*Book One in the Every Other Memory Series* Elle Montgomery is a model daughter, student, sister, and friend with everything ahead of her. Her ambitious, A-type personality doesn't leave a lot of room for her to relax, and she struggles to find balance as life becomes more and more complicated. But when she finds herself drawn back to childhood friend and reluctant bad boy Greyson Pruitt, who she's loved longer than she can even remember, life as Elle knows it will never be the same - and neither will she. From the outside looking in, Greyson Pruitt has it all. A one way ticket to division one college hockey and fast track to the NHL, parents who are madly in love (emphasis on madly), and no shortage of girls who are interested in capturing his cautious heart. But no one can see his world crumbling around him as we watches his friend battle a potentially terminal illness, his sister move six thousand miles away, and his parents' unpredictable, rollercoaster relationship fracture. So when the girl he's looked out for all his life sees what no one else can, how is he supposed to say no to what she offers, what he's always wanted? The only thing standing in his way? The fear that his happiness will come at the expense of hers. Stay tuned!

The world has chewed up and spit out Eleanor Robinson again and again. It began with her parents, one taken by a tragedy, one addicted to horrific drugs, and a brother who's too boozed out to know if she's alive or dead. Alone in the world, Ellie isn't exactly sure of how life works, of how anything works, really. The only two people she has that even remotely understand are Sebastian and Scarlett, a pair of siblings that remind her so much of her own family, it's hard to be around them sometimes. When the trio finally move in together after being friends for almost three years, they end up closer than ever. But the move brings along another problem into Ellie's life. Cole Everett is a fighter. From the moment he was cast aside by his family, he's had to fight for scraps at the orphanage dinner table, fight for a spot in the light of his foster family's eyes, and fight for the love of his adoptive parents. It seemed like he never won when it came to personal battles, but in the ring... In the ring, he owned the world. Years and years of the world kicking Cole's ass has shaped him into the fighter Ellie and everyone else sees him as. But the world has also shaped Ellie, and the sweet, heavy-hearted girl paints on a façade that seems only Cole can break through. As the pair attempt to navigate a decent enough relationship to be in the same room as one another without going for the throat, the people around them float between blurred lines of friend or foe. Hearts clash, past enemies arise, and the pair's hearts hang in the balance of it all.
