When Elizabeth Amelia Ross was ten years old, there had been an accident. That accident cost her the most important person in her life; her father. Even well before that dreadful day at the track, her mother had never liked her. The accident had only made it worse. Her mother blamed her for her father's death, and she never failed to remind her of the fact. For a while, Elizabeth had believed what her mother had been feeding her. But as she got older, she began to delve deeper into the crash that had killed her father. It turned out, that it hadn't been her fault after all.
After figuring out that it was, in fact, not her fault, she stopped caring when it came to anything that her mother said. She didn't give a shit about what she thought either. As soon as she could, Elizabeth got out of that house, away from her mother, and moved to Pine Creek. Not only emancipating herself, but changing her name to Raven; the nickname that her father had used for her. The only problem was, even with working her two jobs, it wasn't enough to pay her rent. So, kicked out from yet another apartment, she was left with no choice but to go back to her hometown.
Autumn's Grove, the town that she had thought she was done with, was where her younger sister lived with her childhood best friend. Raven's only hope was to get her sister to let her stay, temporarily, at her house. She only really needed to stay until her twenty-first birthday, when she would get the trust fund her father had left behind. She only has two problems. Cara is her mother's favoured daughter, so running into her was inevitable. And then there was Arwyn, Cara's best friend's older brother. He seemed to always be around. And no matter how much Raven tried to resist, he was relentless. Intrigued by her.
Will Raven and her mother finally settle things?
Will Raven find out who caused the crash?
And will Raven finally have her walls broken down?
There's only one way to find out . . . join her on her journey.
Becca Adams has a plan:-
1) Survive Senior Year with as little drama as possible - so far that was working
2) Ensure that her mother remains alive
3) Graduate
When her father died three years ago, Becca was forced to grow up, quickly. Her mother had a nervous breakdown and now acts like she's the teenager. But other than having to take care of her adult mother her life was going just as she had planned. She craved the stability and control that her planning gave her. So much of her life she felt like she had no control over things so she left nothing to chance.
So what happens when a stupid school assignment puts her in close proximity with Jack O'Connor one of the hottest guys at her school?
Becca knows Jack, he's a playboy. And she knows this because she lives in the same apartment building she does and sees the bevy of girls he parades around. Nothing good can come from this and she is determined to keep her distance from a boy who may just break her into un-fixable pieces this time. But the more Becca tells him that she wants nothing to do with him the more intrigued he is with her.
