A Happier Version of Me
2020
Two guys. One girl. A big confusing mess. I never thought I’d have two guys fighting over me. I mean, I’m totally not that girl. At least, I didn’t think I was…
Turns out, it’s a lot more confusing than I would have thought. I ended up deciding I couldn’t be with either one of them.
At least for now. I need space to clear my head. Because my heart doesn’t know who it wants. I’m confused, and I don’t want to hurt either of these guys I care so much about.
It’s not like I can avoid them either.

Olivia and the Troublemaker
2019
The other day, I overheard the hottest guy at school making a bet that he could convince me to kiss him.
If I have anything to do with it, it’s never going to happen.
They called me an ice queen. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
Here’s the thing. He has a reputation, and I’m not interested in his games.
But then I found out he lives up the hill from me.
And now he knows where I live.
And he’s more determined to win the bet than I first realized.
I have to admit, the more I get to know him, the less like a troublemaker he seems.
Maybe I misjudged him.
Or maybe I’m getting in too deep.
Olivia and the Troublemaker is a companion story to The Destiny Clark Saga. In this Young Adult Sweet Romance, you can expect flirting, blushing, and kisses in the woods, but you won’t find any swearing, nudity, or sex.
