Vanessa Rubio has more interest in a career-ending injury than she does in falling in love. At least your body gives you an explainable reason for slipping away, because she has learned the hard way that love does not. Unfortunately for her, Dean Di Laurentis was inevitable. With her father being the assistant coach of his hockey team, she sees enough of him as is. Of course it was going to be her turn to be on the receiving end of his oh-so charming smile one day. With an Olympic dream, she already had a lot stacked against her. The last thing she needed to add was 250 lbs of muscle in the form of a blonde hockey player- 350 lbs if you count the girl that was probably on top of him as we speak. But their frequent encounters and his persistence has her a little more invested than she originally intended... and now she's keeping secrets from her friends. Vanessa finds herself in an awkward position (literally and figuratively). Dean Di Laurentis finds himself with a crush (at least he thinks, he's new to this). But are they willing to abandon their old ways for a shot at love? The better question is, are they able to? s1-tbd

Berkley and Dean had grown up together because their Dads were best friends and business partners. Even though they were total opposites, they were best friends too. They were so close they could finish each other's sentences and read each other's minds. When she lost her Mom, Dean was the one that helped her get through it. He had always been there for her when she needed him. He looked out for her and protected her from guys that had bad intentions, and she trusted him more than anyone else in the world. He even gave up going to his dream school so he could go to college with her to make sure she was okay after losing her Mom. When she decided she wanted to lose her virginity, her roommate convinced her it should be with Dean because she wanted her first time to be with someone special, that meant a lot to her. Who could be more special than her best friend? Dean refused because he said it would mess up their friendship, but when he found out that refusing her meant she was going to do it with a guy he hated instead, he eventually gave in. He was so protective of her that he would do anything to keep her away from that guy. The deal was, they were going to do it one time and then go back to being friends after and act like it never happened. The problem was, they didn't think through all the consequences that come along with having sex with your best friend. **** Warning!

(Sequel to Hell and Back) If Wren Jordan had learned anything while being a leader, it was to never leave her people behind. There was never a good enough reason to do so before, and she wasn't about to start looking for one now. Ever since she woke up in a blindingly, white room and saw her twin brother frantically screaming in the room opposite of her, Wren knew something was wrong. When she realized less than half of her people were present there, there was no doubt in her mind that she needed to find them and would stop at nothing to do so. Wren refused to give up hope about finding them, especially since one of the most important things in her life was with the missing group. Now, with new feelings in mind, powering her every move, Wren must be willing to work with the enemy, make new and unexpected alliances, and raise hell while fighting for the ones she loves most. Even if it meant that her bond with her twin brother would be put through the ultimate test.

Having been ripped out of her mother's arms right after being born a minute later than her twin, Wren Jordan was sent to the Sky Box on the Ark. Considered a criminal for the simple act of being born, lonely walls and cell guards are all she has and all she's ever known for the past seventeen years. When forced out of her cell one day and placed on a ship, a confused but excited Wren learns that she is part of The 100, a group of underage criminals, that are to be sent back to Earth, where no one has been to in decades. Filled with mixed emotions, Wren finds that she has no idea on what to expect on the ground. A sure death, most likely. What she most certainly didn't expect was to find that her twin was to be sent down with her and the rest of The 100. Determined to keep herself and her recently met twin alive on the ground, Wren is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe. But when some of the delinquent group decide to cause trouble, she finds that she got more than she bargained for when she tries to stop them. Confused, with new and mixed feelings found, Wren Jordan will find that it takes more to survive than she thought and that some people make it worth your while to go to Hell and Back.
