It had always been the three of us, and then it was the two of us-Ed and August. There was not, nor had there ever been a chance of a Noah and August. And that was fine. Because the truth was I had known Noah forever but I still had no idea who he really was. Especially not now. In this sizzling novella, one girl must choose between loyalty and love. August had the two best guy friends a girl could ask for in Noah and Ed. Then Ed confessed he felt more for her - and their new relationship changed everything. She had hoped it would be Noah that she'd end up with someday, but it's clearer than ever that Noah's just not interested in being a one-girl guy. When the small seaplane the three of them are on crashes, August finds herself injured and marooned on an island with ... Noah. Unsure of what's become of Ed, August and Noah do their best to not lose hope as they fight to survive on an island that is not as deserted as they first believed. But fighting the elements - and their attraction to each other - becomes a losing battle. Soon, a secret from Noah's past that could bind them to the island forever is revealed, and August must choose between giving into her feelings for him, or struggling to make it back home.Complete

But one reckless kiss at a party changes everything. Suddenly, Nathaniel isn't just a name whispered in the hallways-he's looking at her like she's something new, something worth chasing. And Samuel? He's acting like the kiss was more than just a game, like it cracked something open between them that neither of them can put back together. Torn between a boy who's always been there and the one who's suddenly everywhere, Clara finds herself caught in the space between friendship and something more, between past and future, between two hearts pulling her in opposite directions. But the thing about love triangles? Someone always gets hurt.Complete
