The Nerd & the Quarterback

2019

An older cover & title edition of this ASIN can be found here. I had a plan to survive my senior year. Too bad Jackson High’s star quarterback BLEW. IT. UP. Last year, I was the most hated girl at my old school. This year, my plan was to lay low, keep to myself and graduate. My plan was working. Until the day I ran into Dax DeLeon. It’s impossible to stay invisible when the most popular guy at school claims I’m his girlfriend. Did I mention his ex—the head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school—wants him back? Boom. Now I’ve got a fake boyfriend. And a target on my back. Again. But what’s scaring me the most… If this thing with Dax is fake—why does being with him feel so real? The Nerd & the Quarterback is a \Standalone\clean YA romantic comedy about a nerdy bowler, a hot quarterback, a possible case of mistaken identity, a bunny-napping, ransom notes, a failed ransom drop, thievery, and mean girls being mean. But mostly about a boy and a girl learning to trust. \Warning: this book has a romance so sweet you'll get an urge to call your dentist.\ Grab your copy today!

The Good Girl & the Bad Boy

2020

What happens when Jackson High’s Good Girl and Bad Boy are forced to work together? I’ll tell you: I destroy his guitar. (Accidentally!) He uses my guilt to trick me into doing his work. For three weeks! Until I find out he lied. Oh, heck no. This bad boy has crossed the wrong girl. I call him out on it. In front of the whole school. Check mate, bad boy. “It feels good to be bad,” he whispers. “I refuse to be the Bonnie to your Clyde,” I lie. Stuff happens & we end up in the… Principal’s office. And I’m breathing into a paper bag, freaking out about the trouble I’m in. But that’s not the worst part. The worst part is… I’m afraid I’m falling for the bad boy . Warning: this book contains a few mild curse words, a couple of \earth shattering\ kisses, guitar abuse (if you are against the abuse of musical instruments, maybe skip the end of chapter 3), twin angst, and a super sweet romance between a good girl and a bad boy.

M.L. Collins has done stuff. Good stuff. Bad stuff. Fun stuff. Boring stuff. She believes in true love, laughing loud and often, being kind, and assuming the best in people until they show her otherwise. She loves classic rock, old Motown, and ’90s country music. Just try to stop her from dancing. Although, please don’t, because she loves dancing. (But, for the love of Pete, do stop her from singing; only people who love her dearly should have to suffer through that.) She hates naps, dill pickles, and scary movies. Loves windy days, dogs, and LOTR. She’s an unashamed lover of sprinkles on cupcakes. M.L. loves reading and writing quirky sweet romance novels that makes you snicker, swoon, and sigh.
