21-year-old Dominique Ford had always wondered who lived in the apartment above hers with a music taste like no other. Three years of college and living alone had made sure she'd settled into the whirlwind of classes, friends and part-time jobs, but all that changed when a package was delivered to the wrong floor. An awkward encounter suddenly led to so much more and Dominique finds a change in the notes she'd assumed to be her whole life. All from a fateful meeting with a stranger who seemed to know exactly how to play the strings to her heart.

Paper Planes & Lemon Tea
Juno never meant to fall in love with anyone-not this year, not in a town she didn't want to move to, and definitely not with someone who wore pastel sweaters and played records from the '70s during lunch. But there was something about Avery's laugh, something about how she always noticed the small things-like when Juno was sketching alone, or when they flinched at sudden loud noises. At first, it's just small moments: Avery offering Juno a warm mug of lemon tea when they forget lunch. Sitting next to each other in the art room during study hall. Sharing earbuds under the stars on the night of the school's fall fair. Juno doesn't know how to name what they feel. They're not sure they're ready to say anything out loud. But Avery is patient, soft, and warm in all the right ways. She never pushes. She just walks beside Juno, learning their silences, loving their art, and smiling like she already knows there's something worth waiting for. And maybe that's what this story is about. Not declarations or fireworks. Just glances that linger too long, mixtapes that say things they can't, and hearts that learn how to whisper "I see you" before they ever say "I love you."Complete
Band X
Carter Rose is a loner and she likes it that way. She is content to hide in her bedroom as she actively avoids her overly-cheerful classmates and well meaning but often domineering mother. At least, this is what she tells herself. One encounter with the talkative and hyper Isabelle changes everything and Carter suddenly finds herself thrust into the limelight as the lead singer of a band with an ever changing name and dubious future. Carter never wanted to have friends. And she certainly didn't want to sing outside the sanctuary of her bedroom. But, as they say, sometimes, even if you don't get what you want, you get what you need.Complete
Reckless Fearless Careless | ✓
"What are you doing here?" I ask but it comes out as a sob. I don't want him, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. I'm a wreck. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind though. He softly brushes the remaining tears from my face with his thumb. "I saw you run out of the canteen, green eyes. I couldn't just leave you here to cry because that would go against the tutor code." "Tutor code?" I ask, puzzled. "Yes, the tutor code. It states that a student must make sure his tutor is never upset or crying and if he does ever find her like this it's his job to make her smile at any cost," he tells me. "You just made that up." "Maybe I did but that doesn't matter. Come on," he says, extending his hand out to me. "Where are we going?" "You'll see." ~*~*~ Aurora is a normal seventeen year old, happy and content with life. However, this all changes the day her boyfriend of two years, James, breaks up with her. Naturally, she's crushed. The icing on the cake is why he did it. Apparently she's 'too boring'. Determined to prove him wrong, she strikes a deal with the school's notorious bad boy, Wyatt King. She'll tutor him in maths if he teaches her to be reckless, fearless and careless. Can Aurora overcome the odds and do what she planned? Or perhaps someone will stop her on her mission to win over James. Maybe this isn't as easy as she thought it would be. Maybe she takes things a little too far. And just maybe making a deal with the bad boy isn't such a smart idea. ~*~*~ *contains mature language* #9 in high school 20/02/19 #1 in young love 14/03/19 #2 in chicklit 27/03/19 #1 in heartbreak 08/04/19 #21 in teenfiction 26/08/20 #10 in romance 26/08/20 #1 in bad boy 02/04/21Complete

The one good thing to come from the humiliating event: she meets Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd.

She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual. Caught between wanting what she shouldn't, navigating shifting friendships, and keeping secrets that grow heavier by the day, Peyton soon realizes that some lines aren't so easy to draw, let alone keep.

Astrid pleaded, trying to convince Drake to tutor her in the brain-wrecking subject of physics. "Not my problem." He waved me off as he stood up, followed by me. "I'm making it your problem!" I blocked his way stubbornly. A sigh left his mouth. "Will you stop annoying me if I say yes?" "I'll try." I shrugged, getting a pointed look in return. "I promise! I'll be a good student." "Don't make me regret it." He muttered. "I won't. Thank you so much." Not helping his mood, my next action definitely complied with mine. I didn't think twice before jumping on him, making him stiffen under my touch. "Never mind. Regretting it already." ...Complete
