Dancing is her absolute passion and she is well-known for being a kind and caring person. Who wouldn’t love to be around her? Unfortunately for Addy, the answer to that question is her next-door neighbor/long-time crush/high school bad boy Asher King, who won’t even look in her direction. That is, until she decides to smash her chapped lips to Asher’s luscious ones one fateful night. And he doesn’t know it was her. Now he wants her to help him catch the girl who stole his first kiss—in exchange for keeping one of her biggest secrets to himself. But how can Addy help him catch the culprit when she’s the guilty party?

Seren

Seren

by J. Nathan

Seren Grayson is a tempest. Heartless and destructive to anyone who crosses his path. But because of his good looks and talent on the football field, the students at Windham Prep adore him. They respect his boldness. They fear his wrath. And, they believe they know the real Seren.

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.

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.
