Sophie Brennan is an eighteen year old, recent high school graduate who has no idea what she wants to do with her life. Maybe that's thanks to all the years she spent shutting herself in at home, watching as many movies as possible and living vicariously through the characters rather than worrying about her own life. Or maybe it was skipping school during that one career building day. Either way, she's stuck. Sure her part time job as a photographer for an online magazine fuels her passion, but that's never going to be enough to pay the bills. So, instead of spending money she doesn't have to go straight to college, she spends what little money she does have on a beater of a van in hopes to travel the continental US and gain an idea for her future career. However, all of that stops mattering the moment she accidentally snaps a picture of a drug moving operation, causing her once peaceful trip to turn into a run for her life. Like literally, she might die. There's guns and gangs and gross bodily fluids, oh my! Will Sophie be able to survive this action/adventure? Will she be able to turn it into a fantasy with a happily ever after? Is there any chance this is all just a romcom in disguise? No matter what the ending might become, there's no denying that this trip is totally NOT vantastic.…

Connor Meyers, Vice President and COO of Meyers Motors, has always been focused on his job and doing it well. As he is currently working on planning the biggest business meeting of his life, one that will merge his company with one in Japan and earn him the title of CEO, he has no desire for distractions. He only has a few months before his meeting and nothing will make him happier than single-handedly managing this and finally getting his father to retire. Greyson Lewis, on the other hand, is a young college student who enjoys her care-free life in Miami, Florida. Her talkative nature surprisingly managed to land her a job in Meyers Motors, and not just any nine to five. She is told she will gain the title of COO, as partner to the current one. She has no idea what the title means, but her need for a summer gig means she won't pass this up. To say Connor is unhappy about this development is an understatement. If his father believes he will partner up with some random college student, he has truly gone insane. Greyson, on the other hand, has no intention of quitting just because her partner is an absolute ass. With their obvious clash, is a merger even possible?______Book Cover Photo by: Caique Silva on Unsplash…

I wiped my eyes once again to see deep piercing green ones looking down at me. More tears came as I saw the root of my anger, and I stood up pushing past him. I tried to run but got pulled back by a hand grabbing my wrist. "What happened?" Clyde demanded angrily. "Get off of me!" I growled and pried his fingers off my wrist and continued to the bathroom. Once inside I went into a stall and grabbed some toilet paper to wipe my face. Why was I always crying?I heard the door open and I tried to contain my sniffling so that they wouldn't hear. Then I looked down to see the feet and saw Clyde crawling under my stall. ~~~~~Alexa Moore is a crybaby. She can't deal well with her emotions; if she is frustrated, angry, sad, mad, or hurt she can't help but cry. She hates that she always feels the need to cry and tries to stay happy by being unconfrontational, and staying away from jerks.Clyde Wood is seemingly heartless. Through the bad, sad, hurtful, and pissing situations he appears to be tougher than nails. Sure he is happy most times, but in the eyes of many he is a heartless jerk that picks on everyone. If it wasn't for his great looks he'd probably be with the Gothic kids, not the popular ones. That, and he made a hobby of being a player.Alexa meeting Clyde was definitely a recipe for disaster, causing her to shed more tears than in her entire 17 years. The year goes from good to bad to good to bad, and end bad? With so much heart churning events, will there really be a rainbow after the storm?…
