Shea Smith is also a gifted hockey player... but he sees Brenna as a threat. He believes she doesn't belong in the boys' league, despite her astounding skills; he's jealous. So, when the opportunity to potentially eject her from the league presents itself, Shea takes the opportunity. He agrees to a bet with his enemy, Connor Watt; a bet that will break Brenna's heart and make her not want to play hockey. At least... that's what he thinks. Soon, he's regretting the decision and decides to tell Brenna. She's furious, but also sees this as an opportunity to have the root of the problem ejected from the league. Brenna and Shea agree to take Connor down and expose him for who he truly is: as sexist jerk. But with bending the rules, there comes a price.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

Hi, guys! I'm Fiona Pearce, currently in the middle of summer before my first year in college. Yes, I managed to snag a spot in New Waulds University. Can you believe that? Well, that's how basically it is. And due to some unfortunate turn of events, with the ever present help of my very own pink unicorn, I'm currently on my way to my favorite cousin's beach resort. I didn't tell him, so don't expect him to be in this story. Sort of. As for him, well, his expertise is making others feel bad about themselves. But he's not all that bad. He can be sweet sometimes. His current location? Not telling. This is the second part of my/our story. As they say, there's really no such thing as goodbye. As for me, I just want some peace and quiet. I'm giving him space for him to realize things. I'm secretly wishing for a teary-eyed reunion-him welcoming me in his arms and we cry for hours. Okay, it'll never happen. And that's why this is happening. A beach. Another riddle to solve. This will be an exciting summer.
