"Why are you holding Mrs. Cuddly?"
His eyes narrowed into slits and his gaze slid to the teddy in my hands, "Why are you holding Mr. Softie?"

When Holly moved to a new foster home, she definitely did not expect to end up living next to the most awful neighbor that ever existed, Logan Chamberlin.
Arrogant, invasive, egoistical, annoying and a womanizer- nothing could turn much worse.
Except the fact that it did turn so much worse.
Who would have expected that such a guy like him would secretly tuck the beloved Mr. Softie under his duvet every night?
Since things were getting pretty bland, fate decided to spice it up a bit. The day that Holly found herself staring out of her window and right into Logan's room, she found her life-long partner, Mrs. Cuddly, sitting comfortably on his bed. So what does she do?
She sneaks in, of course!
It wasn't that spicy though, so another twist was made- a really horrible twist. She took the wrong teddy bear. Oh yes, things are about to get very interesting. :)
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
