That was until she accidentally caught her dad making out with some strange blond woman. A blond woman who happened to be twenty three years old. That was only five years older than Jonah!
Thinking her dad had hit his midlife crisis, she decided to leave well enough alone. Big mistake. Because three months later, her dad announced they were moving halfway across the country into Blondie's home, and him and Blondie were getting married!
Follow Jonah on her whirlwind adventures in a new town, making new friends and even a couple of enemies along the way. Join her as she discovers the true meaning of love in observing others as well as experiencing it herself.

What I like about you
Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention.

Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?Complete

Surrender to Her
In Vivian's world, emotional detachment and worldliness are her defense mechanisms. Struggling through life, she depended on the help of Ethan and Noah's father-a wealthy man who had once rescued her. This man was Vivian's mother's ex-husband. Back then, Ethan and Noah were still young and didn't understand Vivian's situation. Instead, they resented her, thinking she stole their family's attention and affection. But everything changed overnight. The sudden death of their parents triggered a swift collapse of their fragile family: the business went bankrupt, internal power struggles were exposed, and no one was left to protect them. Vivian-who had always been an outsider-became their only guardian. At just 18, she was the only adult in the family, preventing them from being sent to an orphanage. Over the years, Vivian grew to see Ethan and Noah as her brothers, caring for them as her own. But as they grew older, their feelings for her began to shift into something more than family. The lines blurred. Vivian, influenced by her mother who is an actress never had a healthy view of love. Her relationships were always fleeting, and she never had a stable partner.

A breakdown in their emotional bond could not only destroy their relationship but possibly sever any family connection they still have.
