Fallon's sole ambition in life is to escape her miserable hometown once and for all. She dreams of driving away in her convertible and leaving her painful past behind. Just one problem, her beloved convertible needs a serious overhaul before she can drive it anywhere, and car repairs cost money, a lot of money. The kind of money she doesn't have. Archer Hastings moved to town last year. He's quiet, perpetually brooding, and always has a hood drawn over his head. He's the school outcast, a recluse. He also has a knack for resurrecting hopeless vehicles. There's just one catch - he adamantly refuses to help Fallon with hers. However, the gears of fate start turning when Fallon discovers Archer's hidden weakness. He's in love with their head cheerleader, Caroline Williams. But Fallon has a secret too, and her little secret just might help Archer get out of his whole unrequited love situation. So Archer and Fallon make a pact. He fixes her convertible for her, and she helps him win over Caroline. Easy, right? Except, as Fallon spends time with Archer, she begins to see a side of him that defies his mysterious facade. There's a warmth beneath his quiet demeanor, an intensity in his gaze that sparks something unexpected within her. Now she just needs to make sure she gets her car fixed without getting her heart broken.

I wanted to fall, the blue rushed towards me like a welcome embrace as I passed through the barrier. And suddenly, silence. No, not silence. Music. The ocean wrapped around me, chasing away the demons. Eliminating all the worries of the world. Until just me, and the sea remained. All the weight of the world was carried away on the tide as I sank into the blue. The rising sun filtered down through the water like a rainbow after rain. Now most people would be worried right now. Realising they're out of breath and dying. But it's part of the reason I keep to myself, let people think I'm not normal. Because I'm not normal.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!

But will the demands of her overbearing stepmother drown out any chance she has in the competition? Lindsey only has one chance. Throw in a famous boy, jealous stepsisters and an ongoing rivalry on the waves and the odds do not seem to be in her favor. But Lindsey Fisher was born to surf, and she's not going down without a fight.
