**Completed**Can smoldering resentment and attraction exist at the same time? Jess Parker has made a number of mistakes. The first was burning her school to the ground. The second, getting caught by the handsome, yet maddening boy who calls himself Asher, who tells her things that can't possibly be true. Now Jess finds herself blundering through a new and alarming world, leaving a trail of blazing destruction behind. She must choose between warring factions, two sides of an ancient war that both want her. And most of all, she must try to harness her explosive powers before they consume her. Note: FIRE is a stand-alone book set in the Jotun world. It is not book 2 of the Frost series (that will be published by Patchwork Press later this year). Cover artwork by @SeventhStar

“I—I just want to be loved for who I am. Not for this—this. This.” Her words were knotted in the back of her throat and her savoir stroked her face, gently. “I don’t want to be this.” Jillian White had never wanted to be a Visigoth. Jillian White, Dylan Smith, Benji Thomas, and Tianna just met their worse enemies: their own kind. The Visigoths were a powerful race gifted with abilities of destroying empires. They were the ones who sacked Rome; the ones who made every civilization question their power. Four girls live in a small town called Harwood. They’ve known each other since birth and hadn’t been able to leave each others’ sides. These girls are the descendants of the Visigoths and their families have taught them everything they need to know. Until Matthew Black arrives. The girls begin to realize the lies of their race, the lies they were told by their families. Jill wants to be normal, but Matthew’s making that difficult. Dylan wants to be able to trust someone other than her best friends, but how can they trust her with so many secrets? Benji wants to show everyone she doesn’t need help, but somehow, Nothing-Important keeps proving her wrong. And Tianna wants to be free from her strict grandparents, but they have a good grip on her. Matthew Black wants to destroy their world, like the Visigoths destroyed Rome, but he’s deeper than the darkness. Love Conquers All or does Darkness?

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.
