Meet Park Sparrow, a feisty and reckless outcast who's just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world. Except Park is the Princess of Cimeria, a potential heir to one of the last monarchies in the world. All her life, Park has known nothing but politics and danger. In a desperate attempt to protect her, the royal family sent Park to study in the states, keeping her identity and whereabouts a complete secret.

Highest ranking: #1 in Teen Fiction -- "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her?

Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief.
