Moments. Our lives are a collection of moments. Some utterly painful and full of yesterday's hurts. Some beautifully hopeful and full of tomorrow's promises. I’ve had many moments in my lifetime, moments that changed me, challenged me. Moments that scared me and engulfed me. However, the biggest ones—the most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones—all included him. I was ten years old when I lost my voice. A piece of me was stolen away, and the only person who could truly hear my silence was Brooks Griffin. He was the light during my dark days, the promise of tomorrow, until tragedy found him. Tragedy that eventually drowned him in a sea of memories. This is the story of a boy and girl who loved each other, but didn’t love themselves. A story of life and death. Of love and broken promises. Of moments. (Book Three in the Elements Series. Complete Standalone. Coming Fall 2016.)
Ashlyn Jennings è una studentessa modello. Ama follemente leggere, soprattutto i drammi di Shakespeare, dentro i quali, spesso, cerca risposte alle domande che la vita le pone. E adesso di punti interrogativi ne ha molti, dato che ha appena perso sua sorella gemella e, come se non fosse abbastanza, sua madre è caduta in una grave depressione. Ashlyn deve andare a vivere con suo padre e la sua nuova famiglia nel Wisconsin. La devasta anche solo l’idea di trascorrere l’ultimo anno di scuola lontana dai compagni di classe, ma non può che fare le valigie. In viaggio verso la sua nuova casa incontra per caso Daniel Daniels, un uomo distrutto. Lui ha subìto due grandi perdite nella sua vita e sta cercando di rimettersi in sesto. Pensa a tutto meno che a trovare l’amore, ma l’incontro con Ashlyn è qualcosa che va oltre le semplici leggi della chimica. Entrambi cercano di dimenticare quello che hanno provato quel giorno, finché non si “scontrano” a scuola, dove essere allieva e professore non facilita affatto le cose…
"Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time. But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for. I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too"--Amazon.
Liebe Leser*in, wir wissen nicht, wie lange es her ist, dass du das letzte Mal einen Liebesbrief bekommen hast. Vielleicht war es in der Schule von dem Jungen ein paar Tische weiter? Vielleicht war es erst gestern von jemandem, den du seit Jahren liebst - oder von jemandem, dem du noch nicht gesagt hast, was du für ihn empfindest. Wer auch immer es ist: Wir verstehen dich! In einer Zeit, in der man lernt, seine Gefühle zu verstecken, wenn es das Wichtigste ist, cool und emotional unerreichbar zu sein, in einer Zeit, in der zuzugeben, dass man Gefühle hat und verletzbar ist, als Schwäche ausgelegt wird - genau dann sind wir für dich da! Wir sind deine Verbündeten. Denn wir sind die Girls Who Feel Everything. Egal ob es der schönste, sonnigste Tag ist oder die dunkelste, trostloseste Nacht, in der es unmöglich scheint weiterzumachen - wir waren dort, wir haben es überlebt, und wir haben jede einzige Sekunde davon gefühlt. Und das ist unser Liebesbrief. An all die Gefühle, an alle tapferen Seelen, die auf ihr Herz hören und keine Angst davor haben, den anderen zu fragen, ob es ihm genauso geht. An die Liebe, die wir nur manchmal wagen zu teilen, und an die Liebe, die wir so oft geheim halten. An all den Schmerz, den die Liebe mit sich bringt, und an all das Glück, das sie so wertvoll macht. Und am allerwichtigsten: Liebe Leser*in - an dich! Diese Gedichte sind für dich. Love always, Brittainy und Kandi Gedichte und Gedanken über die Liebe, all den Schmerz, der sie beschwert, und all das Herzklopfen, das sie so wertvoll macht. - zweisprachige Ausgabe - Hardcover-Ausstattung - mit zahlreichen Illustrationen „Diese Gedichte sind wie Polaroidfotos von Momenten, die uns alle vereinen. Sie nehmen uns mit auf eine Reise, die das Leben schreibt, voller Stärke, Schmerz, Verlust und Glück.“ COMETS AND COMMENTS
HOW’S YOUR HEART TODAY? STILL BEATING Shay Gable hated my guts, and I hated hers, too. We went out of our way to avoid one another at all times. When she came my direction, I went the other. When we locked eyes, she’d turn and walk away. All of that changed the day I was presented with a challenge. It started out as a stupid bet: make Shay fall in love with me before I fell in love with her first. That was an easy bet for me to win. I didn’t love, I hardly liked. Yet slowly the game started to shift. Shay made me crave things I never knew I wanted. Love. Happiness. Her. The closer we grew, the more she challenged my darkness, and the parts I kept locked away. The hurts. The pains. The truth. The game between us became too real, our feelings intermixed, and the risks of hurting one another grew higher. But you know what they say... All’s fair in the game of love and war - especially the heartbreaks. »This enemies-to-lovers-romance was so emotionally charged and the characters left a huge imprint on my heart.« WRAPPED UP IN READING English edition of LANDON&SHAY.

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she was the high school queen and I was an awkward musician. We shared music and loneliness, but something in her eyes hinted at hidden sadness. Years later, we reunite in New Orleans, both changed by life’s hardships. I won’t let her go again; I’ve become her darkest storm.
I MISS YOUR HEARTBEATS. I MISS YOU. I MISS US Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy. A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles. People warned me against our love, but I didn’t listen. We looked weak. Young, foolish. Dangerously in love. We didn’t care. In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret. We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces. It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever. The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy. His career blossomed as mine stalled. He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures. He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true. We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together. In the fairy tales, love conquered all. In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall. I always knew Landon belonged in my story. He was my beginning, middle, and end. The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his. »Sad and heartbreaking and sad! This was the perfect ending to Landon and Shay’s story.« BJ’S BOOK BLOG English edition of LANDON&SHAY. PART TWO by SPIEGEL-bestselling author Brittainy Cherry in the popular LYX-Paperback-format
Graham Russell and I were mismatched: I was emotional, while he was indifferent. Despite our differences, we shared fleeting moments of connection where we glimpsed each other's secrets and fears. Though we struggled to love, I would choose to fall for him again, even knowing we might crash.
