Caleb-Coast Guard hero with the perfect girlfriend-practically raised his two younger brothers. He always plays by the rules. He always wins. His duty is clear: give his little sister a home. Pancakes for breakfast, rock music in the basement... Wynter knows she belongs here. But when the authorities step in, will Caleb realize he needs to bend the rules? His brothers could teach him a thing or two about that... Jesse-freshman science wiz and a legend in his own mind-takes on the momentous task of educating Wynter.

Trapped in the foster care system, struggling to navigate middle school cliques, and with her dreams of a united family fading, Wynter is offered love from an unexpected direction.

Book 1 | Completed | "Lydia, what if there's a reason I was on the bridge that night?" Two strangers. One cross-country adventure. After an unorthodox meeting on The George Washington Bridge, Sean Williams and Lydia Preston agree to take the road trip of a lifetime. With nothing but the open highway in front of them, they learn everything they can about each other. Come to find out...they couldn't be more different. Sean is a rich software developer who is running from inner demons and a crazy ex-girlfriend. Lydia comes from a tragic past with nothing more than the clothes on her back. When these two misfits embarked on a journey full of laughter, pain, and self-discovery, they realized they were trying to find their places in this world. But What if where they belonged was actually alongside one another?

Benjamin is a lonely boy. Sentina is a self-centered demon. And after he accidentally summons her in his bathroom, she offers him a deal that is too good to refuse. She would get rid of his loneliness. And in exchange, she doesn't ask for his soul, but for something she describes as "insignificant". Emotions, to be exact. As both attempt to get the best out of their deal, Benjamin learns that demons aren't the evil creatures of darkness he'd thought they were. They can be friendly, compassionate, kind. And it isn't only demons that humans misunderstood. Angels aren't holy creatures of purity, they have flaws, they are hateful, they can cause pain and they are after Sentina. Soon, the deal becomes a little less harmless as murderous winged people and emotionless bodies barge into Benjamin's life. He is now forced to choose a side in an endless war.
