College is just like her old life . . . bleak. Surviving it won't be easy, especially when the girlfriend of the guy she's loved her entire life would rather see her dead. So much for that clean slate. Instead she's constantly looking over her shoulder, watching, waiting and worrying. Lucky for Emma she met The Senator's Son. Zach Walker is the typical rich kid . . . or is he? He's all heart, not like all those other guys. She isn't supposed to fall for him. She doesn't even know if she can trust him. He is completely tempting and totally out of her league. Please note - there is profanity and sexual situations. All rights reserved.

"It hurts!" he shouted with all his lung capacity while his cries filled the room. He was shaking again and Adelaide felt lost with him. She couldn't take his pain away with words or actions. She couldn't bring his high school sweetheart back for him. She was just able to watch him break slowly into million pieces. "I know, but you need to let go Zayn. You need to let go and forgive yourself. Holding on to her will end up eating you alive. It will kill us", Adelaide said whispering the last part. When she met him at the support group meeting, she didn't know she would end up falling in love with this mysterious guy, who didn't share his loss with others. She didn't know she would end up caring about him so much that she wouldn't care about herself anymore. She was willing to lose herself, if that meant that he would find himself.

Meet Ashlynn Carter; sixteen years old, quiet, bullied at school. Meet Hope Carter; sixteen years old, extremely loud and...dead. Eleven years ago, Hope died in a tragic accident, leaving her twin an only child. Now, over a decade later, Hope's back...but not in the way you'd expect. A traumatic and brutal incident leaves Ashlynn herself close to death. Who saves her from a terrible fate? Her dead twin sister, talking to her in her head. Now, as Ashlynn tries to recover from an incident most would not survive, for the first time in her life she has a friend. Only this is a friend with a difference. Hope never leaves, residing in her sister's head constantly. Every thought, every movement, every breath is watched by the girl. Suddenly, school isn't so horrid anymore and Ashlynn...Ashlynn isn't alone. But is what Hope's doing right? Or is it even 'Hope' at all? Is this some terrible shock-induced phenomena, or do the dead never truly leave?

Jessie didn't like people. She preferred the solitude inside of her apartment walls. All of that changes when she meets Luca Mendez, who proves to be as persistent as she is prickly. He won't stop until he tears down all the walls she built around herself. Every. Single. One of them. She was convinced he would walk away. They always do. But for some inexplicable reason, he seemed determined to prove her wrong.
