in life, we all have three great loves. The first arrives in adolescence-innocent, filled with dreams and illusions. The second teaches you pain, and you cling to it even knowing it was never meant to be. It's the kind of love you once wished would last forever, but instead, it helped you grow. The third love is the one you never saw coming. You let it happen without expectations-just you, allowing yourself to be surprised. It's the love that heals old wounds and makes you genuinely happy. It's the love that teaches you how to love for real. It's the true one. This story is dedicated to all those still carrying wounds from that second love. Don't be afraid to move forward. Don't shut your heart, even if it's in a thousand pieces. Something better is coming.Complete

Too late, Skye begins to realize that Damien is an emotionally unavailable, drug-addicted alcoholic. Can her love transform him?Complete
Bad Boys
{COMPLETED} Kyle was just Kyle. No last name, no family, no past. It was simple that way. Or at least it was easier than being Daniel, who cared too much to be anything but a coward. Kyle got decent cash from his side job, flunked classes on purpose, and had unlimited access to all the booze and drugs he could ask for. Was he a horrible person? Yes. Did he deserve to get busted? Definitely. Did he hate himself for it? Absolutely. But none of that mattered. Girls made for decent enough distractions as long as he drank himself to oblivion beforehand. And that was his plan. Go to the party, get shitfaced, get laid. Simple, just like Kyle. But he never anticipated a certain blue-eyed ghost to sit next to him and talk (flirting he could handle, talking was a different story, uncharted territory). And when the cops showed, he didn't think twice about hauling his ass up and booking it. The blue-eyed ghost was the idiot who stayed in the grass and let the cops slap cuffs on her. So it wasn't really his fault, but then again it was. And maybe that's why he said yes to her crazy, illegal proposal. Or maybe he just missed living. #1 in brokenpast #1 in fosterkid #14 in badboys #18 in bucketlist "It's something very different.

Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
