Never feel sad.

Never cry.

Never whimper. 

Never pout. 

Never disobey. 

Never retaliate. 

Never!

Never!

Never LOSE your SMILE! 

Olivia Sunshine Collins, an 8-year-old girl, lives under the oppressive rule of her stepfather, whom she calls "Master." Bound by an ironclad rule to never lose her smile, she forces herself to grin through the pain-cheeks burning, jaws trembling, and her eyes losing their light. But smiles can only hide so much. Behind the facade lies a shattered innocence, a poisoned mind, and a battered soul, all inflicted by the very person who vowed to protect her.

Until one day, everything changes. "Master" meets his end in a twist of fate-a fate more ironic than her name. For the first time, Olivia breaks free, her lips curling into a smile not of submission, but of defiance-dark, wicked, and satisfyingly her own.

WATTYS WINNER When her fiancé ends up in a coma and his secret mistress, Halley, shows up, Mary feels like her world is falling apart. What she doesn't realize is she's actually falling in love...with Halley. ***** Eight years after a traumatizing accident that killed one of her loved ones, Mary Kincaid is about to marry her childhood sweetheart when the universe yanks the rug out from under her yet again, leaving her fiancé badly injured and in a coma. Of course this is when his secret mistress shows up, a beautiful person whom Mary should by all rights hate - so why does she find herself inviting her to stay in the spare bedroom? She soon learns that sometimes the person you're looking for comes when you're not looking at all.
