  It’s the classic story—boy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind. 
  Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldn’t have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football. 
  I figure it’s a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his family’s ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again. 
  Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls I’ve built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my son’s too. 
  Because I promised myself a long time ago that I’d never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.

  A mortal love, 
  An eternal life. 
  Lily doesn’t remember her death, or even her reawakening, but she knows this: the sun is to be feared, words are her salvation, and—above all—the bench facing the playground is hers. 
  Every night, she writes stories about the broken and abandoned things she finds littering the park. As the decades pass and the city skyline grows, her body remains immortal and unchanged… even as her mind decays. She is the pin holding the hands of the clock, fixed and entirely alone as the world moves around her. 
  Until Sam de la Cruz, a young man of summer smiles, takes a seat beside her and an unlikely friendship blooms. Months pass and their relationship grows, but her mind and memories continue to fade until Sam realizes the strange, lonely woman he’s come to love is more than what she seems. 
  A story about love, loss, and what it means to live forever.

  Liam: Losing isn't a trait anyone looks for in a quarterback, and I never won when it mattered. Arlington University was supposed to be a fresh start. But infamy isn't easily forgotten—especially when everyone knows my twin sister is dating my biggest rival. Constant reminders of their relationship have me on edge about Alleghany. Spending a weekend sleeping across the hall from Natalie Jacobs doesn't help. The popular, pretty blonde didn't just celebrate each of my defeats—she literally led the cheer against me. Just my luck the last girl who should pique my interest is also the only one who ever has. 
   
   
   
  Natalie: Spending the summer back in Alleghany, dealing with my parents' problems, is the last place I want to be. I jump at the chance to spend a weekend away, visiting a college friend. I'm not expecting to know anyone else visiting her cottage on the Cape, much less come face-to-face with Glenmont's infamous former quarterback. Not-so affectionately known as Sergeant Stevens on my side of the lake, Liam is still every bit the stoic, serious rule-follower I watched bark orders on the field. Sure, he's nice to look at, but that's where any interest begins and ends. The one thing Liam and I agree on is the rivalry between our hometowns isn't a surpassable boundary. And if we did allow ourselves to cross it, it would only be for now . . . not forever.

  It's the "bleeding edge" of science: Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human duplicates. The result? The Parahuman, a crucial resource for the rich, the famous, and top political leaders. But the technology spread rapidly without oversight. Hollywood re-creates megastars from the golden era to save itself from bankruptcy; organized crime kingpins can be in two places at the same time; political leaders can send their Parahuman duplicate into places too dangerous for any human to enter. But what happens when AI develops its own personality--and objectives?  
    
  Michael Benchley, FBI Deputy Director of Science and Technology, is in a race against time that leads him to Hollywood, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and ultimately to the White House. As the U.S. Senate seeks to define this new form of "life," and to shield the Parahumans from abuse, the creatures achieve gain-of-function beyond anyone's anticipation. It's a scenario closer to reality than you think!
