Chasing Forever Down

All stability in sixteen-year-old Ridge McCoy’s life crashed and burned in the plane crash that killed his dad. This summer-long basketball camp is his chance to improve his skills and escape his problems back home. But his summer plans take a turn in an unexpected direction when he meets Micah Youngblood, the guy who runs the carousel at the local mall and has a reputation for devouring straight boys’ heterosexuality for breakfast, alongside his chocolate chip pancakes. Ridge needs a way to avoid the guys at camp, whose only quest for the summer is to drown in beer and hook up with girls. So when Micah offers to explain how the ten unique horses on the carousel are significant to his tribe, Ridge takes him up on it. Still, Ridge can't decide if this is a bad thing or not. All he knows is that he hasn’t felt this alive since his dad fell from the sky, and as the horse adventures come to an end, Ridge finds himself falling as well – for Micah.

With You Around

Eighteen-year-old Haven doesn’t remember life before the Surge. Before electricity was zapped to near non-existence. Before families sold their children and big cities became ghost towns. Before she met her best friend Cricket, the 6’10” boy she rescued from a freak show. After spending a year as the McCall circus’s star dancer, Haven is blindsided when her employer sells her to a brothel. Refusing to be sold into prostitution, she hatches an escape plan, but after her final show, she and Cricket are interrupted mid-escape by an intoxicated assassin named Breck. He is everything Haven fears about the outside world - dangerous, cold, and yet incredibly charming. But Breck’s arrival ends with a trail of blood and their faces plastered on WANTED posters. Haven agrees to leave under his protection on one condition - Cricket goes too - and because Breck can’t fight his burning infatuation with Haven, he agrees. Hopping trains and hiding out in a misfit circus wasn’t the life she’d envisioned, but as Breck’s hard exterior softens and Cricket’s smile is no longer painted, Haven finally realizes how badly she wants to be free and in control of her own life. With the brothel and McCall’s investors closing in on them, Haven must fight for what she wants - but the price for freedom is greater than she ever imagined.

Three Words Cursed

When an attempt is made on the lives of Canadian boy band, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The Branson sisters are preparing for a summer of beach vacations, pool parties, and festivals. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their secret-service-agent dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house. Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but teens Chloe and Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes. But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.​ (Author’s note: This book was previously published as American Girl on Saturn under the author’s maiden name, Nikki Godwin.)

Before You Go

Nowhere on Aralie Branson’s summer agenda did it say she would be hiding the most famous boy band in the world, Spaceships Around Saturn, in her house. But since her dad’s impromptu offer to hide the band after a shooting, that’s exactly what she’s doing. Instead of pool parties and punk rock concerts, she’s spending her days at war with the band’s “bad boy,” Julian Rossi. He’s everything she hates about the music industry with his lame piercing, lack of tattoos, and fake black hair. But even with their laundry fights and screamed profanities, Jules is intrigued about the girl behind the black nail polish and zombie activism posters. And while Aralie would never say the words out loud, she’s a little curious about the wannabe bad boy too. In this retelling of Starlight, experience the other side of lockdown from Aralie’s point of view!
