The next December, they were apart. [Sequel to December]

George Halliwell is a spirit. Shortly after the War Between the Planes broke out, he moved to the Human Plane, hopeless and alone. His life has been unreasonably vague until he encounters a young woman from the Human Plane named Marie Bates. With her help, George tries to resolve the problem among his fellow spirits. What he doesn't know, however, is that the beings he trusts are, in reality, the ones who would turn their backs on him.

"We're all looking for the same things in the end." She thinks people are mundane. He thinks people are fascinating. Somehow, they fall in love.

Our memories do not always serve us correctly. But they do serve us kindly.

There are three stages in love: Over the clouds with happiness, above the surface (barely scratching), and under the water (twenty feet deep). You go up, then spiral down. How do you save yourself from drowning? Charlotte doesn't even want to take that first step. She's been through enough, thank you very much. Oliver is determined to drag her with him - 'til death do them part. They're just going to have to go over, above, and under while they figure out how to make the cycle repeat itself.

They met in December.

It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.

Katie Holmes is a caffeine addict. Between college, and taking care of her brother, it's acceptable. Though, it doesn't help that the cafe down the street is full of handsome baristas, including one William Cerak in particular who has a mysterious scar on his wrist. Synopses will be the death of my publishing career.

‘He went out of the room. In his boxers. Again. Like the laws and principles of the universe, which were scientifically proven, I couldn’t help but scowl. He smirked. “Well, stop drooling all over me.” I wrinkled my nose. “Right. Good luck with your delusions.” With that, I prepared to leave. Cam’s jaw twitched. He walked closer to me. Closer still. His green eyes held me in place. Before I knew it, he was standing inches from me. I was holding my breath. He smiled confidently. “Falling in love with me?” I didn’t know why... but I was speechless.’ Seventeen year-old Shea Collins’s life was pretty much falling apart. She was flunking her Physics class, she has a hundred bucks to pay to a long-lost childhood friend she could barely remember, she was receiving anonymous declarations of love from a secret admirer (which were completely embarrassing), and now her spot on the school paper is in jeopardy. What she wants: To keep her spot as the feature editor of the school paper. How she plans to do it: To survive being a phantom writer. A writer no one would know of. A mystery. Someone who would write gossips and rumors about students. Who she’s planning to target: Oh, just the biggest jerk of the century—Camden Sun. What she’s going to get: Trouble. Lots of it. What she didn’t expect: The unexpected (duh). Love.
