Josie McCall and Timothy Matthews were in love. Until, they weren't. It's been two years since their breakup, and Tim is a dedicated university student. He's been buried in books and homework since that dreaded day, and he's had little time to focus on his romantic life. With graduation just around the corner, he's worried about his future and what it will hold - or possibly, who. Josie is a diehard romantic. Her whole life she's pined for "The One". The one who will make everything okay, the one who can take her flaws and find the beauty in them. And now that she's engaged to Nathan, she's found it - or so, she tells herself. One day, Tim and Josie find themselves reconnecting, and as much as they don't want them to, old feelings resurface. Told from different times of their lives together, Tim and Josie's journey in and out of love is left with one question: When it feels like first love stays with you forever, was their breakup a mistake?

In an era where new machinery has brought stability, peculiarities are a direct attack against a secure way of life. These peculiarities often come in the form of people with supernatural abilities. Terrified of ostracization, they are forced into a life of suppression and normalcy. To make matters worse, groups of mech enhanced hunters are dedicated to capturing Peculiars and ridding them from the world. Winnifred Graham is a Peculiar with a control over gravity. After years of being doomed to the earth, she longs for freedom. Her opportunity comes in the form of Edgar Strange, a man who is fascinated by Peculiars and seeks to rescue them from their hateful society. Winnifred and Strange embark on a journey across the world to find other Peculiars and take them to a place of acceptance. With hunters on their trail, fearful villages, and a mysterious man hot on their heels, they can't afford to let their guard down. However, even in the midst of chaos, Winnifred and Strange's growing ragtag bunch of Peculiars make time for a few small adventures along the way. _____ I do not own the art used in this cover.
