After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston's fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he's not as evil as everyone says - and that their city is under a vicious new threat.

[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life. He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.

“You’re my Wendy and I’m your Peter. We can fly away to Neverland and sword fight with Captain Hook because that’s the point, it doesn’t have to make sense, we don’t have to follow the rules as long as we make up a new set that follows the philosophy of never growing up and fixing everything with a bit of pixie dust.” He smiled at me and his eyes melted through my own. “That’s the thing about Disney and one day, I promise I will show you everything you refuse to believe in.” Carly Ann is in a serious pickle. With no money for college and barely enough for rent, she has no idea how she's going to get out of the dump she's living in. To make matters worse, she meets a boy who is too happy to be considered human, obsessed with all things Disney and for some reason, gains a strange liking to her. He introduces her to all sorts of strange stuff, like wild parties, girls that have experienced things Carly has only heard of from Nicolas Sparks books and boys. Lots of boys. However, Carly is just as fiery and stubborn as the colour of her hair and the strange Disney boy is going to experience one of his greatest challenges yet, bigger than the fight between Peter Pan and Captian Hook. That's pretty darn big. Noah White is on a mission. He is determined to make Carly enjoy Disney, even if he has to take her on a trip to Neverland in the process. ____________________________ All mentions of Disney Land and Disney World belong to Walt Disney along with all characters.

Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.

"Anna dislikes being stuck three-quarters of the way down a chimney. She really does. Not to mention, she's still going round North America, and there's, like, three continents still to get through in about as many hours."
