Polar opposites sharing bunk beds and possibly falling in love in the process. Alex would not believe it in a billion years. ***** Alex is an only child, a force of nature, and an academic machine. At least, she likes to focus on those aspects of her life. At night she dwells on past heartbreak, stalks her dad's perfect mistress, and powers through panic attacks. It's a nice little bubble she's constructed, and only one person is strong enough to trespass it. It wasn't Jonathan's intention to land up in the house of the girl who most despises him, much less to take up a bunk bed in her room, but there's not much of a choice at hand. His father kicked him out, his mother turned his back on him, and his life turned on its head in an instant. After all, it's hard to keep everything the same when you suddenly have a roommate. A plethora of movie nights, heated arguments and surprising reveals later, neither of them know what to believe anymore. How can you hate the only person who can truly give you peace? Alex may be excellent at climbing the ladder that separates her from her lovely predicament, but she may not be ready for the fall that comes next. #tsc22

*In major construction. Do not read unless you do not want to read the ending for a very long time until I get things figured out. Thanks!* I was just a hacker. Your average, seventeen-year-old, very sarcastic hacker. Well, average if you thought average meant living with your fried chicken obsessed uncle after your ex-secret agent parents mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Earth. Until that day. A simple business card from an odd boy claiming he needed a hacker for something of the utmost importance. Now? I’m working with the son of the director of the FBI to figure out who wants his father—and possibly us—dead. Not to mention not getting caught and totally not falling for him all while still trying to figure out where my parents are. As I said, nothing good could come of this.

When her best friend Farrah starts dating this bad boy's friend she knows that the countless run in's and unwanted conversations are inevitable and tries to find a way to not kill her self.

There is something about her that just draws him in. And as much as Olivia tries to fight the connection, she can never seem to erase him from her mind. Not that Thomas would even think about letting her anyway. Can Thomas convince her that maybe Bad Boy's are her type after all? ****Spin-off of The Bad Boy is Possessive. It is NOT necessary to read TBBIP to understand this book.****

Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...
