You never really know what you have until it's gone

“His arms snaked around my waist as he held me up when I felt my legs go weak underneath me. How could I not know? How can I be so oblivious with what was really happening? I felt him lined my neck up with his sloppy kisses, but I can’t laugh, I can’t smile. Because when I looked up again to see if it was real, I closed my eyes and let the darkness take me in.” Three guys. Two girls. One dark past. This was definitely not what Teagan Greene expected when she returned to New York. After three years of communicating through the internet, Teagan is more than happy to finally see her best friend, September, again. But there’s a secret she doesn’t know about. On top of that, she found three hot guys standing in the middle of her mother’s house. Let’s just hope Teagan can come out sane.

On an expedition to the famous wreck of 'Titanic', 16-year-old Marley Faulkner discovers a mysterious journal, and feels as if she's finally found someone who understands her. Full of the tragic tales of a forgotten soul, the book's ending leaves Marley mourning for a girl she’s never even met. Or has she? The journal seems to be written for Marley, describing emotions she's certain nobody else in the world could feel but her. Could there be something that the girl in the journal, written nearly a century ago, is trying to tell her? And why does every possible explanation lead back to a single golden locket? Soon, Marley finds that through the locket--and the help of some new, unexpected friends--reaching the past and the girl from the journal isn’t as impossible as she thought. She's a time-traveler now, in a strange place where things are not always what they seem, and in a time where hundreds of lives are on the line. And she's the only one who knows enough to save them all. But how can Marley save anyone from the past when she can’t even remember there’s a present? How can she be a hero when the love of her life may be the very one who’s making her forget? And that's not all--she may only have four days left to live. ~Winner of the 2011 WATTY AWARDS.~ Inspired by the film 'Titanic.' Co-written by TEAtitanicfan and bluecanary446.
