In a world where your soulmate is determined by their favorite song, people have gone, and continue to go, to extreme lengths to find their other half. Lydia Harper has known her favorite song since she was twelve years old. She remembers the exact moment she decided - when she heard the way the gentle strumming of the guitar lead into the clever lyricism and experienced the way the song resonated with her. She loved how soft it was, like a cloud wrapping around her in a poetic spiral, and how she could feel so at ease even while the words hit so hard. The music flowed through her and lit her up in a way she didn't know was possible. But she doesn't want to rush fate. She just wants her cards to fall as they should. It's a lot harder than it should be when fate is out against her.

A story about two girls who are best friends, lovers, and lobsters. All at once.

The water supply at Gregory College is contaminated, possibly fatal, and definitely unfit for drinking. It's the worst crisis Gregory College has ever had to deal with in years. Twenty year old Rainey Dumar is in charge of delivering free water bottles to her fellow students. She likes the job, but it is what it is: a way to get cash and support her struggling family. Things take a sharp turn when a new employee joins the team: Danika Reddy, a sophomore who is sweet, gorgeous, and maybe not the smartest person around. The two girls are polar opposites: hot and cold, gay and straight, and lo and behold violent sparks fly in the workplace, unlike anything Rainey's ever felt before. To make matters worse, Rainey finds herself entangled in a sinister spirit group on campus. They like to steal cars, leave mysterious notes, and threaten innocent lives. Despite attempts to resist all outside help, it's Danika who comes to her rescue. Danika, who is nothing like she seems, is fiercely protective of her uptight boss, danger be damned. Drowning in trouble, Rainey can't tell which is worse: being targeted by a criminal college cult or falling for a straight girl. Welcome to Gregory College.
