Forgetting changed her... Remembering might destroy her. When Chloe fell asleep in study hall, it was the middle of May. When she wakes up, snow is on the ground and she can't remember the last six months of her life. Before, she'd been a mediocre student. Now, she's on track for valedictorian and being recruited by Ivy League schools. Before, she never had a chance with super jock Blake. Now he's her boyfriend. Before, she and Maggie were inseparable. Now her best friend won't speak to her. What happened to her? Remembering the truth could be more dangerous than she knows...

At the start of a new school year 16 year old Spencer Bennett finds herself lost. She had lost most of her friends over the summer and was no longer on speaking terms with her best friend Chloe. She befriends Quinn Stewart, the bad girl of her High school and with Quinn's help she sets out to go after the guy she likes. However, there are many obstacles that she must face along the way before she can get what she wants.

"A fast-paced blend of high-stakes drama and average teenage concerns (sex, appearance, friends), capped with a welcome message of hope." ~Kirkus Reviews This book is for sale on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Castles-on-the-Sand-ebook/dp/B008ZGNMDS/ref=pd_sim_kstore_4 Madison Lukas knows her place in the world. She’s not pretty, not interesting, and therefore easy to forget. When it comes to romance, she has to take whatever is on offer. John Britton has been praying for fifteen years to find the sister he lost in his parents’ divorce. She is beautiful, talented, and makes kindness a fine art. Few, if any, guys are worthy to date her. When John and Madison cross paths, he recognizes her at once, but Madison is certain that he’s got it all wrong. Even if she is his long-lost sister, she can’t possibly be the exceptional, amazing girl he thinks she is, can she?
