Valerie O'Conner has a pretty good idea of how her summer will go, and it revolves around three very simple activities: sunbathing, working at the local ice-cream parlour, and daydreaming about a world where Logan Mathews doesn't get his way. What she isn't exactly prepared for is a British tourist with a habit of pushing her out of her comfort zone. It doesn't take long for Alastair Sullivan to decide that his entertainment in sleepy Sandy Cove will be helping the town cynic find love. When Valerie's life is turned upside down by a series of promises, she's forced to battle with what she really believes in. A Young Adult story of personal growth, conflicting feelings and a whole lot of romance. Highest Rank: #37 in teen fiction.

Have you ever heard of "Pavlov's Dog" experiment? It's all about retraining the brain - reacting a specific way to a certain stimulus. Take for example, the stimulus were someone taking a swipe at your head. One of two basic instincts occur: take cover and hide - or fight back. As a professional female boxer, my instinct is to fight back - it's part of the job description. But conditional training has rewired my brain to be ready for a fight whenever I hear my favorite band, Fall Out Boy. So you better believe I listen to them on repeat before a match. My advantage puts me on the map, and my growing spotlight seems to attract a particular member of the band. But what happens when not only my brain gets rewired, but my heart as well? As they say - your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. Cover must be credited to @Black_Emerald - thank you so much again!

Lux believes that she has gone insane when she discovers she is descended from an ancient line of witches that can be traced back generations. The Circle of the Raven. When Caden finally finds Lux, he fears it may be too late. Their world might be too far gone to even try to save it. All he can do is try and prepare Lux to face her nightmares and become the war machine they desperately need.

Allison O'Donnell had always thought her dream of ever making it big was slightly far-fetched. Understandable though, especially since the most she'd ever been able to achieve were small photo shoots she was positive no one ever really saw. Until of course, she is suddenly recommended to a movie producer. She has no idea who the anonymous person was and for a while, has no time to dwell on it. Considering she was finding it impossible to balance the new busy and extremely demanding work schedule with a certain rude and obnoxious boy she just couldn't seem to get away from, it was no wonder.
