She's his best friend's little sister. He's the biggest player of them all. They shouldn't be together. But this summer's just too tempting. Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti's goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother's best friend-Nick Grawsky-ever existed. It should be easy: He's spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won't be telling them they're like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won't stay awake at night thinking about him. She'll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year's showcase, and she's finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia's resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it's the spin they needed to be together.

And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She's off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he's not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don't expect much, for girls he doesn't want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he's not sure he wants to... At least for this summer. It's going to be a summer like no other.

He's going to prove he's meant to be a dancer-not a lawyer-and he is not going to stay away from Em just because his father demands it. He needs to show Em that-this time around-he's there to stay and that he won't break her heart again. Even when her world goes down to shit, even when he finds out his dad may have been trying to protect him all along, even if being there for one another is harder than falling in love. ALWAYS SECOND BEST is a novel of hope and heartbreak and broken dreams. It's a novel about falling in love and discovering that being first isn't always what matters.

A sweet romance... No promises. No fake tomorrows. That was the plan. New city. New life. At least, that's what nineteen-year-old Jen Harrison believes. On the surface, she's living her dream: dancing in a prestigious dance company in Paris. But her sister's death and the mistakes she's tried to bury haunt her. She's become a pro at hiding who she truly is, and she definitely doesn't want a guy to derail her, but a one night-stand she can do. Nothing more. She definitely doesn't plan to see the sexy stranger who made her laugh for the first time in years ever again. Girls don't walk away from Lucas Wills. Bad boy turned rock star, he's got his share of groupies. Always upfront, he doesn't promise fake tomorrows because love can destroy everything. Been there, done that. His ex not only lied to him, she stomped on his heart, used him to become famous, and almost ruined him. So, waking up alone after a night beyond his wildest imagination with a girl he just met shouldn't upset him, shouldn't inspire one of the saddest songs he's ever written, shouldn't make him want to chase after her. When Jen, the one-night stand who got away, auditions to be a dancer in Lucas' next music video, they can't stop their growing attraction. But Jen's secrets and his ex could shatter the careers they tried so hard to build and their hearts...they will have to decide what's more important and if love is worth the fight.
