Lila Hart is nineteen, shy, and quietly brilliant. A first-year uni student with her head buried in books and her heart safely tucked away. She's not used to attention, and she likes it that way. Her world is quiet, predictable, and entirely her own-until she's asked to tutor the loudest, most late-to-everything boy on campus.
Jack Carter is twenty, the university's star striker and captain, and the kind of guy who gets noticed the second he walks into a room-whether he means to or not. Charming, popular, and always just a little behind, Jack's life looks effortless. But under the surface, there's pressure he doesn't talk about, a father who expects perfection, and a grade point average that's about to cost him everything
She's the quiet girl he barely noticed.
He's the boy she never thought she'd talk to.
But when tutoring sessions turn into something more, neither of them is prepared for the way their worlds begin to change- slowly, unexpectedly, and all at once.

Outcasts
Two girls. At school they're total opposites. The cheer captain and the loaner geek. But at home, life isn't all as it's seems. And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together. *** "You missed me?" I ask as if it's such a shock because to me it is. I'm a nobody. "Hm." She hums with a nod, "I didn't really know how to ask you if you wanted to hang out again, and well, thanks to my fucked up life, here we are, I found an excuse." "You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either. "I know, but honestly, you kind of intimidate me and I just kinda thought maybe just a small part of you thought it was just about the projects."Complete
Rain and Roses
Leon Blackwell was a Senior in high school, the guy that everyone knew, but couldn't tell you a thing about him, the kid that was second at everything. The one who clearly wore a mask but wouldn't let anyone in to see it. Kiera Yvette was a delinquent with an unknown history. Pretty as a sunset and sharp as a knife it was only another person with a mask, though smoking, and driving a motorcycle seemed the perfect cover to her, and a way to get the attention she wanted. He didn't want to be seen, she didn't want anyone to know her. She's the rebel who skips class, and he's the quiet kid who couldn't care less. But when her grades slip he becomes her tutor, and things both didn't want to be known came to the light, a place neither wanted to end up. But with a lit match there's only so long before it starts to burn, and with them burning was all they ever knew. (Shy boy & bad girl type romance. Swearing, some cringe, and my favourite unused trope)Complete

Head Over Heels
Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training.

Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends. The girls make it their mission to break Lila from her shyness and make Romeo feel like home. Oh, and they also recruit her to join their cheer team which isn't something Lila ever thought she'd feel confident enough to do. Then there's Tyler Johnson. He's the senior football captain, star quarterback and most popular guy in school who happens to also be Payton's older brother. Lila doesn't want to catch feelings for her new besties brother, but quickly realizes you can't really control who you crush on. It's not like Tyler would ever go for her anyways, when he's got so many other girls begging for his attention....or would he? If you're looking for a coming of age love story with strong female friendships, comic relief, overly protective brothers, self discovery, silly small town traditions and a slow burn....then look no further! #1 in "Cheerleader" August 2022 #1 in "Journal" November 2022 #1 in "First Kiss" May 2022 #1 in "Small Towns" May 2022 #8 in " Teen Fiction" June 2022 #2 in "Football" August 2022 #2 in "chick lit" August 2022 #1 in "Teen Romance" September 2022Complete

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
