What starts as an unexpected studio collaboration turns into something deeper - stolen glances that turn into late-night calls, small gestures that carry unspoken meaning, and two artists learning how to be seen for real in a world that constantly performs. #1 in #malcolm

Catherine lost her heart years ago to the sisters of the well and hasn't thought of the Looking Glass since. Her life as queen was full of hatred and resentment for the kingdom that took everything from her and the life she decided she never deserved. She and Raven have ruled the kingdom making it the opposite of what it was before, turning it into the most unhappy place on this planet, but Time has something else in store. Not only that, but the former Red Kingdom has turned to blackness and the war with the White Kingdom rages on more brutal than ever. What if Catherine was able to regain her heart and end the war? And what if she could save her beloved Jest? My continuation of Marissa Meyer's standalone novel Heartless, I decided to change the ending for all of us. We can't all be heartless.

"Then, what was even the point of hiding, I don't get it!" "I knew you wouldn't, that's why I shouldn't have said yes from the start." "So end it. Tell me you never wish to see me and I'll never bother you again." A pain reflected in her brown eyes, that were already full of tears. "You know I won't." he whispered back, after an aching silence. "I love you Zoe." Or: Zoe thinks she's finally escaped her parents' disappointment when she arrives at the family's beach house, where she's supposed to meet her brother and have a fun summer away from noise. But what happens when Alec gets worried about school work and his not-so-secret crush Libby and instead sends Casper, his best friend and Zoe's crush since she was four?

Ashley Martin has been through more grief than a person experiences in their entire life and carries baggage that no kid should ever entail. Tyler Miller is the school's scandalous bad boy who acts on impulse, blinded rage and will single-handedly destroy anybody who stands in his way. Then all of a sudden, they're thrown together and despite their destructive past, they're forced to overcome their differences. It's time for Ashley to stop running away from his death glares, blank stares and that spine-chilling scowl that reminds her just how little he cares. Driven by a whirlwind of secrets, a class assignment and midnight walks into the past, things should start working out. But then fate kicks in; hard-hitting and soul-crushing. It's a fight-or-flight situation, a reincarnation of her past, a chance for him to right the wrongs he did by her. A second chance is like giving someone an extra bullet for their gun after they missed you the first time round. So here's Tyler's gun. Here's Ashley's heart. And here's to their second chance, however hopeless it may seem.
