When his ailing grandfather commands him to search for a long-lost female cousin, Evelyn Dresdenham, the notorious Marquis of Denver, is very disinclined to oblige. One night, when he unwittingly saves a young lady disguising herself as a man from trouble, Lord Denver strikes upon a cunning notion and soon realizes he cannot let this enchanting waif slip so easily... Running away from the oppressive orphanage that has sheltered her since the death of her grandfather, Georgie Kentsville is set on coming to London by hook or by crook. Little does she expect to find herself in a rare hobble, and even less to be held back by a handsome but bored nobleman, who suddenly offers her a very outrageous proposal : to pose as his long-lost cousin!

"Kiss me." He orders, slamming my locker shut. "Is she coming?" I ask, turning my head to look behind me, but he grabs my face and makes me look up at him. "Yes, now kiss me." I do as told, getting on my tippy toes as I lean up to kiss him. He kisses me back slowly, before he pins me against the lockers and deepens the kiss. My eyes widen and I try to push him away. This isn't part of the deal. He pulls away, a full on smirk plastered on his face. "I lied." He confesses, turning around. "She wasn't coming." Then, he walks away.

"'Caution. Hotness at work. May spontaneously combust.' I read Ross' neon shirt with something akin to disgust, brushing back my hair and shooting him a glare. 'Really? Really, Ross? I hope you realize that no one's going to find you attractive when you're picking up trash from the ground with a stick.'" When Ross Alderman literally blows up Jenn's AP Chemistry class, the two of them find themselves stuck with thirty hours of community service. Now if only Jenn can last that long picking up trash with him without combusting from anger, no chemistry humor intended. (current cover by @Razeeta)

Thea Hartens never liked too much attention. And that's only one of her many fears. This story started when Thea receives a letter saying that she got invited to the Sophomore Year's Leadership Training Seminar. She really got shocked when she found out she was chosen to be the participant of such seminar. Well, she was MORE shocked when she knew who her seminary partner is. That day has been such a bittersweet moment. The first time that Seth Deavon spoke to her, Thea knew every single day with him was going to be hell. He was annoying--correction: very annoying, uber stubborn and a hell of a jerk. Wait, did I mention he has an ego the size of Canada? But everytime they're together, something happens--either they're laughing together, Thea's crying or Thea feels the butterflies in her stomach going crazy (*wink*). Two entirely different people will have to trust each other and the first step of gaining their trust is being friends. And I tell you, Seth is not good at making friends--especially if it's a girl. But what do they say? Sometimes, things changes and everything has a reason. And we all have to take a risk. So live, laugh and love with Thea Hartens in her crazy life with Seth Deavon in This Bad Boy I'm With.

There was not anything seemingly frightening about Thea, but she could stop a man dead in their tracks without even lifting a finger. She is an Empath, one with the rare ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around her. Her uncle, the king, uses this to his own advantage, forcing Thea to do his bidding. But under his majesty's rule, the kingdom has fallen into ruin, with the Red Fever running rampant. There are whispers of an uprising, their sole purpose to restore order to the land. With pressure mounting, Thea is not sure how much more her powers can take before madness sets in. Will she side with the rebels and return Lyria to its former glory, or will Thea remain under her uncle's rule and protect the only family she has left? I have altered the original cover for this to fit the story with permission from the original artist to use her work. This talented lady can be found here: http://yolandablazquez.deviantart.com/
