Summary
Remus Lupin is an expert at keeping secrets (particularly a big, furry one that pops out to say "Hello" on the full moon). He spent most of his childhood alone until last year, when he fell into company that's the best kind of disreputable. Since then, he's traveled in a pack consisting of James, the a-little-too-fearless leader, Sirius, who’s not very serious, and Peter, the loyal tagalong. His life is on a predictable, steady trajectory.
Enter Lydia Potter.
She's quiet, timid, and a bit odd. Unlike James, she keeps to the shadows. Remus can't figure out just what it is, but there’s something strangely familiar about her, like she’s seen the darker side of life, too. The more he encounters her, the more Remus begins to wonder... is there a part of her that's a little like him?
From book exchanges to late-night conversations, it's nice to have a friend... and if you're very lucky, one day, more.

Summary
Everything you heard about matters of heart and desire told you the same thing; love could lead to heartbreak at best and disastrous results at worst.
Yet, you were convinced that everyone was wrong. They had to be, because love was supposed to make everyone happier, no confusion or pain in sight.
Regardless of how naive it sounded, you were sure that you were ready to fall in love and lose yourself in the infamous bliss.
That assumption right there was a terrible mistake, though.
You were nowhere near ready.

Summary
In a state of despondence following the murder of his ex-wife, Aaron Hotchner is happy living life by his new rule; don't get close to anyone, and no one gets hurt.
All is going to plan until he meets his new neighbour, Elena Swan, who seems hell bent on injecting positivity in to his seemingly grey world.
His over-zealous neighbour is a cause for serious irritation, but Aaron soon discovers that Little Miss Sunshine might have a dark past of her own, one that is masked by overt enthusiasm and the need to see the world smile.

Summary
It’s been 6 months since you had been forced to work with Steve Harrington at the local bowling alley. He is impossibly stubborn, argumentative, lazy, and unfortunately, attractive. With his sharp tongue and soft lips, he keeps you on your toes and your jaw clenched. If he’s supposed to be your nemesis, why do you get butterflies when he touches you?
