No one stays the same forever. That's a lesson that Zoey Newman knew very well. After being falsely imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, Zoe comes out a different person. Someone who doesn't believe in happy endings and Prince Charming's. Forced to return to the place where it all started, Zoe must confront her past demons if she wants a chance to move on.
Thomas Morgan was just a regular brown-haired boy with a hidden smile. Seemingly ordinary, no one looked past his brooding personality to see that he might just be suffering too. When Thomas and Zoey meet each other by chance, they learn things that could change their lives forever.
With time, it may be possible for them to cure each others sadness. Maybe, just maybe, they'll realize that you don't have to fake happiness to survive. You just have to have the right person.

My Aching Solace
She isn't fine like she pretends to be. On the contrary. Liliana Storm Whitlock is shattered into a thousand pieces, used from the ones she loves, betrayed by the ones she loves, broken by the ones she loves. So she lost herself. And it all seems to go downhill after a crucial accident on a winter night. Additionally, her life takes a turn when she decides to leave her hometown, Hemfield, to start her new life at her University and finally enjoy the life she deserves. A fresh start is what she needed. Maybe she isn't the only one. The hockey team at the new university takes quite a keen interest in Liliana and won't seem to leave her at rest. Especially the most arrogant one of them all; Rhys Heartlow. He is nothing else than a jerk when they first meet, but somehow his cold heart seems to warm up to her just enough to make her fall for him. However, even if Liliana seems to find solace in her new life, her past continuously haunts her by tugging her back into old habits no matter how hard she tries to fight and ignore it. And perhaps she shouldn't have closed her eyes on the hints she got, because that would lead her into an icy road that is nothing less but deadly for her heart.
