Claire Valentine, AKA Cupid, is North Shore High School's personal matchmaker. She turns unrequited crushes into requited love and first dates into committed relationships. Claire's life is seemingly perfect. She has a mother she actually gets along with, even though she suspects her mother is hiding something from her. She's adored, respected, and has fun with her friends doing the job she loves.
But deep down she has tricked, lied and manipulated to get where she is today, and she has many secrets that, if revealed, would tear her school apart. And despite being a matchmaker, and the self-proclaimed "Queen of Love," she is unable to find love for herself. . . .
Enter Max Carter. He's your typical bad boy, strong, devilishly sexy, and he has a long criminal record and an even longer list of ex-girlfriends. He's the quarterback for the school football team, and popularity swathes him like glue. But, like Claire, Max too has a dark secret. A secret that could land him in prison if he gets caught.
Claire and Max have had a love/hate relationship since the second grade. But when Max asks Claire for help, she's tasked with an impossible job: finding him a serious, committed relationship. But as time goes on, Max realizes that the girl he wants is standing right in front of him, and Claire realizes Max just might be the one for her.
Then chaos erupts. All of Claire's precious secrets are exposed and half the student body, who once adored her, hate her guts. Then, as if things couldn't get worse, her mother's hidden world and Max's secret collide, and Claire ends up kidnapped for ransom. Claire has to fight for her life and freedom, or die trying.
A story about the power of love, and the price of greed. . . .

Love is his business, but he's seen how it can destroy lives and is determined not to fall himself.

But this gilded, cherub-bedecked dating agency isn't exactly what it seems . . . and it's about to turn Lila's entire world upside down. It turns out that Cupids Matchmaking is the real deal. As in, it's run by actual cupids―who don't look at all like they do in the paintings―and they have a serious problem with Lila's "match." Because this guy shouldn't be in the system. He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her. Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .Завершенная история

It Started With Hello
***** Emma Pear knew she wasn't the most popular girl in high school. Her nose was usually buried in a textbook, and her grades were as spotless as her reputation for always following the rules. "Nerd" was a label she'd long since embraced. Her parents, determined to keep her on the straight and narrow, packed her schedule with violin lessons, shifts at the local animal shelter, and tutoring sessions for elementary school kids. Emma barely had time to breathe, let alone experience "normal" teenage rites of passage like parties, late-night hangouts, or even just goofing off with friends. So when the captain of the football team-the captain-unexpectedly asked her to the school dance, Emma saw a glimmer of a different life. She practically begged her parents, and to her shock, they actually said yes. She had no idea that one night, under the glittering lights of the gym, would rewrite her entire story. Blake Black was the kind of high school loner who radiated an almost magnetic quiet. Girls whispered about him in the halls, drawn to his mysterious aura and the fact that he rarely spoke to anyone. Most of his time was spent wrangling his hyper little brother, Alex. Their parents, a brain surgeon and a heart doctor, were perpetually busy, leaving little time for their growing boys. His parents made it clear attending the school dance wasn't optional. They just wanted him to "act like a normal high schooler" for a few hours. Blake's plan was simple: show his face, then ditch the minute he decently could. He brushed off a parade of hopeful girls, already counting down the minutes until he could escape. But then he saw what happened to Emma. And unlike everyone else, he couldn't just stand by and watch.Завершенная история
