ABC... Love, one letter at a time... After years of watching her rebellious older sister clash with their mother, Brooke Calloway has a firm moral stance when it comes to relationships and dating. Her plan entering high school is to focus on academics, extracurriculars and friends-not boys. Cameron Summerfield, who happens to live just up the street, has a similar mindset. Smart, athletic and kind, he's more interested in academics than dating. But when Brooke's mischievous Jack Russell terrier sparks a fateful introduction, everything changes. It's "like" at first sight. An immediate, mutual crush. Soulmates, if either of them believed in such nonsense. But sometimes the right person appears before you're ready. Their initial attempt at friendship soon blossoms into something real, tender and electric that will test their resolve. As Brooke and Cameron grapple with boundaries, intimacy and personal values, they learn to navigate the balance of holding back and giving in. Writing their love story together, one letter at a time, they'll discover that the heart doesn't always follow "the rules."

The world sees a Marchioness. Her husband sees a masterpiece. Her Lady's Maid sees the truth. Anne sees the architecture of a secret that could destroy them all. In 1961, a child in Shropshire finds a silk scarf in her mother's drawer and understands, wordlessly and completely, something true about herself that the world will spend decades refusing to confirm. In 1993, that same woman - Anne Kirkendall, architect, Marchioness, and keeper of carefully guarded secrets - stands in raw silk and her grandmother's pearls in a four-hundred-year-old church in Gloucestershire and prepares to marry the man who chose her with open eyes and has never once looked away. But Briarbrush is not simply a home. It is forty rooms of history, expectation, and scrutiny. It is a title that carries weight. It is a life lived at the intersection of the most private truth and the most public performance - and Anne must navigate both with the same precision she brings to her buildings. Load-bearing walls. Honest foundations. Everything beautiful rises from that. Spanning eight decades and four volumes, from the quiet fields of Shropshire to the corridors of Windsor Castle, from a Harley Street consulting room to the terraces of Corfu, THE MARCHIONESS OF BRIARBRUSH is the epic story of a woman who built herself from the ground up - and the husband, the Lady's Maid, the Queen, and the community who held the structure steady while she did

When 15-year-old Izel Aziz gets a note during his last period at school, warning him not to touch any electronics in his home, he thinks nothing of it (or at least thinks he doesn't.) That is, of course, when he goes to log into his and his sister's co-op save of Moonwillow Hollow, only for him to be sucked into the game upon pressing the save file. When he enters the game due to being sick of having to be stuck in the closet, though, everything seems a lot more real than he thought this pixel filled world would be... ONC Prompts: 8.
