Is it possible to fall for someone who won't even look at you?Hi! I'm Willow Jackson, and I've just flown 3,400 miles to the great big city of New York for an exchange trip. Sounds cool, right? You'd think I'd be living my American Dream: cute family, cool school, pizza on every corner... except the boy I'm staying with? Yeah. He's avoiding me like I'm contagious.Luke Carter: mysterious, annoyingly attractive, and apparently allergic to eye contact. (Like, seriously. Blink twice if you can hear me, dude.)But here's the thing. Fate, or the universe, or maybe just bad luck keeps shoving us together. Missed bus? We're stuck together. Group project? Guess who my partner is. Lost in the city? Surprise! It's him again.And suddenly the guy who won't even say hi is the only person I can't stop thinking about. I just wanted one month of new experiences... not a month of trying not to fall for the boy who pretends I don't exist.Oh, and did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing? Because I have no idea what I'm doing. Can a girl who's world's away from home find where she truly belongs? And what if... that place is right next to the person who never planned to let her in?Send guidance. And maybe a map.Love,Willow.Copyright © 2025 by Alina Bryne…

Featured on New Beginnings in Romance Picks Anthology at Romance-What do you do when your heart pulls you in two different directions?Hi, my name is Olivia Meyer, and I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who has a little confession: falling for Freddie Hutchinson, the school's infamous 'bad boy,' was never part of the plan.I've always been perfectly fine with my low-key life. Books over parties? Check. Silence over drama? Double-check. Honestly, I'm just trying to survive high school with my best friend, Tom McKenzie, by my side since he's the only person who's ever really seen me.But then I got paired with Freddie for a class project. Freddie Hutchinson, with his leather jacket, sharp smirk, and reputation darker than my coffee order. We've never spoken a word to each other before now, but suddenly, I'm seeing sides of him no one else seems to notice. Like the kind-hearted boy hiding beneath the tough exterior.And now my carefully crafted world is starting to crack. Alicia James, the queen bee of high school politics, isn't happy about the Status Quo changing and Tom... well, let's just say he's acting weird. Like, jealous kind of weird.The worst part? I think I might actually like Freddie. Like, love him. You read it right: love him. But if I choose him, I could lose everything else I care about.So, what do I do? Follow my heart, or stick to the plan? Either way, I have a feeling my senior year is about to get way more complicated than ever.Wish me luck.XO OliviaCopyright © 2024 by Alina Bryne…
