When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can’t remember what it’s like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda’s biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly 'outbreak' begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can’t outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy, an enemy who no longer remembers what it’s like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you’d die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
Eden Anfield loves
puzzles, so when mysterious new boy Ryan Westland shows up at her school
she's hooked. On the face of it, he's a typical American teenager. So
why doesn't he recognise pizza? And how come he hasn't heard of Hitler?
What puzzles Eden the most, however, is the interest he's taking in her.
As Eden starts to fall in love with Ryan, she begins to unravel
his secret. Her breakthrough comes one rainy afternoon when she
stumbles across a book in Ryan's bedroom, a biography of her best
friend, written over fifty years in the future. Confronting Ryan, she
discovers that he is there with one unbelievably important purpose... And she might just have destroyed his only chance of success.
It was inevitable that the entire school would be talking about Ryan Westland, even sixteen year old Eden, but what she didn't expect was to capture his attention. Eden lives in Cornwell and dreams about her life being that from the pages of a novel, wanting to be brave, take risks and make a difference. Little does she know that she'll be given the opportunity to change the world.
After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek's counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else's family drama.
Ashtyn Parker knows one
thing for certain, people you care about leave without a backward
glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to
leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until
her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their
rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting
Derek, someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she
willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?
After yet another prank, Derek finds himself homeless. Regents Preparatory Academy are refusing to ignore his antics any longer, and Derek has been expelled and send packing back to his step mother Brandi. Derek's father remarried only eight months ago, after Derek lost his mother to cancer. Brandi, although spirited and kind hearted, already had her hands full with four year old Julian, and Derek's father has been deployed for six months. But when Brandi decides to move to Chicago to live with her family, Derek has no choice but to relocate.

All I want is my happily ever after.
That's all I've wanted since meeting Noah Miller.
From
the day we met, the world has tried to keep Noah and me from being
together, but now that I'm carrying his child, no one will be able to
tear us apart. Or so I hope. But Noah and I have made some mistakes
along the way, and the consequences are impacting the people we love.
Worse, there's a storm on the horizon, and it's sure to cause serious
devastation.
If we can get through this, we'll finally be Rose and Noah, a family, forever.
But first we have to survive the road ahead. And happily ever after is a long way off.
Now that Noah has cancelled his engagement to Constance, the small Amish community of Meadowview is left reeling. It's not the way of their people, and Noah fears that Elijah Schwartz will turn the community against his family. After giving into temptation, Rose is now pregnant and living back at home with her family. The feisty and passionate English girl was removed from her Amish foster parents by her father, seeing that Rose is only seventeen. Her father and brother Sam only want what's best for her, and that isn't Noah. Living within the Amish community will destroy her spirit, and neither will stand by and allow Rose to make that mistake again.
