SHATTERED SOUL
Hellish Nightmare.
If Seth Bradson were to describe his life, those would be the two words he would choose. Preferring to cope with his crappy existence and horrible home life by spending his days in a drug-induced haze, Seth coasts through life. Until the moment his path crosses with Ali Carson. In her, Seth finds something he's been subconsciously seeking -- a new drug, one that consumes his mind unlike any other.
Love.
But when Seth finds himself in a situation he could have never foreseen, and foolishly allows Ali to try his most addictive temptation -- crystal meth -- the unraveling of both their lives occurs before his very eyes, forcing Seth to learn the definition of the word regret the hard way.

EXHALE
Inhaling in life is easy. It's the exhaling -- the letting go -- that's the hard part.
Katie Elliot has always known the Conner twins. For years she secretly pined after one, while playfully averting the advances of the other. Once upon a time, she was fine with that. Then came the moment when her twin of preference kissed her and changed everything.
As if realizing love can be complex -- even when it's reciprocated -- isn't hard enough, tragedy strikes, tearing Katie and the boy she's always desired apart. Finding herself torn between love and guilt, Katie must learn when it's acceptable to let go -- when it's finally okay to exhale.

THE UNLOVED
Sometimes the love our heart needs to heal can be found in the familiar eyes of a childhood friend...

Julie Porter learned the hard way that trust is something which must be earned and not something to be given out lightly, those who say they love you are those who hold the power to hurt you most, and best friends can help you survive anything -- until they move away.
Nick Owen knows a thing or two about a hard life. At a young age Nick learned how to take a hit and to make lemonade out of the lemons life tossed his way. Returning home after nearly two years of being away, all Nick cares about now is protecting his mom from the abusive hands of his father and catching up with his best friend -- the girl who lived across the street, the girl he can't seem to stop thinking about.
Finally reunited after two years apart, Nick and Julie are about to learn that age does nothing to protect you from life's trials and tribulations, heartache and loss, but maybe together they'll find a way to survive.
