Haven never expected to start receiving gifts twelve days before Christmas. They seemed to appear out of nowhere right when she needed them most. She wanted to figure out who was sending her these gifts, but the notes left with them didn't give anything away. Still, she went along with it because who didn't like free gifts? She couldn't pass up on the opportunity to get everything she ever wanted to make her life a little brighter as the dreadful Christmas season approached.

She couldn't say that she was excited for Christmas because she was excited. But there was a deep sense of dread in her heart the closer it came to Christmas, and she didn't exactly know why. Maybe it was for the memories that she didn't want to bring up about the anniversary. Or maybe it was because her sister couldn't stay quiet for one second about celebrating Christmas with their new best friends and neighbors, the Maddens. Either way, Haven had mixed feelings about the upcoming holidays, and her sister's cheery exterior was finally starting to get on her nerves. 

It seemed like that the person giving her very personal gifts understood what was going on in her head. It was like they could see into the darkest depths of her soul. Haven was pleasantly surprised that this person knew so much about her, knew what her heart truly wanted, and she wanted to thank them for the good they were doing to her. But how could she when she had no idea who was doing it?

The thing was, Jake Madden was acting strange around her. She didn't think it could be him, but there was a small part of her that wished it was him. Ever since he moved into the house next door, she couldn't help but develop a little crush on him. 

When things come to a head, will Haven be able to figure out who is giving her the gifts? Or will she be too late to figure it out? In the twelve days leading up to Christmas, Haven will have choices that will affect her life and her happiness forever.

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

It's also very tiring, and from time to time hurts Like Hell. If loving someone who could never love you back was a skill, I'd have mastered it Which is why I've made myself this promise that If ever I was in the position to find myself falling in love again, the candidate I've fallen for needs to love me back, needs to want me back And if not..... There's no compromise, I won't break my promise, I won't fall in love if I'm not sure if he could love me back. So if there's a slight possibility that I do fall.....No scratch that He needs to fall in love with me. Amber Lincoln a 22 year old student who has never been in a relationship till present day, aims to change that, soon.

And a boy who might possibly never want her, whom she might be infatuated with despite promising herself that she wouldnt fall for someone who didnt undoubtedly want her, so she'll spend her time convincing herself that shes not interested in him At least until she convinces him that she is the ultimate love of his life This definitely feels like Amber's year
