I look up he is there, I look down he is there, left, right, center, he is there. There is no escaping this boy, i wish there was. He doesn't know what he is getting himself into. I'm damaged goods for no one to see but this boy has me under a microscope. *** Gracie Chapman is the new girl from England. Simple, quiet, girl next door is what she aims for. She has just moved in with the aunt she has never met and just wants to lay low for a few months. She wants to hide. She needs to hide. *** Her neighbor is Sam Johnson, the self-sure, tough guy. Immediately, Sam takes interest in Gracie but when her pictures appear on the 5 O'clock news, Sam is left with a question "Who the hell is this girl?" *** Sam tries to get to know Gracie better but the more he pushes the more she shoves, it's obvious this girl has secrets she wants to keep. But exactly how dark are these secrets? Will he ever know? Does he even want to?

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.

Only the Elementals can destroy the villain behind the genocide, yet some elements are missing. They simply cannot defeat the killer without the Lost Element. A mastermind plot. Three pinpricks of light. The Lost Element. © Copyright, Carian Elen. **Author's Note**: I know this is silly, but it's something that's really bugging me. The chapter titles (Chapter One: Family, e.g)... it's extremely hard to centre them and I've tried to do that and underline it and everything, but it refuses to work. So just um... imagine they're underlined and in the centre, as well as bolded. Yeah.
