When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.

Isobel's world is turned upside down when she meets a mysterious guy who reveals a devastating secret about her boyfriend. *** Isobel and Matt had been best friends for most of their school life when they decided to start dating. Comfortable around each other and knowing everything there was to know, a relationship seemed like a natural--and exciting--step for them. But with the novelty starting to wear off, Isobel struggles to accept that her loving boyfriend has changed, only remembering years of good memories with the guy she could talk to about anything. When Nathan arrives on the scene and secrets from the past become exposed, Isobel's world is set to change. Mysterious, dangerous and infuriatingly persistent, Nathan is the opposite of everything she's known. But maybe that's just what she needs to get over Matt.

Isobel encounters many challenges when she moves to Italy, but managing a long-distance relationship is the biggest one. *** Italy: home of pizza, pasta and prosecco. It will also be Isobel's home for the next year as she embarks on her Erasmus placement in Bologna. However, she soon discovers that life in Italy isn't just about enjoying the local cuisine. Language barriers, culture shocks and an unfamiliar city are just some of the obstacles she'll have to contend with during her time there. Then there's the added challenge of a long-distance relationship. Living 1000 miles away from each other, Nathan and Isobel find their chemistry more explosive than ever when together, but struggle to maintain the same level of emotional intimacy when apart. With the help of her flatmate, Isobel creates a list of ideas to prevent the distance from having an impact on her relationship. From romantic love letters to racy Skype sessions, Isobel hopes that her list will contain everything she needs to help her--and Nathan--get through Italy.

When Rosalie moves to the Outer Banks for the summer, sparks fly with the local lifeguard. *** British socialite Rosalie Harrington enjoys the power and respect that her position as Queen Bee brings, so she's horrified to hear that she'll be spending the summer in a remote American coastal town.

One day into her so-called holiday, a careless mistake has Rosalie fighting against a rip current. Fortunately, the local lifeguard is on hand to help.
