Sometimes a crash is just what your heart needs. Cally accepted her fate as one of the guys until she meets Blake, a hot snowboarder who sees her for more than her aerials on the slopes. But when a twist of fate lands her in Blake’s school, the charismatic boy she fell for wants nothing to do with her, and when she finds out what Blake is hiding, she learns the rules on the slopes apply to more than just skiing.

The Trail Rules
There’s more to life than following the crowd. Junior year’s looking up for sixteen-year old Mike. Her new BFF isn’t a sadistic control freak, her boyfriend adores her, and she’s learning to bike in the mountains without decapitating herself on a tree. But she needs to decide if she’s going to continue to be a follower or step out of the shadows and find her own trail.
IndieReader: “The hilarious yet drama-fueled book follows one girl’s adventure into self-discovery and security, leading to a goose bump-inducing conclusion.”

BookLifePrize: “Mike’s story … shows that a change of heart is only the beginning step in understanding who you are.”
The Edge Rules
Being a bully isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Former mean girl Brianna had everything, but when she’s busted shoplifting, she ditches her shallow ways and discovers being herself is easier than manipulating people. Filled with life-changing decisions, way too much highway trash, and new friendships where you least expect them.
NYT best-selling author Amanda Hocking: “A thoroughly enjoyable, fast read. Brianna’s journey as a recovering mean girl [is] believable and compelling.”
BookLife Prize: “The places Brianna goes and the paces she is put through … lend this book an authentic feel with its own unique voice.”
YA Books Central: “A message that forgiveness is possible if you acknowledge the need to be forgiven.”
Sarah, Goodreads: “Melanie is truly a miracle worker. She not only created a very unlikable character, but then managed to turn her life around in spectacular and realistic ways.”
