I know what you're thinking. You're thinking this will be just one more story of the ignored, 'big-boned ' girl, who sheds her glasses and a few extra pounds and finally attracts the notice of the most popular guy in school.
Except it isn't. Because I'm not unpopular. And I love the way I look-just as I am.
Then someone puts my name in for Homecoming Court. The bigger surprise? People actually vote for me!
Now, I'm a 'princess'-whether I like it or not-but the guy I'm paired with isn't exactly Prince Charming.
Rhys Castle is the strong, silent type who always wears a frown-he's certainly never smiled at me. I'm 99.9% sure he hates being on Court and being my partner, but surprisingly . . . he doesn't switch when he gets the chance.
Turns out Rhys has a secret-something that makes him run hot and cold throughout the entire three weeks of Homecoming festivities. Whether he's stepping on my feet during dance lessons or gallantly escorting me through the Homecoming parade, I can't get a read on this guy, and for the first time, I find my confidence wavering.
But there's more to Rhys than meets the eye. And the more the spotlight shines on me, I realize there's more to me, too.

Convincing the star athlete to pretend is easier than she'd thought it would be. The hard part is protecting her heart. With every word, touch, and kiss, Viola's feelings become more real.

Seventeen-year-old Sadie is tired of being a good girl.
Her Career Aptitude Test results say she's ideally suited for a career in the clergy (a.k.a. a nun), and on top of that, she receives yet another rejection. An aspiring dancer/choreographer, Sadie dreams of being featured on Dancer's Edge-but they say she's too sweet, needs more life experience. Her BFF, Kyle, and her oldest friend, seventy-nine-year-old Betty, agree: Sadie is in desperate need of a life makeover.
But she'll need a coach.
Sadie doesn't lie, cheat, or steal-heck she doesn't even curse (part of the reason she hasn't checked off anything on her 'Carpe Diem List'). Sadie doesn't know the first thing about being bad. But Kyle's twin brother, Colton, does. And he's willing to teach Sadie on one condition: she has to do everything he says for the next month.
A dazzling first kiss, two smokin' hot brothers, and a bet that changes everything. In this enemies-to-more YA romance, Sadie learns that breaking the rules can be fun-especially when it leads to happily-ever-after.
Seventeen-year-old Snow-Soon Lee kicks ass-literally. She teaches at her family-owned martial arts gym, The Academy, and cares more about training to be the next Bruce Lee than hooking up. In fact, Snow's never even been kissed. But when Girls Night rolls around, Snow decides to prove to her friends (and herself) that she's not just some boring tomboy. Impulsively, she kisses a hot stranger and even manages to escape his two security guards.
One stolen kiss . . .
Ash Stryker's senior year sucks. His politician father pulled him out of Chariot High, separating him from his championship-winning soccer team. Now he's stuck at a prissy private school with no friends, no team, and no chance of being scouted. On top of that, thanks to the death threats his dad's received, Ash has a security tail, a.k.a. professional babysitters.
One interesting job proposition . . .
After a seemingly random attack, Ash's mother surprises everyone. She hires Snow to be Ash's personal bodyguard until after the election. But can Snow's kick-ass skills hold up against the rising threats to Ash's family? More importantly, can Ash convince his ninja girl to screw ethics and kiss him again?
Adorkable (ah-dor-kuh-bul): Descriptive term meaning to be equal parts dorky and adorable. For reference, see Sally Spitz.
Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: she needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around-hottie, and Sally's best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal-even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's "more than pretty," and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life-and he's completely clueless.
