Life In Colour

Killing the gray-eyed, dark haired boy across the street in her minuscule town was closure to Lacey Strauss that evening, even when she'd never killed anything in her life, even when her past was just a broken record of leaving, leaving, and left, even when the whole world seemed dead set on working against her. And it would've been achieved if her victim hadn't been Asher Malloy: an avid smoker and commissioned killer at seventeen, working for the regional drug lord alongside his amiable alcoholic of an older brother, Alex. Because when Asher turns the situation around and takes Lacey captive for five months, closure's a long time coming -- if she doesn't die first. SMOLDER tells of an intense and unlikely relationship between Lacey Strauss, an unstable teenager with violence in her blood, and Asher Malloy, a smoking, knife-throwing, incredibly cold and temperamental killer. But as tensions swell and fade between the two, anywhere from lethal hatred to headstrong intimacy, suddenly Asher finds himself valuing the very girl who tried to kill him while Lacey starts realizing the value of human life the more she must take it.

At sixteen, Journey Durant hasn't yet experienced her first anything. No first boyfriend. No first date. No first kiss. But, that's all about to change. Two boys at West Emerson High are vying for her attention: the MVP quarterback and the school's reigning bad boy. David Britton is the sensible choice. He's attractive, responsible, and every mother's dream-including hers. But David and Journey are from two different social universes where David is the sun in his, and Journey is a moon rock in hers. He's the most popular guy in school, and Journey is just background noise. She has a hard enough time accepting that he truly wants to be her friend, much less anything more. And then there's Steven Drake. Steven has dominated Journey's fantasy life for as long as she can remember. He has a short list of things he cares about and school, the future, and what anyone thinks of him aren't on it. Journey finds the element of rebellion he emanates to be intoxicating. But, as much as Steven excites her, she knows there's trouble down that road. So, who will be her first? Mr. Most Likely to Succeed or Mr. Most Likely to Go to Jail? ***To Be Her First is the prequel to The Bed She Made. Chronologically, this story happens first, but The Bed She Made is a standalone novel.***
