In a post-apocalyptic world where civil war tears countries apart and savage rebels occupy the outlying woodlands, the only way to have guaranteed safety is to have either money, beauty, or power. And let me tell you, Jacqueline has it all... or rather her tycoon father has money, she has beauty, and her family name has power, but really what’s the difference?
For as long as she can remember, Jacqueline has been taught that she’s better than anyone beneath her, and up until her 18th birthday she believed it. That is until she’s suddenly snatched away from her lavish lifestyle, kidnapped by wild, painted rebels, and used as bargaining chip against her own family. She quickly realizes that the only way to stay alive is to change her name and pretend to be the person she most definitely isn’t.
It’s only when she truly sees through the mask of her glamorous high society, that she learns of a plot that could come to destroy everything that she’s come to love. It’s only then that Jacqueline realizes she must decide who’s side she’s truly on.

Thomas Curbs is poorer than poor, not to mention the fact that he’s a frequent shoplifter. He gets caught and knows that he cannot return to crime—it’s his mom’s reaction that gets to him. He realizes he needs to find money, and fast, through a legal means of income because frankly, he’s sick of being poor. With poverty hanging over his head, he also has to deal with the fact that he’s just started High School. But that could be good....couldn't it? In comes Renesmee Cullen. Beautiful, Intelligent, Rich. Thomas is drawn to this attractive beauty and finds there’s more than meets the eye.

The Quiet Ones
"Don't go outside after dark." This was a well-established rule in the whole community. After dark, groups of rebels emerged onto the streets of town and vandalized everything in their sight. Parker Reynolds knew this, she knew this rule almost too well. It's one that was embedded into her mind since the age of three. Although joining a group can mean getting arrested, being charged with multiple accounts of vandalism, and left with paying fines until the age of a hundred, it's also a risk some are willing to take. Parker's not one to live on the wild side, but she's at the point where she'll do anything if it means giving her a more popular social status. Besides, who would want to have the same title of uptight, or afraid-to-take-chances for the past eleven years? But what happens when Parker becomes too committed to the group, and finds herself stuck in a situation that's much too hard to get out of? Or at least, get out of without consequences?Completa
