Broken

Broken

by Evelyn Miller

When Lily finds her boyfriend cheating on her the summer before senior year, it's just another broken piece in her already disappointing life. Then she meets Mason, who seems equally as broken for a different reason, but together they make summer their own and set off to complete a bucket list of promises they vow not to break...and maybe some feelings develop along the way. But their summer fling ends in disaster when Lily and Mason realize they're from rival schools, competing in rival teams. Even worse, when a tragic accident puts their priorities into perspective, can Lily and Mason find a way to be together, and will their friends—and the ultra-competitive sports teams—allow them to have the happy ending they dream of...?

Unfortunate Friends 1: My Best Frenemy

Unfortunate Friends 1: My Best Frenemy

by Ruth Robinson

I hated AJ McGabe.

He was my school’s quarterback, and the other girls treated him like Adonis reborn.

Ngl, he was hot as fuck. But he despised me, and the feeling was so mutual.

The only bright spot for Senior year was that my best friend, Jake, was starting at my school.

And it turned out he already had a friend from football camp here. This guy, Andy.

Jake said the three of us would be spending a lot of time together this semester.

But on the first day of school, I got a nasty surprise when he brought me to meet this Andy guy.

Turns out it was AJ. Fucking. McGabe.

That’s right. My best friend was buddies with my sexy nemesis himself.

Fuck. It was going to be a long semester…

But they don’t.

When I’m forced to move into Seren’s home, I unexpectedly unleash his wrath and become his latest target. He may think I'm easy prey because I’m the housekeeper’s daughter, but he’s wrong. I’m not someone who will cower or back down when I'm pushed.

I’ll push back. Harder.

The longer I spend in Windham, the more I unravel the mysteries of Seren and Grayson Manor. Who knew it would take an outsider to soften his tough exterior and discover the truth behind the lies.
