Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. 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.

The sprinkles on top of the burnt Christmas cookie that is her life? The new owner shows up early, forcing Tilly to hide in the attic to save her job…and what remains of her dignity.

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.

“Is this your makeup in the bathroom?” My heart stops. I deny it. But she knows it’s mine. I've asked her out so many times, but each time she's told me no. Until now. After our dinner, I press my luck. Maybe just one drink back at my apartment? It's my only shot. And now it’s over because I didn’t hide my makeup. She’s going to storm out, and I’ll never see her again. But she doesn’t leave. She goes to my bedroom. When she comes out, she’s holding a dress. My dress. “I want you to wear this for me.” My mouth is dry, and my whole body is trembling. I can’t do this. I...

I’m always so careful. How did he find out I wear panties under my suits? And why is he offering me a job? The gorgeous secretary steps off the elevator and walks toward me. Everyone else drools over her body. I just feel sick with envy. She reminds me of everything I can never have. Everything I can never be. As she hands me the note, I know it has to be a mistake. There’s no way the head of marketing asked to see me. When I knock on his door, I know he’ll tell me I’m the wrong person. He can’t possibly want me. Instead… he tells me he knows the true me. The one I’ve kept ...

The odds are finally in my favor. One hand to win back everything I’ve lost. To pay back everything I owe. But these people aren't interested in being paid back. At least not with money. I’ve been preparing for this — reading articles and watching videos filled with blackjack tips. So many videos that I don't think twice when new ones show up in my inbox out of the blue. I never realize what these videos are really preparing me for. When I push the chips in, I know my life is about to change. I can feel it. And I’m ready. What could go wrong?

I'm always the joke. Always the one people laugh at. But when my best friend invites me to one of the auctions he loves so much, I know it's my chance to impress him. He'll never think of me in the same way again. Benz is always talking about these silly auctions. He brags about all the gems he finds scattered in the junk, but I never believe him until I see the chest. It looks like it's been through so much. Traveling across oceans, wars, marriages. I just know it has a story. Spotting this will finally get Benz to respect me. But if it's so special, why am I the only one bidding? When I ...

"That's where my talent really lies. I can see who people truly are. Under all the layers of pretend they use to hide themselves." It's just a silly costume. I have to pretend to be a woman for a few hours at the party. Just a dress and heels. It's definitely a blow to my manly ego, but I'll survive. But then he comes up to me. I have no idea who he is, but when he touches me, something changes. And even though I tell him I'm actually a man—that I'm not gay—I wonder if that's really true. Could it be that he knows something about me that I don't even know?

Waking up with a strange man standing over me should be terrifying, but I’m not scared until he threatens to call the police. I’m at my limit. I have no money, no car, no place to live.
