You Can't Crush on Your Sworn Enemy

2018

He was my enemy, but my heart had other ideas. I live by three rules. One: I never get lower than an A in any class. Two: I never lose a cross\-country race. And Three: I never talk to Cade Kelley Well, number three came crashing down the moment Principal Connell asks me to guide Cade back onto the right path. Something about helping him turn his life around. If only Principal Connell knew our history, he’d understand just what he’s asking. But, I have an incessant need to please all adults, so of course I say yes. When Cade seems pleased as well, I can’t help but wonder if this is part of some scheme. A plan he’s worked up to finish me once and for all. Apparently, what he did in junior high wasn’t enough. Just when I think I have everything figured out, my life spirals out of control. Suddenly, adults suck—especially parents—and pleasing them becomes the last thing I want to do.

You Can't Kiss Your Best Friend

2018

It was supposed to be a simple kiss. That was all. Whoops. My plan was perfect: convince my best friend and school quarterback, Ethan, to be the final prize for my matchmaking test where the proceeds go to sending the band to Paris. Plus, if it matches me with my life\-long crush, that's a bonus, right? What could go wrong? Apparently, a lot. First, the test matches me and Ethan. Which is easy to explain. Computers make mistakes all the time, right? Second, the girl I switch myself for seems perfect for Ethan. Maybe a bit too perfect. Third, my date with my crush goes horribly wrong and my first kiss tanks. Now, I'm pretty sure I'm destined to be alone while Ethan rides off into the sunset with his perfect match. Man, I've screwed up bad—especially when I ask Ethan the secrets to a good kiss. Big mistake. Feelings start to change and I'm pretty sure that our friendship isn't going to be enough anymore. Too bad I seem to be the only one in our duo who seems to feel this way.

You Can't Elevate the Outcast

2021

Her gaze drifted down my face, and reality came crashing back down on me. She was staring at my scar. The physical proof of my past. I turned to the side and raised my hand to cover my face. I needed to protect myself before I broke down the wall that I’d spent so long building up. “Get out,” I whispered. “Colten—” “I said leave,” I growled. She hesitated for a moment before she turned and raced toward the door. As soon as the door handle engaged, I pushed my hand through my hair, hating myself for acting like that. I hated that I’d treated her that way. But I knew it was the right thing. She needed to leave me alone before I hurt her. Pushing her from my mind, I headed into my bathroom. Once the room was full of steam, I slipped into the shower and let the water beat down on my back, on the scars that littered my body. It was a painful reminder of my past. Of who I was now. And of who I could never be. One thing was for sure, I could never be what Haley wanted. I thought I knew what I was getting into when I took the dare to elevate Colten Shaw. I thought wrong. I'm determined to make my senior year epic. I'd finally risen up in social rank and now, I'm ready to rule the school. Everything seems perfect until I find myself standing in front of Colten. My boyfriend's older brother and my once friend. After he caused the car crash that killed their mother, he retreated. He became the social outcast in our community. But he's back now and drumming up a lot of attention. Attention from the school's evil queen. And thus started the dare. It was my job to "tame the beast." To bring Colten to the homecoming dance as a "functioning member of society." And as much as I want to say no, everyone wants me to say yes. So I do. That's when I discover there is so much more to Colten. It's to the point where I can't ignore it. I thought I had everything figured out but now? Now I’m not sure. And that’s a scary place to be.

2019

He wasn't supposed to be nice. This changes everything. Charlotte Robinson has one goal: survive her senior year. Well, if she's truthful, it's actually to survive her new life without her mom. Which would be a lot easier to do if her dad was actually dealing with the death. Instead, he’s buried himself in so many abandoned vehicles that their yard has turned into a suburban junkyard and it's just a matter of time before the city intervenes. When Lucas Addington, the obnoxious rich kid who's been banished to the small town of Sweet Water, douses her in his carmel macchiato, she's pretty sure she's reached her lowest low. But that's only the beginning. He's conceited and spoiled—everything she expected from a billionaire's heir—until things begin to change. Suddenly, she finds herself drawn to him for reasons she can't explain. He makes her feel safe and wanted, something she'd forgotten how to feel. Just when she allows herself to open up to him, her life comes crashing down around her. Now Charlotte must decide if she can fix her crumbling life and keep Lucas, or fail and lose everything she holds dear...again. 1 town. 1 high school. 12 sweet romances. Read Misunderstanding the Billionaire's Heir from Anne-Marie Meyer. It is the first installment of the Sweet Water High Multi-Author Series. Each book is a stand-alone but follows the school year chronologically.

You Can't Misinterpret a Mistletoe Kiss

2018

A mistletoe kiss is just a simple kiss, right? Wrong. All I want to do during this Christmas break is survive. A week at the cabin with our family’s friends/rivals, the Stephensons, every yuletide activity is turned into a competition where my family must win. Every. One. Yep. Lots of Christmas spirit around here. But, I've survived past holidays, there's no reason why I can't survive this one. Until Mom informs me that Jacob Stephenson, my brother's ex\-best friend and resident bad boy, is back from his grandmothers after having been gone for the semester. I guess, after you find out your son robbed a gas station, you banish him to the most southern state. Now my ridiculous crush is back in full force and I’m trying really hard to stay away from him. My brother is frustrated that Jacob is home and I'm supposed to put my family above boys. Right? Maybe… I was attempting to be loyal until Jacob and I kiss. Sure, it was a forced one brought on by mistletoe tradition, but there was something in the way he held me and pressed his lips to mine that told me, he just might be feeling something more. But when he keeps pulling away and acting like the bad boy I'm pretty sure is fake, I begin to realize that there's more at stake here then just my heart. A truth that is eating away at him. I just hope I can unearth it before Christmas is over and any chance that I have at discovering the real Jacob disappears.
