Book Description
ALWAYS WANTED (BOOK 1) If someone were to have told me a year ago, that by the end of this year I was going to break up with Ben my boyfriend of five years and leave my family home to move to a different city to start a new life, I’d have told them they were crazy. There was no way something like that could happen....ever! It did happen. Twenty two year old university drop out Marisa Gellys' relaxed lifestyle takes a turn for the worse when she arrives early at Kyle Matthews’ annual Halloween bash to find her boyfriend making out with another girl. Heartbroken she sets off to a brand new city to get away from her family who think she’s made the biggest mistake of her life by breaking up with Ben. For the first time in her life, Marisa’s doing everything on her own and she loves it. A brand new city, a brand (sort of) new job, and a hunky, dreamy late night customer who shows her the kinds of things he likes to do. Welcome to the ride. This year will be nothing like last year. WANTED ALWAYS (BOOK 2) I never said I was perfect.....but damn it, I really did it this time! I fell for his ways again! And the award for dumbest girl in the world goes to.....ME! Again! Twenty two year old Marisa Gellys thought the weekend of her father's 50th birthday party was going to be quick and easy. She couldn't have been more wrong. All thanks to a certain blue-eyed gorgeous...menace, also known as Xander Barns. Her dad's birthday would have to take a back seat, because Xander Barns has his own plans for this weekend and whether Marisa wants to or not, she's about to become a huge part of it. Because Xander Barns always gets what he wants. CALLING FOREVER (BOOK 3) If someone were to have told me right after waking up and finding Xander’s surprise last Saturday, that at the end of this crazy weekend I’d be accepting a position as his Personal Assistant, I’d have laughed and told them they were crazy. It did happen. Who’s crazy now? ME! Marisa Gellys should have erased Xander Barns from her memory as soon as she stepped foot on her train back home. She did no such thing, in fact after being offered a job that included amazing pay and out of this world perks, she was now the king of trouble’s A.K.A Xander Barns’ Personal Assistant.

Book Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The alternate history first contact adventure Axiom's End is an extraordinary debut from Hugo finalist and video essayist Lindsay Ellis. Truth is a human right. It’s fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact. Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn’t spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and the government—and with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father’s leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him—until she learns just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades. Realizing the extent to which both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information as she can, and finds that the best way for her to uncover the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only human vessel of communication. Their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought she knew about being human—and could unleash a force more sinister than she ever imagined.
