***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.

The art of creating a Shield Contact, also known as an ancient form of black magic, is the written agreement between two people, where one pledges to become the protector of the other for life. The protectors, known as Shields, must attend to the every whim of their contracted master, known as a Wielder, and on rare occasions, even give their life to save that of their Wielder. Shields are highly frowned upon by many, seen as a lower class of person, though only the rich are able to afford the price that comes with making a Contract. Bound by their Contracts and physically unable to harm their Wielders, Shields are forced to do as they’re told without so much as a complaint. Lucas Evernight, Shield of the famous Lightenhart family’s daughter, doesn’t agree with the way his fellow Shields are treated and despises the fact that the Evernights have been Contracted as Shields for the Lightenhart family for generations. Sent away to a military base for nine years to become as strong as he possibly can, Lucas begrudgingly returns to the Lightenhart household to take up his position as Alice Lightenhart’s Shield. Upon meeting the kind hearted Alice, Lucas’s view of Wielders begins to change, as Alice shows him that life as a Shield doesn’t need to be filled with misery. As Alice and Lucas grow up together, a beautiful friendship blossoming between them, tragedy suddenly strikes the Lightenhart family. Blamed for the horrible tragedy, Lucas is banished from the Lightenhart’s home and sent away forever, much to Alice’s dismay. A few dismal years pass after Lucas’s banishment, when the city of Rukia is invaded, and Alice’s life is put in direct danger. Setting out to rescue her, Lucas jumps right into the fray, not realising that the danger threatening to take his Wielder’s life, is quickly escalating into a national crisis.

Bliss has always been different. Because of a condition called CIPA, she’s never felt pain–no headaches, no cramps, no charlie horses. She also can’t sweat, cry or even play sports without endangering her life. And the worst part? She knows she has an expiration date, and it is probably fairly soon -- most people like her don't live past the age of 18. So, what's a girl to do? Well, if you're Bliss, you give the world the finger and decide to live life on your own terms. For her, this means training with her top-secret government agent mom in the art of hand-to-hand combat, and convincing her mad scientist dad to invent a special suit that will let her seek out the world's dangers without overheating and biting the big one. She is determined to take the world on, fighting the “bad guys” and leaving her mark during the short time she has. But when an old friend from CIPA camp asks her to help track down others like them who've suddenly disappeared under mysterious circumstances, her reckless lifestyle is put to the ultimate test. Especially when the junior government agent-in-training her mom assigns to help them with the case turns out to be totally hot--and totally into her. Torn between her feelings of anger toward the life she's been dealt and the one she could have if she just let others in, Bliss takes off on a mission that might just be her last.
