"What are you left with, if you give up everything you think you know, for love?" LYDIA YOUNG hates her life. She's rich, beautiful, and popular, and dates a future lord, but her only wish is to get as far away from it all as possible. And she would do everything and anything in her power to do so. She's been admitted to a top university and is keeping everything in her life in check, preparing for moving away to Scotland and finally starting anew. Until her best childhood friend, MARK CARTER returns from America and drops into her life like a grenade, about to explode. Devastatingly handsome, grown-up and shroud in mystery, he sucks her into a vortex of love, excitement, and secrets until Lydia is left stranded far, far away from her clearly laid out, preset path. At least, she still has Mark. Or so she thinks. She can tell Mark is hiding something. She just doesn't know what yet. When the grenade finally goes off and Mark's past and Lydia's present catch up with them, Lydia has only one question to ask herself: What are you left with, when you give up everything you think know, for love?

Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover by @fuzziwrites)
