[PUBLISHED UNDER POP FICTION, AN IMPRINT OF SUMMIT MEDIA] One competition, one man, twenty-five women, and a bet. Zachary Astor wanted to be the Bachelor for one purpose alone: to prove to his friends that he can ditch twenty-five women without ever looking back at any of them. But will he stand on to his words when he meets Julianne Grey, the only woman who seems to regret being in the competition? Despite what he thinks, Zachary will find his thoughts preoccupied by the weird, silent, and mysterious girl he keeps on giving a rose much to his own amazement and her disappointment.

This is the quite peculiar (yes, i said pecuiliar) story of Josie Cumberdale. Your average not exactly norm teen, living through her not so norm life. A crazy un-realistic humerous fantabulous story. Fillled with aquatic animals, hobos, charlie *whistle*, cactus', and unusal humor. So, read it. Try it out! I mean, comon. Your not getting any younger... yeah.

Imagine being the girl, the one who is looked down upon as a monster.Everyones eyes are on you, watching. Waiting for you to slip up and prove them right. This is what Calypso Ellington lives through every day, just because on her birthday instead of rejoicing another year of age, she mourns her mother's death. In the eyes of the pack, she killed her mother in child birth. The Elders of the village place her in training to be a future protector, since a very young age. Their reasons for this unknown. But when Calypso finally feels she belongs somewhere and a small spark of love is ignited, people start to go missing. When war breaks out and alliances are tested, secrets held for decades come forth. Even one that changes Calypso's life entirely, and leaves her wondering where her trust lies. She has no choice but to rely on love more than ever. In the end though, who will triumph? And who will survive? A heart pounding story set in the sixteen hundreds, with a spike of a young romance. And the bone chilling ending, you will never see coming...
