High school isn’t kind to girls like me. I’m the one who freezes when the bullies close in. The one my brothers guard like I’ll break. The one who rattles off random facts to cover the silence, praying no one notices how small I feel. But when Maiken Maxwell transfers to our school, everything shifts. He doesn’t know my past or the cruel nickname everyone else whispers. He just looks at me like I matter—like maybe I’m worth standing tall for.

Liam and Samantha's grandparent's farm has always been a magical place it seems. Every visit is an endless adventure filled with imaginative and creative experiences, not to mention midnight hide and seek, hillside baseball competitions, and community kick-the-can games. But nothing could prepare them for the trip they take to the magical woods of Nelliah. After a raging storm, Liam and Samantha take refuge in a barn, only to learn they have been transported into another world.

Thirty years ago, two high school seniors competed for a trophy, a scholarship, and a girl. One of them ended up dead, and the other won all three treasures. Now, follow the story of Tori Clark, a girl haunted by the spirit of the murdered boy. Tori is asked to expose the murderer and bring justice to the 30-year-old cold case. But something unexpected happens along the way.

Christmas is not my favorite. Not since I lost my dad last year. The lights, the music, the happy people. Everything reminds me of him. And if he were around still, maybe he could get Chad to leave me alone. On top of all that, Mr. Walker had to give us this assignment to be a Secret Santa for someone, and you'll never guess who I got. Okay, you probably can, but can you blame me for not wanting to do the assignment? Except...Chad doesn't seem to be a bad guy when his friends aren't around. He might even be someone I could like.

Senior year was supposed to be perfect—Friday night games, late-night talks, and planning the future with Maiken Maxwell, the boy who already owns my heart. But one night changes everything. A party meant to celebrate our last summer together spirals out of control, leaving me grounded and my relationship with Maiken hanging by a thread.

Maiken Maxwell isn’t just the star of the basketball team. He’s the boy who makes my heart race with every smile, every kiss, every whispered word that I’m his. But dating him also paints a target on my back, and Tessa—the queen of mean—isn’t about to let me forget it. Now she’s challenged me to a showdown on the ice, and the whole school is watching. If I fall, I risk losing more than my pride. And with rumors that Maiken’s family might move away, I can’t shake the fear that our fragile first love could slip through my fingers.

Junior year should feel like a fresh start. Maiken Maxwell is mine, and for the first time I believe in us—really believe that what we have is worth holding on to. But when our relationship deepens and we start testing boundaries neither of us have crossed before, everything changes. Suddenly it’s not just about stolen kisses and whispered promises—it’s about trust, choices, and knowing how far is too far.
