They say roses are the most beautiful...
Gin Fielding is counting the days until she escapes the small-town life of Roper, Missouri for college at NYU. She prefers to blend in, though she's far from invisible. But when she protects a younger student from a bully, the spotlight turns on her in ways she never imagined.
I say that every rose has its thorn...
The Friday night lights shine bright on Chase Matthews. Roper's golden boy, Chase can do no wrong, enjoying the small-town celebrity being the star quarterback brings. When Gin defends his little sister against a bully, he decides to lend her his star power and change her senior year in ways she never imagined.
But maybe the thorns are part of their beauty.
When Gin declines Chase's invitation to be part of the elite Sweet Sixteen, the repercussions turn both their lives upside down. But amidst the chaos, Gin and Chase find solace in one another. Together, they confront the ugly truth-- that sometimes glory has a dark side.
*** Warning--Sweet Sixteen is an upper YA book with mature themes and is intended for readers 18+.

Excerpt
Gin
Clay
Houser has a shit-eating grin as he walks up to our lunch table. He’s
got a towel thrown over one shoulder that looks like it came from one of the
locker rooms.
My
stomach churns at the thought of him tossing it at my face when it has God
knows what all over it. It’s been a quiet Thursday so
far, with most people just ignoring me or giving me dirty looks.
“Asshole alert,” Lauren says when Clay stops at our table.
Clay
sneers at her. “What’s
it like for a dyke to suck dick for drugs? Bet you gag on ‘em.”
She
laughs bitterly. “Curious about sucking dick, Clay? There are some videos online you can
watch to learn.”
Raj
tries to muffle his laugh. Clay’s cheeks darken with
embarrassment.
“You bunch of freaks
deserve each other,” he mutters.
I
put an arm out to shield my face as he starts to throw the towel, but it
surprises all of us when he tosses it at Raj instead of me.
“Wrap it around your
head, Osama.”
He sneers.
Several
football players behind him are laughing it up. Raj is trying to ignore the
whole thing, but the look on his face is gutting me.
Shame.
Clay Houser made Raj feel ashamed of who he is, and it sparks my temper into an
instant inferno. Raj doesn’t say a mean word to anyone.
His parents are dead, and the only reminder he gets of them at Roper High
School is the taunting of rednecks.
I
reach for the towel and get up from the table, advancing on Clay. I’m
not even thinking; I’m just letting my white-hot rage guide my every move.
“Clay, I hope this
towel is dirty.”
There
are only a few steps between me and him now, and he’s giving me a
bewildered look as I get closer. His cheering section has gone quiet.
“What are you doing?” He scoffs and looks
from side to side.
My
voice is ominously even. “I’m gonna shove this
towel so far down your throat that you choke on it. I hope you taste ass and
crotch as it goes down.”
