No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth. But when bad boy Noah Hutchins explodes into her life, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined.
Crossing The Line
Lila McCormick first met Lincoln Turner when tragedy struck both their lives. But she never expected their surprise encounter would lead to two years of exchanging letters-or that she'd fall for the boy she's only seen once.
DARE YOU TO
If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. But when Beth finds herself starting over at a school, she can't help but confide in the one person who shouldn't understand her, but inexplicably does-the town's golden boy, Ryan Stone.
Crash Into You
Rachel Young is the girl with straight A's and the perfect life...or at least that's what everyone expects her to be. No one knows about the two secrets she's keeping-racing her Mustang GT down dark country roads, and her relationship with Isaiah Walker, the street-racing kid with tattoos her family would never approve of.

Breaking the Rules
Part 1.5 of the Pushing the Limits (McGarry) series
A summer road trip changes everything...
For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so . . . different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who's never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything-except the one thing Echo's just not ready for.
But when the source of Echo's constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants-even as foster kid Noah's search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.
Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah's more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he'd be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn seriously epic.
