Keys and Kisses
Summary
When the year started, I had one goal - make my AP classes count and keep my grades up. Both my focus and my grades started wobbling. Dating my best friends came with perks like hugs, kisses, and invitations to dances, but it also came with cons in the form of vindictive posts, hate mail, and vandalism of my car. I asked if it could get any worse, and I guess I got my answer. My college essays suck. My mother and I are racing toward a collision. My secret admirer might turn out to be a real friend. My dance partner wants to walk away to preserve our friendship. My best friend demanded I keep no more secrets. My first offered to move in with me. My second…he’s got my back. They all do. But what brought us together seems to be tearing us apart, and I can’t jeopardize those friendships. I won’t. I thought losing them was the worst thing, but losing even one…it might be the change we can’t survive. The real key here isn’t what do I want…it’s am I willing to fight for it? P.S. I still need to get a damn dress. Please note: This is a reverse harem, and the author suggests you always listen to the foreword in her books. Contains some bullying elements, mature situations, and is recommended for ages 17 and older. This is the third in a series and the story will continue through future books.

Rules and Roses
Summary
When it comes down to acclaim in the yearbook, my class rank would probably earn me my only entry, but probably very little else. I don’t wear cosmetics, do my hair, or really give a damn about my appearance in general. I don’t need to be cool, and I’ve managed my high school career navigating all the different groups from the nerds to the jocks to the theatre kids and the band geeks. Kicking off senior year, my only focus is to make every AP class count and keep my grades up. Shouldn’t be hard, particularly with my so-called untouchable status. Oh yeah, imagine that — I had a reputation. Hadn’t been a blip on my radar until the end of junior year when one of the girls’ dropped that little nugget on me. Apparently, the guys at school considered me the best girl to hang out with for fun or homework, but nothing else. While I’m not looking for a date, it’s a little hard to swallow that I ranked as the best bud and tutor, but would definitely never fall into the Girl Most Likely To Get Asked Out. Pfft. What did I care? One more year and I was off to college, so what if the numbers of female friends I used to have drifted off and I’d scored a permanent seat in the friend zone. I had subjects to study, grades to maintain, and colleges to get into. Fine, I didn’t care about the rules or status before, and I wouldn’t now. 181 class days to go, and I’ll graduate. No problem, right? Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always listen to the forward in her books. Contains some bullying elements, mature situations, and is recommended for 17+. This is the first in a series and the story will continue through future books.

Magic Flame
Summary
We lit the match. Now we can't stop the mating flame. The world hasn't seen the likes of me. My power can unmake the gods and the worlds - but only after I mate with the demigod of sea and activate the living flame inside me. Mate all day and all night long. Peachy right? If only we weren't trapped in the void where no gods, demons, or mortals are safe. The monsters here? They eat immortals like us as if we're candy. It's hard to have sexy times when we're fending off titans, cannibals, nasty Ares, and that loose cannon Lucifer. Plus, if we don't return home before the apocalypse, Earth will turn to dust. Our only option is to let the heat of the mating fever blaze, war zone or not, and make it burn everything in its wake. Contains mature themes.
