Samantha Carey's life is good. Well, until a certain family (who's oldest twins Samantha happens to hate) moves back into the neighborhood after being gone for 2 years. -- Turning back to my locker, I grabbed by binder and textbook. Somewhere behind me, I heard a voice I recognized. “I didn’t know it was your birthday.” I froze, not wanting to turn around and see the person behind the voice. The person who I detested. The person who I was pretty sure had moved away two years ago. The person I never wanted to see again. Kill. Me. Now.

(The Triumvirate Histories Book One) What do you get when you add thirty eighteen-year-old high school seniors and a two week trip to Paris? One sometimes boring, other times not trip of a lifetime. And when you add your roommates sneaking out and your guy best friend sneaking in to your room? A night of movies and junk food until finally passing out at three in the morning. Now, for a more exciting question, what do you get when you add together a drink thrown in your face, getting lost in the museum you're in as you come back from cleaning yourself up, and walking in on heist in progress? That's right. The kidnapping of Emmy Alexander, who just happened to be me. But when you hear about all of these kidnappings on the news, you expect the worst. Not mine, though. Mine included a secret society that the public, after learning about it a few years before, thought was now a modern myth, searching the globe and stealing back the pieces of a puzzle that we didn't know what information it would hold, and running from another secret society that was bound and determine to stop us no matter what. Oh, and you can't forget John Raymond, who just happened to be the one who kidnapped me. It was technically his fault I was in the middle of this, thrust into a world of secrets. I couldn't complain, though. And no matter what, John couldn't say we didn't make a great heisting team. But when that other secret society came into our crazy, messed-up equation, it added even more danger. But then again, I wanted a little adventure in my life, and I sure as heck got it.

Ian Macpherson and Charlotte (or Charlie, as Ian calls her) Henry had been the best of friends since either could remember. But when Charlotte's mother dies of cancer when she was thirteen, Charlotte goes into a depression that even Ian can't help her out of and pushed them farther and farther apart.

But that's when Charlotte moved away to England because of her father's job. Now it's both Ian and Charlotte's senior year and everything is about to change for them both. Ian became the hot player that any girl would happily be with. He never thought he'd see Charlotte again since she'd moved to England. But now she's back and looking totally different. Charlotte still can't forget what Ian and his friends did to her before she left for England. But when they meet again, Charlotte can't help but have her feelings for Ian come flooding back to her. And maybe, just maybe, Ian will let himself feel what he'd hidden from her forever.

When Reece Macpherson was thirteen, she fell in love. Not with someone her own age but with her oldest brother's best friend, Kane Jackson, who was four years older than her. But this wasn't just a one-sided thing. He loved her, too. At least that's what she thought. Now four years later, Reece is 'little miss player' at school, going out with two or three different boys every week. She was just looking to have fun and not commitment. Ever since Kane broke her heart and moved all the way across the country to go to college and play basketball, Reece had never thought that love could be real. Reece never expected to see Kane again...until she walked into class after Christmas break of her senior year and found out that he was her new teacher and boys' basketball coach! But teaching isn't the only reason why Kane came back... And he's keeping a bigger secret than even Reece could have imagined.
