Rhys Garrett—recent high school graduate, ex-captain of the basketball team, and my brother's rival both on and off the court. Oh, and he's also the guy I just hit with my truck. Awesome. To be fair, he had it coming. Why else was he dressed in all black, in the middle of the night, if not to hide out amongst the darkness?

We live in a world of darkness and shadows, where monsters hide and aim to ruin. And they did. They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares. But now we're back. And we're fighting. Not just for us or for each other but for our light.

When Mikayla imagined her prom night, she envisioned a fairy-tale evening full of romance. So when betrayal and tragedy come in quick succession, Mikayla is completely destroyed. Suddenly, everything she loved and everyone she relied on are tragically, irrevocably gone. Jake, a handsome boy she just met, happens to witness her loss. With no one to turn to, Mikayla is forced to depend on this near stranger and his family, and he in turn is determined to take care of her.

There are no more goodnight kisses. No knocks on windows. No lengthy text messages. No late-night phone calls. And no game day balloons. There's just Connor. And Ava. Existing in a world filled with nothing but heartache. While searching the darkness for glimmers of hope. Because with hope, comes magic. And magic is forever.

Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She's made a promise to herself: don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone love her. She's learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she's focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road--her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.

Ava Diaz needs saving. She just doesn't know it yet. Just like she doesn't know a thing about the boy she sits next to on the first day of senior year. He thinks she's a brat. She thinks he's entitled. Maybe first impressions don't always last . . . Because Connor Ledger's about to save her. He just doesn't know why.

There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. A heart so strong it will never slow. There is a promise so sure it can never lie. He promised me that love forever. Even when it wasn't enough.

I'm grateful he showed up on my doorstep, pissed off and angry at the world. If he hadn't, I wouldn't be here. And I don't just mean here on this journey with him. I mean here in this world.

They say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every choice you make there are rewards or consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get a choice, and all you get are the consequences. They say that being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Unless that someone is Logan Matthews.

Moving to the middle of nowhere right before my senior year wasn't ideal. Then again, neither was my brother dying. The move was supposed to be a fresh start. A new town, a new school, a new mindset. Too bad my past indiscretions followed me. Enter Jace Rivera, the literal boy next door. Jace is loved by the town. Admired by his peers. Worshipped by his teammates. On the basketball court, he's a god amongst men. Off the court, he's… nothing at all like I expected.

The first time you fall in love, it changes you forever. Trotz ihrer Zweifel hat Ava sich auf Connor eingelassen. Für einen kurzen Moment hat sie sich erlaubt, ein einziges Mal glücklich zu sein. Denn noch nie hat sie sich jemandem so nahe gefühlt wie Connor und noch nie hat sie jemandem so sehr ihr Herz geöffnet. Doch als die Realität sie eiskalt einholt, zersplittern Avas Träume in tausend Scherben. Und sie weiß, dass ihr nur eine Wahl bleibt: Sie muss Connor frei geben, damit er eine Zukunft haben kann.

The first time you fall in love, it changes you forever. Für immer. Ava steht kurz vor dem Highschoolabschluss und dennoch weiß sie schon jetzt, wie ihr Leben für immer aussehen wird. Aufopferungsvoll kümmert sie sich um ihre schwer traumatisierte Mutter. Und niemals würde Ava sie allein lassen. Als sie Connor begegnet, ist er der Erste, der sich nicht von Avas Schutzmauern einschüchtern lässt. Mit jeder Berührung zeigt er ihr, dass sie sich bei ihm fallen lassen kann. Doch Ava weiß, dass Connors "Für-Immer" nicht mit ihrem zu vereinen ist.
