Two strangers. Two broken hearts. One night to set each other free. Almost dying from an undiagnosed heart condition means every second of your life is a precious gift to be guarded. Lena Pettitt was born a miracle. And her parents never let her forget it. Even if that daily reminder kept her from experiencing the one thing they were trying to protect most--her life. Gabriel Martinez's heart has been ripped out. His pride has been stomped on. Oh, and he now has an arrest record that's caused an even bigger rift between him and his DA mother. All for a love that wasn't really true. Now he's exiled to his grandmother's, working on his late grandpa's old Corvair, when a shivering girl knocks on the garage door. Lena, left alone for the first time ever, has locked herself out of her house. Gabe knows he could help this girl get back inside her house--but that may mean missing the next train to Boston to pick up the part he's spent eight weeks tracking down. She can wait for him at his grandmother's or... A few hours, an aluminum valve cover, and some strong coffee later, neither Gabe nor Lena can feign disappointment when they race to the station and arrive just as the last train home from Boston is pulling out. As jaded as he is, Gabe can't deny the fact that he's excited to spend the night exploring a city he knows nearly every corner of, with a girl who sees magic in the simplest things. Lena has been waiting for her tiny world to crack open her entire life. Now that it's finally happened, she finds the only thing she can focus on is the unexpected tour guide who opens her eyes to possibilities she never imagined. All they have is this one night, together, under the bright moon in a city full of hidden beauty. It's one night that will change how they see the world and the paths their hearts will take forever.

Freshly heartbroken and downright annoyed, Genevieve is also one 'D' away from getting kicked out of school. In other words, life could be better for the rowdy, youngest Rodriquez sibling. Her only hope of passing physics is her quiet, nerdy tutor, Adam. Adam isn't her type at all. He's too quiet, too polite, and he'd rather stare at lab charts than bother to notice the bustier top so sexy, it turned the head of every guy in a five-mile radius. When Adam tells Genevieve that he won't be back after winter break because his visa is about to expire, the words drop out of her spontaneous, heartbroken mouth before she has the time to think... “Marry me.” Thinking it's a joke, Adam gives Genevieve a firm no. But when the joke turns into something more, all bets are off and all limits are broken. Adam may not notice a perfect bustier, but he can't resist a good argument. And Genevieve has been arguing to get exactly what she wants her entire life.This is the third book in the LENGTHS companion series.

There's no way Lydia--oldest and most responsible of the tight-knit Rodriguez clan--is going to let her nosy family find out about the uncharacteristic work screw-up that landed her a paid suspension. To keep busy and avoid panic, she enrolls in a life enrichment class. The first guest speaker is a handsome artist with a wicked smile and eyes that melt right through her. Even the “ice princess” can't help but feel an immediate spark that lights her blood on fire. Isaac Ortiz is unquestionably the sexiest man Lydia has ever met. The talented son of a famous Spanish artist, he's constantly moving from one new glamorous city to another, working if and when the muse visits him. He also has a stare that makes Lydia's heart race and hands that look more than capable of making her scream with pleasure. She shouldn't be attracted to this free-spirit who makes all his own rules--but she is. There's just one hiccup....Isaac is nineteen. Lydia has lived her entire life firmly inside the box, and being with a younger man is definitely outside the safe confines she enjoys. So why can't she stay away from him? And why is she seriously considering his proposition to take off to a place she's never been...just because? When Lydia is invited back to work with a cleared name, she should be overjoyed. But the reality is, Lydia doesn't know what anchors her life anymore...or if she wants to be anchored at all. Should she travel the world with Isaac? Or continue down the road that she's worked long and hard to pave for herself? Choosing one means losing the other, and Lydia isn't sure if she's ready to drift with the current that's pulling her by the heart.

He remembers the disappointment he felt when Paloma left early, just when he was sure his bravery had paid off. 3. He remembers the room spinning and someone helping him up the stairs. 4. He remembers waking up next to Tarryn, a girl he barely knows, with his clothes on the floor. There's just one notable memory missing. Oliver doesn't remember saying yes. When Tarryn laughs off Oliver's panic and tells him he should take her out for breakfast, he doesn't say no. He stops himself from saying no to Tarryn for weeks because he's waiting for what never comes-an honest answer about what happened that night. With his friends shutting him out, and the rumors swirling, Oliver is turning into himself and just trying to make it through the rest of his senior year with his head down. But the one person that Oliver wants to hide the truth from more than himself, Paloma, is the one person who won't back down and accept his changed behavior. Oliver opening up to Paloma not only means facing what happened that night-it means airing a truth that could easily rip Paloma's world wide open, too.

A Postcard Would Be Nice

Eighteen-year-old Quinn MacPherson's biggest fear has always been turning out like her mentally unstable mother or cold-hearted father. That is, until she meets Benjamin Shaw.

But she quickly realises that, Ben is not just some guy. He gets her - the real her, flaws and all - and that scares the hell out of her. So when Ben does the unthinkable and tells Quinn he's in love with her, she does what comes naturally: she pushes him away, breaking his heart, before he can break hers. Ben isn't prepared to let go that easily, he knows that Quinn is something special, and he'll do whatever it takes to make sure they're together. But will he be able to persuade Quinn to open herself up and allow Ben in to her life… and her heart?
