After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One) Ranked #1 in literaryfiction (02/26)

She only wanted one night at the barricade. One night to scream the songs that saved her. One night to feel close to the rockstar she's always felt an unexplainable connection to. But when a car pulls up outside the venue after the show, blocking the fans, Maddox's stubborn mouth turns her into a target-and a single gunshot changes everything. Bleeding on the pavement, she wakes up to find the last person she expected waiting at her side: him. Dominic Harrison is supposed to be on tour, untouchable, larger than life. He has a career, managers, fans-an entire world depending on him. He isn't supposed to care about a stranger. Except Maddox isn't a stranger. She's familiar. Too familiar. The girl from the barrier. The girl in the comments. The one he could never stop noticing. As Dom's world collides with Maddox's, what starts with blood and chaos spirals into something neither of them can explain: a messy, obsessive, soul-tied love story filled with trauma, banter, stolen moments, and battles against demons both inside and out. And when the past refuses to stay buried, both will have to decide just how far they're willing to go to protect each other. * Triggers - SA, Shootings *Thanks to those of you taking time to read this ever evolving story.

Natalie is thrilled to finally leave high school behind and start a new chapter in her life.

Now, she vows to cherish herself more, to be confident, and to never change for anyone else's approval. But what happens when the same guy she grew to hate, after four years of trying and failing to get his attention, ends up at the same university and, for the first time, calls her name?
