When 17-year old Alina Winters, an ambitious and proud violinist looking for freedom in music, is offered a place in an all-boys boarding orchestra school, Alina accepts on a whim. Surrounded by men and boys she's never seen before, Alina goes on a journey to find herself. But she meets Rowan Lee, what hold she has over her life is shattered. She finds herself falling for this violinist able to keep up with her. But soon, with the start of the regional competition, only the elite can win. More importantly, only one person can win. Pressure to regain herself and earn the fame she deserves, Alina disappears into a dark world of bribery, grit, and where everyone is willing to kill to win the prize. With everything against them, will love persevere? Also, just a short message from the author. I've written this in the way the main character sees the world. Not every musician plays to get to fame, and this is the journey Alina takes to get rid of that greed. This is a hard book to read, but I promise you it will be worth it in the end. "I mean, I'd fight you for it, but I've got a violin concert tomorrow and I don't want to break any fingers."

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai. Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.
