Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I know that Emily is the one for me, but she always tells me I'm not her type. With a little help, that might be about to change. Twice, I've found the courage to ask her out, and twice I've been turned down. But this time might be different. My best friend shares a secret with me about a woman who creates potions. Love potions. Even though I don't believe in magic, I'm desperate. I'll do anything for just one chance with Emily. Despite my doubts, the potion works. But not how I expected.

I only had to wear a dress for one night. Just long enough to fool my boyfriend’s parents. I didn’t know it would change my whole life. My boyfriend hates his family. His spiteful sister and his very anti-gay mom and dad. But they’re also very rich. And if he wants his inheritance, we have to pretend to be a straight couple. That means I need wear a dress and makeup. But only one time. Just for dinner. So why do I buy more women’s clothes every time I watch one of these silly videos that comes to my inbox? And why am I flying to a clinic that promises to help me become who I’m ...

"Trust me, you'll love this," she says. My heart races when she hands me a pair of black stockings. I stare at her, but she just nods. I sit and slowly pull them up my legs. I’ve never felt anything like this before. Never imagined anything could feel this good. But I stop. I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t like this. I’m a man. Then her hands find mine — she kisses me — and I forget all my doubts. My fears are gone. “That’s my girl,” she says. No one has ever called me that, but I nod my head. I am her girl.

I dream of him night after night. He's dressed in a tuxedo that I'm sure cost more than my first car, while I'm wearing a sparkling black gown. But there are two problems with these dreams. First, I've never seen this man before. And second—I'm a man. My first day at my new job, I'm stressed. My bills are so far past due that I know the collection agents by name. If this job doesn't work out, my gas and electric will be shut off. So I'm already on edge. Then I see him. The man from my dreams. How can this be? How have I dreamed of him when this is my first time meeting him? Over the next ...

I never believed in magic. Not until my best friend put on that ring. We couldn't be more different. I'm a football player, and Austin is a scrawny kid who looks like he still belongs in high school. But since our freshman year, we've been best friends. So close that he told me his darkest secret. One I promised I'd never reveal to anyone. As much as I encourage him to be himself, he stays hidden deep in the closet. Until the night he slides that ring on his finger. Now everything is different. He's different. He's finally getting what he's always wanted. But each change makes it more ...
