    Posted In middle school, words aren’t just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever.

    When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes—though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

    In the middle of this, a new girl named Rose arrives at school and sits at Frost’s lunch table. Rose is not like anyone else at Branton Middle School, and it’s clear that the close circle of friends Frost has made for himself won’t easily hold another. As the sticky-note war escalates, and the pressure to choose sides mounts, Frost soon realizes that after this year, nothing will ever be the same.

    Ramble: A West River Story He was the first boy I ever loved—and I mean capital L—Loved. I would have twirled around him in a cloud of rainbows and confetti, kissing small puppies and waving at the loveless girls still waiting for their princes for the rest of my life if he’d let me.
    But he didn’t.

    Isn’t that how these things go? Girl loves boy, boy turns out to be a lying, stupid, dic—uh, dillhead who rips her heart out and hands it over to a four-year-old T-ball team for batting practice. But that was practically a lifetime ago. Well, six years ago, really. I’ve moved on. And that’s exactly what I have to keep reminding myself because now he’s back.

    Just waltzing through my town—my life—like barely any time has gone by. I’ll be damned if I just fall at his feet like nothing ever happened. He’s in for a rude awakening. The confetti cannons do not fire back up just because he decided to finally come home!

    I definitely won’t be noticing how good he looks. My rage and anger will overshadow the fact that my heart flutters like a traitorous hummingbird every time my name crosses his oh-so-stupid, oh-so-kissable lips.

    I definitely don’t care that he seems to be everywhere I turn and for some reason wants to spend time with me.

    And I definitely, and I mean definitely, won’t let my lust-fueled, sex-deprived brain take the wheel and steer me like a texting-while-driving teenager straight toward the same disastrous cliff I swan dived from years ago. I definitely won’t. Right?

    Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist Book 1) I preferred it when life came in tidy packages. When it didn’t — when something went awry — I was exceedingly skilled at packaging it back up. It was my job to do so after all. I was a reconstructionist. I collected the puzzle pieces, then I gave those pieces to an investigative team to sort out. I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t offer answers. I saw. I recorded. I moved on. I didn’t dwell or obsess. I didn’t hunt down suspects. I didn’t follow clues to find a killer. And I certainly didn’t work side by side with anyone. Least of all, a vampire who I strongly suspected might turn out to be the major missing component at the end of the trail. Then I saw something I couldn’t forget. It wasn’t the bloodiest thing I’d ever seen. It wasn’t even close. But it haunted me. I didn’t like being haunted. And I couldn’t figure out how to get it out of my head.

    Someone was killing teenaged boys in the Pacific Northwest. Despite my misgivings, if I could help catch a killer, I had to at least try.

Or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his kids into casualties.

Determined to see the abducted children set free, Phoebe not only gets Ian on board but insists on riding shotgun on his Mission: Impossible–style operation, whether he likes it or not.

    Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots, there’s no denying the intensely intimate feelings growing between Ian and Phoebe as the team gears up for combat. But these are feelings they both must fight to control as they face an array of cold-blooded adversaries, including a vindictive mob boss who’s got Ian at the top of his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as much as he loves money. As they dodge death squads and play lethal games of deception, Ian and Phoebe will do whatever it takes to save the innocent and vanquish the guilty—or die trying.
