(The Triumvirate Histories Book One)
What do you get when you add thirty eighteen-year-old high school seniors and a two week trip to Paris?  One sometimes boring, other times not trip of a lifetime.  
And when you add your roommates sneaking out and your guy best friend sneaking in to your room?  A night of movies and junk food until finally passing out at three in the morning.  
Now, for a more exciting question, what do you get when you add together a drink thrown in your face, getting lost in the museum you're in as you come back from cleaning yourself up, and walking in on heist in progress?  That's right.  The kidnapping of Emmy Alexander, who just happened to be me.  
But when you hear about all of these kidnappings on the news, you expect the worst.  Not mine, though.  Mine included a secret society that the public, after learning about it a few years before, thought was now a modern myth, searching the globe and stealing back the pieces of a puzzle that we didn't know what information it would hold, and running from another secret society that was bound and determine to stop us no matter what.  
Oh, and you can't forget John Raymond, who just happened to be the one who kidnapped me.  It was technically his fault I was in the middle of this, thrust into a world of secrets.
I couldn't complain, though.  And no matter what, John couldn't say we didn't make a great heisting team.  
But when that other secret society came into our crazy, messed-up equation, it added even more danger.   
But then again, I wanted a little adventure in my life, and I sure as heck got it.

(The Triumvirate Histories Book Two) What do you get when you add a girl whose life has been more than boring over the last few months and another who looks like a Southern Belle Barbie come to life? Two roommates who are bound to not have anything in common. And what about when you add her nerdy, yet extremely good-looking boyfriend into the mix? Getting to think about that guy you fell for who thought it'd be nice to tell you he loved you before disappearing. And what do you get when you add seeing the guy who'd shot you in your first college class, the next day almost being kidnapped by the secret society that he was a member of, and finding out that your roommate and her boyfriend are totally not who you expected? Yep. The second kidnapping of Emmy Alexander, though I was more than happy to go along with it this time. After months of waiting, I thought I wasn't going to be a part of the mission of the Brotherhood, the secret society that was hidden to the world, as they continued to try and piece together the puzzle of where their hidden history was located. But when the leader of the other secret society makes a promise to come after you, she definitely intended to keep it. So now, I was back in the protection of the Brotherhood, back with John Raymond, that guy who apparently forgot about those three words he said to me before disappearing. But was I complaining? Heck no. Because, along with being with him again, I was officially back to being a part of the mission and we were traveling the world yet again, only breaking into the government buildings of the wealthiest nations in the world this time. And, of course, the Knights, that other secret society, were going to try to do anything to stop us just like the last time. They wanted me...wanted my help in getting into the heart of the Brotherhood, which I still didn't want to happen. And I thought my life was going to be boring again. Yeah, whatever.

But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town.

(The Forgotten Passages Book Two) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to the parties, galas, and benefits, used to keeping secrets, and used to the dangers my life with the Brotherhood of Time brought me. It's been two months - two months since Drake Garner came back into my life after four years of silence, two months since he trusted me with the secrets he kept, two months since we started our own adventure his great-grandparents had gone on before us...but only two weeks since that adventure came to a halt when one of my best friends was dumped at our doorstep, broken, unconscious, and bleeding. It wasn't just Drake's reappearance that changed everything. Vince Peters was set on getting his hands on me, but there was no way it was happening. Not only could I protect myself, but I had the strength of the Brotherhood and the Knights behind me. He thought he could break me by hurting those I love, but he didn't know what was coming for him. Because I was and there was no stopping me. But some secrets are meant to stay hidden...even when you become one yourself.
