"Winter has always appealed to me. I don't know why, but I have always loved all things cold and icy. There's something magical about a driveway covered by slick sheets of ice and porches lined row upon row of icicles dangling in deadly yet beautiful displays of winter's beauty."
As a student in Haven High School in Haven, Kansas, a tiny and very boring city in the very, very boring state of Kansas, Maxine Angeline knows she's different. Normal girls like things warm, fuzzy, cute, and very, very pink. She likes the opposite: cold, smooth, harsh, and dark, dark blue. She is the antithesis of girly-girl, and that isn't common in Haven.
But when startling realizations lead to spectacular discoveries, Maxine's world will forever change in ways that no one would have ever predicted. There is a dark power looming over the world, and only Maxine will be able to stop it. But first, she must accept this new her.

If she succeeds, she will see the sister she's lost again; if she fails, she will die, and her sister will be left to suffer In order to succeed, she must first infiltrate the school where Britannia turns the children of its most powerful families into its greatest commanders.

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.
