Meadow Winslow has spent her life on the sidelines-observing, learning, enduring. Being mute in a world that never slows down for her has made her tough, but it's also made her careful. Careful about who she lets in, careful about the fights she picks, careful about the secrets she keeps.
But then there's Atlas Linden. Mysterious, brooding, and way too good at pretending she doesn't exist. What started as an unexpected connection between them shattered the night Meadow found him in the last place she ever expected.
Atlas thought he could stay away. He thought he could keep her safe by keeping her out of his world. But when Meadow finally stops waiting for him to let her in he realizes that silence has never been his ally.
Because some echoes are too loud to ignore. And some people are impossible to forget.

She feels that the only thing left to do is to end her life.....Then she meets the 'badboy' of the school, Ryker.

He doesn't care about popularity and thinks it's amusing more than ever to see the girls want him. He tries to mind his own business and isn't interested in getting too attached and involved with anyone. So he just messes around. That is, until he meets the new girl who immediately draws his attention and makes him instantly intrigued. It's hard for him to trust anyone other than his close friends and she doesn't trust anybody, including guys. Can they help each other out? Can he help save her from herself?

Dawn is the home town good girl with a spunky attitude and compassionate heart. So much like her father and struggling with the estranged relationship with her mother, her life is about to be turned upside down. With only her loyal friends and family to rely on, she will be pushed to the breaking point. Nathan, the resident bad-boy, returns home in a unique arrangement that forces him to build up his defensive walls. A violent past he has been trying to lock away, comes back to haunt him and threatens to break apart everything he has worked for. What happens when these two fiery personalities meet? They hate each other – at first. They have a way of pushing each others' buttons and getting under each others' skins. They each think the other is conceited and selfish. Then they confuse each other with small acts of kindness and unexpected moments of affection. These moments are dashed away by their antagonism, stubbornness and pride. They are falling in love, but neither will see it if they can't get past their own selfish attitudes and personal demons. Only time will tell if they can reach out from under the surface and find the love that brings out the best and worst in each other. © 2012 Amanda Nichols All Rights Reserved.Complete
