Meant To Be
Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.
It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of
hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A
junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and
being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a
pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark
Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be").
But this spring break, Julia's rules are about to get
defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with
her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one
wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number!
Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if
she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose
chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise
of all: true love.
Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most
meant to be.
The Art of Lainey
"A satisfying and sweet story." -Publishers Weekly
Soccer star Lainey Mitchell is gearing up to spend an epic
summer with her amazing boyfriend, Jason, when he suddenly breaks up with
her—no reasons, no warning, and in public no less! Lainey is more than crushed,
but with help from her friend Bianca, she resolves to do whatever it takes to
get Jason back.
And that’s when the girls stumble across a copy of The Art
of War. With just one glance, they're sure they can use the book to lure Jason
back into Lainey’s arms. So Lainey channels her inner warlord, recruiting spies
to gather intel and persuading her coworker Micah to pose as her new boyfriend
to make Jason jealous. After a few "dates", it looks like her plan is
going to work! But now her relationship with Micah is starting to feel like
more than just a game.
What's a girl to do when what she wants is totally different
from what she needs? How do you figure out the person you're meant to be with
if you're still figuring out the person you're meant to be?
The False Prince
THE FALSE PRINCE is the thrilling first book in a brand-new
trilogy filled with danger and deceit and hidden identities that will have
readers rushing breathlessly to the end.
In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the
divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find
an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince.
Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy
named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet
his life balances on a sword's point -- he must be chosen to play the prince or
he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous
palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth
is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of
the lies taken together.
An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action,
lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edge of their
seats.
The False Princess
Princess and heir to the throne of Thorvaldor, Nalia's led a
privileged life at court. But everything
changes when it's revealed, just after her sixteenth birthday, that she is a
false princess, a stand-in for the real Nalia, who has been hidden away for her
protection. Cast out with little more
than the clothes on her back, the girl now called Sinda must leave behind the
city of Vivaskari, her best friend, Keirnan, and the only life she's ever
known.
Sinda is sent to live with her only surviving relative, an
aunt who is a dyer in a distant village. She is a cold, scornful woman with
little patience for her newfound niece, and Sinda proves inept at even the
simplest tasks. But when Sinda discovers
that magic runs through her veins - long-suppressed, dangerous magic that she
must learn to control - she realizes that she can never learn to be a simple
village girl.
Returning to Vivaskari for answers, Sinda finds her purpose
as a wizard scribe, rediscovers the boy who saw her all along, and uncovers a
secret that could change the course of Thorvaldor's history, forever.
A dazzling first novel, The False Princess is an engrossing
fantasy full of mystery, action, and romance.

"Thrilling and creepy, super sexy, and so very
hilarious." --Lisa McMann, bestselling author of the Wake trilogy

guy she met on the internet only three months before, and is moving them to his

unbelievably good-looking, officially off-limits stepbrother.
But on her first night in her new home, Isobel starts to
fear that it isn’t only her life that’s unraveling—her sanity might be giving

being the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons.
