She's falling for one. | Scotch Wilkins looks like a bad boy. He walks like a bad boy. He certainly dresses like a bad boy. But is he a bad boy? That's for Scotch to know and for Cleo to find out. It's not gonna be easy though. Cleo Hilard is just a university freshman, after all. Between the intense shipping from friends and the antics of their enemies, life becomes one big roller coaster ride that can go off the rails at any time, especially as more and more of Scotch's past comes to light. Lucky for Scotch, Cleo is not the type of girl to back down from a challenge. And lucky for Cleo, the feelings her sophomore cutie are keeping at bay just might be worth fighting for. Join Cleo and Scotch in a story full of fun, fluff, friendship, and shameless cliches that you can love, hate, love to hate, and hate to love! Read about how Cleo falls for the baddie on the outside.

The gods are only human. | Hestia is known as the virgin goddess of the hearth, architecture, domesticity, family, the home and the state. She's the first child of Cronus and Rhea, and the eldest of the first set of Olympian siblings. She's usually non-confrontational and level-headed, and therefore adored by all the other gods and goddesses. Now imagine if all the other gods and goddesses came to her doorstep whenever they had problems. Imagine if she was the go-to girl because of her calm and nurturing nature. Imagine the words she'd have with her philandering brother, or the conversations she'd share with her nieces and nephews. Imagine what it's like at the fireside.

Can Alice find a sense of purpose in all the madness? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that left her at loss of what to do! As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system--can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

Sahara lives in a society without men-a flawless utopia; at least, that's what everyone keeps telling her. But Sahara knows perfection comes at a cost, and she's spent her entire life acting the part of a warden's obedient daughter. She is expected to follow her mother's footsteps, to become a warden of the incarcerated men, known as Brutes. But when Sahara comes face to face with a real-life Brute, she realizes he is nothing like the government's terrifying and revolting depictions. Desperate to know why, Sahara makes a deal: she will keep his secret, but only if he answers some questions. The terrifying relationship between prosecutor and subject slowly morphs into a dangerous love, one that distorts the laws of right and wrong. When suspicions grow high and the Brute's life is in jeopardy, Sahara is faced with the ultimate dilemma: to save herself or her forbidden love.

"Something so completely beautiful shouldn't hurt you so completely. Sometimes it just does. I met her when my life was falling apart. She was falling apart too, but she picked up my pieces instead. Being good with words helps. Being bad with feelings makes thinking of the words I should have said... hurt." Cole Martin is lost. It feels like he's always been lost, between a past that haunts his every step, and an unsure future with no clear answers. He's never had anyone that made him feel like he could be more then his circumstances, and in small towns, no one seems to have a choice when it comes to remembering. No one ever forgets. There is always someone there to remind you that there is no coming back from your sins, or the sins of your father. Until Cole meets Kaye. And then everything changes.
