Nicole's troubles started the night of her 10 year high school reunion. Devastated to find her first love happily married and her life not going as she had planned, she passes out drunk only to be brought home by a man wearing white loafers. Five years later she is forced to return to her hometown to help her family and finds she is not the only one whose life has changed paths. Nicole is determined to rebuild her life and save her childhood home. Through it all she hopes maybe, just maybe she'll find the owner of those white loafers.

Nick Nolten is the ultimate player; no mistakes and no regrets...well, except for the occasional name mix-up. He has it all. When his friend bets him he can't last a month without having sex, with money and pride at stake, the playboy Nick Nolten slips into temporary virginity. Of course, his friends don't believe he can keep it in his pants for a month and neither does Nick, but a bet's a bet regardless of how stupid it is. With twists and turns and sticky situations, it gets harder for Nick to hold out. However, as time passes, Nick begins to learn a little something about life, love, and about himself. Will he be able to pull it off? Or will he lose everything he's trying so hard to gain?

Dominic Kinkaide does bad, bad things. As a 24-year old actor with the world on a string, not many women tell Dominic no. In a life where no doesn’t exist, he stretches the boundaries between what is right, what is wrong and what is downright depraved. Dark and damaged, Dom wants no commitments. He wants no attachments. He only wants to disappear into the taboo, into a place where he feels something. Anything. But when the aching need to disappear into the darkness is the only thing he has left, Dominic flounders. In a world that is hollow and sexual, without a guiding light or a reason to breathe, Dominic is lost and broken. He knows he’ll never be fixed. So he makes a decision. If he’s going to hell, he might as well make it worth it. ******** UNTIL WE BURN is #2.5 in the Beautifully Broken series by Courtney Cole.

This is the sequel to Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, the first book in the Weeping Willow High School series.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.
