Fly Away with Me
Seventeen-year-old Callie Donovan's life has always been mapped out for her-until a car crash kills both of her parents and leaves her completely unequipped for the life that follows. Sent to live at Estrella, the sprawling estate belonging to her father's closest friend, Callie must navigate grief, buried family secrets, and a world from which she had always been carefully protected. For the first time, she is expected to make her own decisions, even though no one has ever taught her how. Then love becomes part of the journey. Intense, consuming, and often complicated, it offers Callie the sense of belonging she has spent her life searching for. But as questions emerge about the circumstances surrounding her parents' deaths, Callie begins to understand that love cannot define her, save her, or make her whole. To uncover the truth and survive what follows, she must stop allowing others to control her story and become the person she was never given the freedom to be. Fly Away with Me is not simply a story about survival. It is a story about learning how to survive-and discovering that falling in love with someone else means very little if Callie never learns to love herself.Complete

Surrounded by dangerous secrets and hidden agendas, Clare must figure out who she can trust-and fast, because there's a war coming, and the last thing she wants is to become a weapon in the wrong hands.Complete
