Jayme était morte. Je ne lui avais jamais demandé ce qui l’avait fait craquer cette nuit-là. Pourquoi elle avait tant eu besoin que je la prenne dans mes bras. Et je me haïssais tous les jours de ne pas l’avoir découvert. J’avais fait le serment de ne plus jamais reproduire cette erreur.

Bully and victim.

Tormenter and tormented.

Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.

And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.

Maggie Young had the market on normal. Normal friends, normal parents, normal grades...normal life.

Until him.

Clayton Reed was running from his past and an army of personal demons that threatened to take him down. He never thought he had a chance at happiness.

Until her.

Maggie thought their love could overcome anything. Clay thought she was all he needed to fix his messy life.

That together, they could face the world.

But the darkness is always waiting.

Sometimes the greatest obstacle to true love is within yourself.

"Who gives a damn about their reputation? Oh, that would be me! Especially since mine had gone straight to hell in the span of thirty minutes".

Maysie Ardin is soaking up the summer before her junior year of college, shopping, hanging by the pool and shopping some more. But when her black belt in spending lands her in trouble with her parents, she is forced to take a second job at a local bar to dig herself out of a deep financial pit.

She thought she’d be miserable. But then Maysie didn’t count on Jordan Levitt, the hot, pierced and tattooed, drum playing bartender who also happens to be very interested in her. And the feelings are totally mutual.

It had the makings of the perfect romantic set up. Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy has girlfriend? Okay, maybe not.

But attraction is a hard thing to ignore and soon Jordan and Maysie find themselves in the middle of a gossip induced firestorm. Maysie has to learn whether she can set aside her fear of public disapproval in order to be with the one she wants. Or will she let the opinions of others dictate her life and her heart?

“His presence was electric. The tiny pulses of excitement made her shiver inside. But so did the fear. The feelings were almost indistinguishable…yet completely irresistible.”

Emily Hilbright's life is toxic. The negative threads curling around and strangling her. The nights of fear, the days of depression, the frantic struggle to stay sane. Her conscious world was consumed with the most basic need to survive. If her mother's abusive hand didn't break her, the nightmares would.

But what about him? The boy in her dreams that had turned her world upside down. Was he her savior or her tormentor? Did it even matter? Because she knew she loved him. Needed him. His presence a taunting tease that was as maddening as it was helpless...for the simple reason that he existed only in Emily's mind.

Or did he?

Good and evil play out in a distorted landscape where dreams and reality clash and sanity and madness are impossible to tell apart. What is Emily left with when her world crashes down around her and the new love she has discovered is ultimately her killer?

Irresistible Fear is the first book in The Redeeming Trilogy...the dark story of a girl, a boy, and a love that could destroy them both.

You may notice me, but you will never know me.

I prefer it that way.

I am the daughter of a monster.

Born from blood and lies.

Dead before I have truly lived.

But Elian tells me that I'm different.

He tells me that I'm beautiful.

That I'm an enigma wrapped in irresistibly complicated skin.

Elian says that he loves me.

These words terrify me.

I can't trust love.

Or hope.

Or truth.

Because I fear the beast inside.

It threatens to drown Elian and his sweet, unconditional love.

It's a beast that will destroy everything.

Corin a vingt-cinq ans, une boutique qui marche bien et… une peur panique de mourir jeune. Chaque semaine lui apporte son nouveau lot de symptômes plus inquiétants les uns que les autres, jusqu’au jour où, persuadée d’avoir un problème cardiaque, elle intègre un groupe de soutien. C’est là qu’elle rencontre Beckett.

Beckett dont le cœur s’est arrêté un beau matin. Trois minutes. Trois minuscules minutes qui ont changé sa vie à jamais. Finis le saut à l’élastique, les matchs de foot endiablés et les voyages au bout du monde. Désormais, il est malade.

Mais, quand le destin projette ces deux âmes blessées l’une contre l’autre, c’est peut-être leur chance de réapprendre à vivre… et à aimer ?

Une bouleversante histoire d’amour et d’espoir.

In this pulse-pounding novel from the bestselling author of Butterfly Dreams, a vigilante hacker plays a seductive game with the agent who’s chasing her online—and sharing her bed in real life.

At first glance, I’m nothing out of the ordinary. I am a daughter. A sister. A friend. When you look at me you won’t see anything that warrants suspicion. I don’t look like a criminal.

My name is Hannah Whalen, but most people know me as freed0mov3rdr1v3, or “Freedom Overdrive”—one of the world’s most prolific and notorious hacktivists. My goal—my purpose—is to shed light on the evil that lurks behind the corporate and government lies we have been force-fed for too long.

My story begins with the best possible intention. Devoting my life to exposing the corrupt. The dishonest. The unethical. For that, they label me a cyber-terrorist. Wanted by the FBI, I’ve always been one step ahead.

Until I fell in love.

Because I’m sleeping with the man who’s hunting me. And he has no idea that I am his prey. Now I have to decide what’s more important: my freedom or my heart.
