    Summary

    After a disastrous blind date, Beatrice is desperate to stop her cousin Camila from meddling in her love life. So she tells Camila her date was a resounding success. She never expects the lie to come back to bite her in the ass.

    Ava Silva dreams of finding her soulmate, but after their train wreck date she knows it is not Beatrice. When new business partner Camila gushes about how happy she is that she and Beatrice hit it off, Ava is more than confused.

    Beatrice begs Ava to go along with it, and she reluctantly agrees to pretend they are dating. After all, there's no chance they will catch real feelings.

    But maybe opposites can attract when true love is written in the stars?

    Summary

    Beatrice stood a little taller, squaring her shoulders. “We skiff.”

    “That’s hot.”

    Though she didn’t laugh, Beatrice’s body relaxed, just a little. “It’s quite cold actually, especially in open waters.”

    “That’s not what I meant.”

    “I know it wasn’t, I was just ignoring you.” She gave Ava a small smile. “What about you, Miss America? Unless you’re the bouncy patriot who accidentally stumbled into Olympic hopeful territory?”

    Ava stood as tall as she could, not expecting to have to show off that particular night. “I am bouncy, and hopeful, but definitely not by accident.” She stuck her hand out, because she felt this draw to touch Beatrice again. “Ava Silva, defender for USA Women’s Soccer.”

    She took Ava’s hand tightly, a single eyebrow raised. “You’re a defender?”

    Summary

    There's a lot of blood that comes with dying.

    Of course, this feels like a given. Ava goes through the portal and she bleeds. Her wounds are open and vile, but they are glowing. Blue and sharded; as if destruction couldn't exist without beauty--

    OR:

    Ava comes back worse. Wrong. Beatrice proves her otherwise.

    Summary

    The orange and yellow leaves from the two gorgeous Red Oaks in the backyard fell to the ground in true autumn fashion. It was colder this year, a storm front had blown through just a few days before Halloween and threatened to upend all her decorations in the front yard.

    Her decorations, of course, began and ended with some spiderwebs and a plastic K-mart skeleton, but Ava did what she could.
