(TH#2)After a traumatic bullying experience and an almost fatal mistake, Emmalyn Hall moves with her family to Heart, North Carolina in hopes the same magic that healed her parents can possibly mend her as well. She moved to forget the memories of that horrible night, but she finds it's not as easy as she thought. Rhys Richardson is a lost soul stuck in an imperfect household. With an estranged mother, a workaholic father, and dozens of women amateurishly filling the maternal role in turn, his life is a chaotic mess. On the surface, they're exact opposites. Deep down, no two people could be more alike. And with that comes undeniable chemistry. But when nightmares from Emma's past come back to haunt her, one question remains: is it ever too late to love and forgive?

(TH#4)"His mind is a chaotic mess, built of the kind of stuff you read about in a Stephen King novel. He couldn't control his anger any more than I could control my stomach from rumbling when I was hungry. He thought cursing like a sailor at others was morally acceptable, and most of all didn't seem to give a rat’s ass about himself. Any normal person would have stayed far, far away. But me? Well, I wasn't normal.” When Lilia Matthews' argumentative and dysfunctional family becomes too much to bear, she moves in with her grandfather for a summer in Heart, North Carolina. What she doesn't expect? Alec Grey. He's creepy, and dark, and frankly everything Lilia doesn't need to be getting involved with. But he has a few problems of his own. Besides the fact that he's certifiably crazy, he can't remember any of the events that led to him showing up on her grandfather's doorstep. And Lilia's apparent mission? To help him regain those memories. When they clash it's like fire and ice, but as Alec and Lilia find out, it's the craziest moments of all when that fine line between love and hate seems to blur. When you find out maybe going against the world all on your own isn't all it's cracked up to be. And that sometimes, it takes delving into the insanity of another to find the sanity within yourself.

(TH#1.5) "They live inside us all, those little demons clawing and ripping their way up your body. Normally, you can hold them back. You can box them up. But sometimes, sometimes, you lose. Everybody loses eventually. Eventually, everybody falls to them." After the suicide of her mother, clinically depressed Jemma Knight finds herself shipped off to start over in the quaint town of Heart, North Carolina. Alone and grieving, it's the last thing she wants, but probably the only thing she needs. Jacob Hall hides his struggle behind a flawless facade. At school he's whoever he wants to be; charming, the star basketball player, confident. At home he's nothing but a forgotten son taking care of a little brother with the help of a nanny that replaces his carefree mother. When an eccentric English teacher pairs the two together on a semester-long project, they have no choice but to get to know each other. Getting along will be the toughest feat, but as they discover, it's okay to be a little broken inside. And it's okay to be a little sad. Because the world is imperfect, and life is imperfect, but that doesn't meant they can't find something close to perfect with each other.
