The year is 1779. The American Revolution is in full swing, and right now, it seems like the British army will win. New York and Philadelphia are both occupied by the British army, and with the hope of French aid still an ocean away, all seems lost to many. However, one officer in the American army, Benjamin Tallmadge, is looking to change that. With the blessing of General George Washington, himself, he is forming a spy ring meant to supply the army with information on what is going on in New York. But, rather than staffing it with military officers, he is staffing it with a group of unprecedented people: the civilians of New York and neighboring areas. Enter Ophelia Stroud. She's the wife of an American soldier, and is counting down the days until he comes home. The war has been in the sleepy town she calls home for months, but still, she considers it to be more of a nuisance, one that involves her husband being gone on far off campaigns and a British soldier quartered in her home. However, when her husband is captured and sent to the HMS Jersey for imprisonment, she finds herself looking for a way to end the war so her husband can come home. She finds it in an invite from a close family friend, and finds herself wrapped up in a game of cat-and-mouse she never could've imagined.

I see her all the time, she's beautiful, I want to talk to her so badly, but she doesn't even acknowledge me, she probably thinks I'm just an arrogant jerk, I just want her to see the real me, but even then, would she like me? There are two sides to every story, and that's certainly the case with this one. Highest Ranking So Far: #62 in teen fiction

Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

"Remind me again why I thought spending six weeks with a bunch of hyperactive, sweaty and supposedly 'musically gifted' kids was a good idea?" Bailey Cunningham has gone and taken the plunge - she's not only signed up for the job of a camp counselor at Triple Lakes Camp for Musically Gifted Children, but she's roped her best friend, Savannah, into it too. However, the pair really get more than they bargained for when they discover they'll be sharing their summer with not only the kids, but the guy who looks as if he's stepped out of an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog, the quirky brother, and the sugar-coated flautist who's way too sweet for her own good. In the midst of the madness, only one thing's for sure: Bailey knows absolutely nothing about music.
