There are three things Logan MacArthur knows beyond a doubt. One: Boys suck. And no amount of sexy abdominal muscles, bulging biceps, wicked grins, or smouldering eyes could convince her otherwise. Two: Oreos and peanut butter were invented for that moment when every girl realised that boys suck, and talking about feelings wouldn't change that. Three: Her mother must have been on crack when she decided to curse her with the name Logan.

Larkin Sawyer’s parents thought moving would solve all of their problems, or at least make it seem like they weren’t there. As for Larkin, she knows better. Out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind. It just meant you knew what everybody else was thinking, but you couldn’t address it out loud. Bombarded with a new town, a new school, and the daunting prospect of fitting in, Larkin does her best to put her past behind her while trying to go unnoticed in her new hometown. This strategy works for the most part, and blending in is pure bliss for Larkin until she is given an assignment for her senior English class. On the surface it’s simple: Tell the Truth. But what Larkin’s teacher could never have guessed was that telling the truth was one of the hardest things she would ever have to do. To make matters worse, she manages to gain the attention of a boy whose reputation for fighting and delinquency definitely precedes him. Someone like the aloof and withdrawn Caleb Ford is the last thing Larkin needs, but when they accidentally switch English assignments she is forced to spend time with him in order to discern his motives and figure out if he intends to tell anyone her deepest, darkest secrets. It starts out as a burden and the most dreaded venture of her life, but over time Larkin starts to understand that Caleb isn’t all he’s been talked up to be. On the contrary, he seems to be hiding just as many demons as she is.

Everything happens for a reason. It’s what Ioney Mercer tells herself whenever she pauses to think about the circumstances of her life. Why did her older brother die? Why did her mother leave her with five brothers and sisters to raise? Why did the only person she’d ever fallen in love with have to go? Because everything happens for a reason. Saying it was one thing. Believing it was another. And recently, the mantra had started sounding more like an annoying show tune that could easily be tuned out rather than the unfailing piece of truth she needed it to be. But then, one silly little saying could only get you so far when your life was on the line yet again. More importantly, it meant absolutely nothing when your family was being targeted as well. Things are starting to shake up in Chicago. Callahan Cordero has been released from prison. His first order of business: Revenge on the person responsible for putting him there. With nowhere to run or hide, Ioney has no choice but to engage the enemy head on. The only question left to ask is whether she will stand alone, or if help will come from the most unlikely of places.

“This time tomorrow, we’ll have finally arrived at our destination,” I said dryly. “This time tomorrow, certain people will appreciate that patience is a virtue,” Odynn retorted. “This time tomorrow, someone will realise neither patience nor virtue are part of my vocabulary.” “This time tomorrow it will occur to you that patience is never found in women; I was just wishful thinking.” I scoffed. “This time tomorrow you’ll be regretting your sexist comment.” His grin was cocky, his comeback on the tip of his tongue before I’d even finished speaking. “This time tomorrow I’ll charm you out of your vengeful mood.” I was grinning in turn. “This time tomorrow you’ll discover there’s one woman you can’t talk your way around; beware my bitch slap, it stings.” “This time tomorrow… shit!” Odynn breathed, and laughed at his own defeat. “Okay, okay, you win.” This Time Tomorrow follows best friends Alex Parker and Odynn Palladino through their final year of high school.

Jude Turner has a problem. Actually, she has a few of concerning fame, alcohol, rivalries, lifestyle and hiatus. Yet - for the moment - her main affair is a solo album. With the band she'd joined at just fifteen years old going on a break, Jude is left wallowing for over a year until she decides to make that elusive solo album. But she goes one step further when she decides to go deep into the Californian desert to record at a legendary studio. When a musical rivalry as old as time is renewed with The Bends, a band cemented on the tumultuous relationship of Cam and Logan Harrison, she can't seem to find stable footing in this new solo world, let alone enough to stand her own against two obnoxiously arrogant brothers. It could be the album of a lifetime or the nightmare of hers. And Jude is finding that there's a very thin line that separates the two.

Allison Wright is the first to admit she has a great life. With good friends, perfect grades, a promising future and a family fortune stretching back generations; what's not to like? And besides her dislike of music, she fits in perfectly with her circle of friends. Yet as her senior year of high school begins and the pressures of University as well as the future start bearing down, she finds herself looking for something different. She’s just not quite sure what she’s looking for. That is until a passing mention and multiple encounters bring a boy she'd never met before to the forefront of her mind. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met. With his deep grey eyes, secrets and guitar; Cole Mathews might just be that dose of different she's been longing for.

Jacey Nara is as ordinary as they come. Nothing overly special, nothing overly dull, but easily overlooked. Being in the foster system along with thousands of other society rejects isn't doing her any favours either. Especially when all she wants in the world is a place to belong, maybe even a place where she stands out. All too soon Jacey learns that fate has a way of making your wishes come true when she is abducted by a very sexy, albeit somewhat unstable young man by the name of Kade who delivers her to a town in the middle of nowhere. And boy do these people take notice of her - the human, as they like to refer to her. But far from being elated at receiving the attention she has been craving for most of her life, Jacey finds herself begging to be returned to her mundane existence, far away from the crazy people Kade has brought her to spouting nonsense about werewolves and vampires. And as Jacey is unwillingly thrown even deeper into the world of the paranormal, she discovers that not everyone plays as nicely as Kade.
