"No, I won't leave you." He says, kissing the top of my head as if he can read my thoughts. "I'm not your problem." "Yes. Yes you are. I told you before we're in this together. Us against the whole universe." When Indy Robinson takes her own life, the last thing she expects is to wake up to find Jackson Harris from high school laying beside her. It has been four years after all, and isn't she suppose to be dead? Jackson wonders what the hell is going on. He left the house to get his pregnant wife Kat a pot of frozen yogurt; only strawberry flavour will do, to find himself waking up in a strange place, beside a girl with wild, jet black and fiery red hair, ice blue eyes and an attitude problem that strangely appeals to him. Join them as they embark on a journey of mystery, love and heartbreak.

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"
