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. Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all--everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls.

There''s a single defining moment within every skater. It lasts only a second. Two if you''re good. Three if you''re really good. It''s the moment you''re in the air, your board somewhere beneath you, and nothing but wind surrounds you. It''s the feeling of being airborne. The sixteen-year-old version of me would''ve said it was the greatest feeling in the world. Then at seventeen, I had my son. And every single second became a defining moment. Even the ones that consisted of heartbreak when his mother left us. Seventeen. Single. Dad. That''s what my life became. Yet, every day, I managed to find that feeling of being airborne. Or at least I convinced myself I did. But I lied-to myself and to everyone around me. Until she showed up; Tanned skin, raven dark hair, and eyes the color of emeralds. You know what sucks about being in the air? Coming down from the high. Sometimes you land on the board and nail the trick. Then kick, push, and coast away. Other times you fall. You fall hard. And those are the times when it''s not as easy to get back up, dust off your pads and try again. Especially when the girl with the emerald eyes becomes your drug... And you become her poison.

It''s the same old story, really. Good versus evil. Heroes versus villains. Light versus dark. For two years, college freshman Noah Morgan lived his life somewhere in the middle, fighting darkness and light, always searching for answers to a single question: Why, Noah, why? The same three words keep him up at night, struggling for air while gripping a plastic cylinder containing white pills to match the white label with his name printed in ink as deep and dark as his memories-memories that turned him into a recluse. A shut-in. An introvert. Luckily for him, that''s not how the girl next door sees him.

In a sprint, every millisecond counts. When you''re waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons. High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends.

Lois "Laney" Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven. A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage. It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love. Eight life-changing seconds. It''s also the exact length of time it took to lose her."

Some villains are made.Some villains are born. And some villains aren''t villains at all. Nate DeLuca was born into a life he didn''t want.Forced to walk a path that was already chosen for him. Grandson to a mob boss, he''s forever torn between his duty, his honor, his legacy, and the truth. But the truth is never simple, and it''s not at all what it seems.

And that destruction might cost him his heart.***Three Lives. Two Loves.One ticking time bomb...Tick tock.

Two simple words hold the truth of our love: wait and hope. Olivia 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? Rhys I wasn''t looking where I was going or what was around me. I didn''t even see the headlights. Just felt the impact. And I thought, as strange as it was, that getting hit by a car may be the best thing that could''ve happened to me. Until I opened my eyes... ...and she told me her name. *** Some might call it fate, destiny, kismet... A collision of souls. One night. One chance encounter. The problem? One night wasn''t enough. But the more time we spent together, the more truths came to light. And soon, we''d discover that what we once thought was meant to be... ...is not made to last.

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.

They could''ve been perfect. In another time. Another world. Where his wasn''t falling apart. And hers wasn''t already in pieces. - High school senior Holden Eastwood only has one fear in life: growing up. He spends his days unmotivated, moving from one game to the next, searching for his next challenge. He never expected that challenge to come in the form of a girl... A girl with zero fashion sense, a filthy mouth, and a bullsh*t attitude. Unlike Holden, Jameson Taylor had no choice but to grow up. Neglected, isolated, and forced to raise herself, Jameson only has one goal in life: graduate and move on. The last thing she needs is some guy she can''t stand suddenly declaring her as his new hobby. Their lives couldn''t be more opposite. Their pasts a complete paradox. But in each other, they find the unexpected... They find solace. Fragments of forever... A forever that might tear them to pieces.

One life-changing summer. One boy. The boy. The boy who offered me safe touches and heart-stopping smiles - smiles he shared with his son. We filled our days with porch-step kisses, filled our ears with laughter, filled our hearts with love. Deep, soul-aching, desperate love. But love is misleading. It''s an invisible, fleeting moment. Somewhere between false adoration and pure hatred comes an emotion, a vulnerable need, a single desire. It lives within the ones who miss it, who crave it, who know better than to expect it. Love is relentless. Even when that love turns to hate, turns to loathing, turns to pain. Love should heal you. But it can also break you. Believe me, I know... Because I''m Becca Owens - a broken girl... ...And he''s Josh Warden - the boy who broke me.

It''s said that your life flashes before your eyes when you die. It must only happen to those whose lives were worthy. Clearly, mine was not. The only thing that happened to me was a repeat of what I thought was my death. The blast of the gun as it went off. The loss of my breath as two hundred pounds of dead weight dropped on top of me. And then darkness. This replayed over and over. When the guy squatted down next to me and asked if I was hurt, the only thing I could see, feel, hear, were those few seconds. Even now, as I sat in the back of a blacked out van-it was the only thing that ran through my mind. Gunshot, breath, darkness.
