*A standalone novel set in the world of St. Mary''s**INCLUDES the prequel, The Wild Mustang & The Dancing FairyTwo years ago, Reed Jackson betrayed Calliope Thorne and broke her heart. So she stole his most prized possession - a white mustang - and drove it into the lake for revenge.Now, Callie is stuck at a reform school while Reed is off at college, living his life without repercussions.Until he comes back.With him comes back all the feelings that Callie has been trying to bury: anger and heartbreak.But most of all, desire.At the sight of his beautiful but lying lips and his gunmetal gray eyes that still taunt and smolder when he looks at her.Whatever though. It''s not as if Callie is ever going to fall for her ex-boyfriend again. Or let him corner her in a bar one night and touch her, kiss her...Neither is she going to kiss him back. Or worse, sleep with him.Because that would make her naïve and foolish.Oh, and also pregnant.And there''s no way Callie is ever going to get pregnant at eighteen and with Reed''s baby, no less. The guy she hates.The guy who taught her all about heartbreak.Who might look like a gorgeous hero but really is the villain of her story.

Eighteen-year-old, Bronwyn Littleton is in love with a stranger she met on a summer night a year ago.A stranger who was tall and broad in a way that made her feel safe. He had dark blue eyes that she can''t stop drawing in her sketch book. And he had a deep, soothing voice that she can''t stop hearing in her dreams.That''s all she knows about him though.Until she runs into him again. At St. Mary''s School for Troubled Teenagers - an all girls reform school - where she''s trapped because of a little crime she committed in the name of her art.Now she knows that her dream man has a name: Conrad Thorne.She knows that his eyes are way bluer and way more beautiful than she thought. And that his face is an artist''s wonderland.But she also knows that Conrad is her best friend''s older brother. Which means he''s completely off-limits. Not to mention, he''s the new soccer coach, which makes him off-limits times two. What makes him off-limits times three however, and this whole scenario an epic tragedy, is that, Conrad, Wyn''s dream man, has a dream girl of his own.And he''s as much in love with his dream girl as Wyn is in love with him...NOTE: This is a STANDALONE set in the world of St. Mary''s.

It's been nearly seven thousand days since the world ended. Seven thousand days of devastation, seven thousand days of shifting wastelands and dangerous creatures, seven thousand days of a vicious fight for survival. Humanity has long gone silent, except for two voices.Lota's broadcast has served as the sole beacon in this time of darkness for years now, and she reports on everything from daily events to her own deepest fears in the hopes of connecting with another person. But these hopes begin to dwindle as time goes on, and it becomes increasingly evident that solitary survival under these conditions is unlikely at best.Rachel, meanwhile, lives on her own in the empty shell of her family's former home and place of work, a laboratory across the ocean, doing anything she can to get by. But when a mysterious disease ravages Rachel's crops and the ghosts of her past come back to haunt her, it becomes increasingly evident that she needs to leave. She has nowhere to go, however, until one night, the impossible happens: she uncovers Lota's broadcast.Then it becomes a race for them to beat the odds-to cross an ocean and hundreds of miles of radioactive land, outrun superhuman mutations and monsters of every kind, not to mention braving the elements-and for two of the last people on earth to find each other.
