Jenny I always liked him. But when our parents got married, things got confused. As if being a teenager isn't confusing enough. All I knew was that the feelings I had for him weren't okay. I’ll never forget the anxiety I felt the night I ran into him at a party that had gotten out of control. I saw him standing around with the popular kids as soon as I walked in the door. And he saw me, too. He always saw me. It was talking to me that he avoided. I watched his buddy spin an empty wine bottle on the butcher block while my friend Brandi rummaged in her oversized purse for the two bottles of hard lemonade her older sister gave us. When the spinning bottle stopped, I realized everyone was staring at me. “Looks like you’ve gotta kiss Jen,” some jock said to Ethan. I felt the color drain from my face, taking the moisture in my mouth with it as a suffocating panic grew in my chest. I was going to be found out. Ethan laughed it off. “Yeah, that’s not happening. She’s my sister.” “Not really, though,” his buddy insisted. The eruption of laughter and jeering sounds made the dim kitchen feel like a jungle full of predators, and I was sure my cheeks were going to burst into flames. “Don’t be stupid,” Ethan said, tilting a can of beer over his mouth. When his friend spun the bottle again, Ethan glanced back at me one more time and wiped the back of his hand across his lips. I’ve been wondering what it would be like to kiss him ever since. **Author's note: This is a full-length, standalone novel with no cliffhanger and no cheating. It is intended for a mature audience and has an ending that will leave you smiling so hard it hurts. less

We used to call ourselves The Three Musketeers. I know it's cliché, but we were only kids. They usually took turns being in charge, which was fine with me. I was just happy to go along with them. After all, I thought I was the luckiest little girl in the whole world. Most of my classmates only had one best friend, but I had two: my best friend Izzy and her twin brother. Back then, I hoped things would never change, but that's the problem with more... moreWe used to call ourselves The Three Musketeers. I know it's cliché, but we were only kids.

They say you'll never forget your first love, and that's definitely true in my case. I think that’s because he was my first everything. My first crush, my first kiss, my first… home run. I don’t know what it was about Adam, but from the moment I met him, being around him wasn’t just a cerebral stimulant. It was a full body experience. Unfortunately, the only predictable thing about our relationship was that we never seemed to have enough time together. On the one hand, that was a blessing... moreThey say you'll never forget your first love, and that's definitely true in my case. I think that’s because he was my first everything. My first crush, my first kiss, my first… home run. I don’t know what it was about Adam, but from the moment I met him, being around him wasn’t just a cerebral stimulant. It was a full body experience. Unfortunately, the only predictable thing about our relationship was that we never seemed to have enough time together. On the one hand, that was a blessing. It meant I never had to deal with the pain of watching the spark between us fizzle as we grew up and grew apart. Then again, maybe it wouldn’t have. Maybe it would’ve ignited further and turned into something… more. Not that it mattered. The past was the past, and I needed to put my teenage daydreams behind me. Still, part of me refused to give up hope. But like a candle, hope can only burn for so long, and mine had nearly flickered out. After all, so many years had passed since I’d seen my perfect summer crush that he'd become nothing but a string of scattered, faded flashbacks that seemed too good to be true and too old to keep on such a dusty pedestal. Of course, as soon as I was ready to forgive and forget, he walked back into my life out of the blue- sexier, bolder, and more unattainable than ever. And as if invigorated by a gust of warm ocean breeze, my candle burned bright again. **This is a full-length, standalone romance novel with no cliffhanger and no cheating.

Unfortunately, so has the rest of her family, which has made it impossible for her to break out of the friend zone. Until now. Margot He wasn’t just the best man at my brother’s wedding. He was the best man, period. I knew it deep in my bones the first day I met him. Well, maybe not the first day. I was only six, after all, and he was just a boy. But even then, his presence made me feel both firmly grounded and like I was walking on air. It was a curious feeling to have, especially as a kid. As I got older, my cravings for his company intensified, and I began aching not only for his attention, but for his touch. Too bad I could never tell if he felt the same. There was only one thing I knew for sure, which was that his loyalty to my brother knew no bounds. And for good reason. But I didn’t care about that. Not like I cared about him. Because I loved Landon Bishop at first sight…long before he became my brother’s best friend. less
