Summer vacation is Levi London’s favorite time of the year. Each summer, he and his brothers are shipped off to Florida to stay with their grandparents. For ten weeks everything is perfect. He has freedom, fun, and Summer West—the cute and spunky girl across the street—for whom he’s planned to confess his giant crush. Right before the London boys are scheduled to leave, a scandalous family situation causes their mom to accompany them on vacation. Not only does Levi’s fun quotient promise to take a nose dive, but all the drama has him feeling less than his normal happy self.
Summer decides that Levi needs a distraction, in the form of a prank war. But he gets more than he bargains for when his older brother Lucas is both better at pranking and determined to date Summer too. Levi is a peacekeeper, but he isn’t sure he can mediate his family’s struggles or strike the right balance between mischief and romance. Especially when Lucas keeps reminding him that all is fair in love and war.
Book Excerpt
“So, your birthday is coming up soon.
The big 1-6. We need to do something epic. I’m thinking a huge party…” I
trailed off, knowing she’d shoot me down. There’s only one thing she’s ever
wanted to do for her sixteenth birthday. That was to go on her first date.
Summer’s parents only had one formal
rule—that I knew of, at least. No dating until you’re sixteen. I was surprised
the first time I heard it, because her parents never seemed to care that I was
always in her bedroom. I mean, we didn’t shut the door or do anything dodgy,
but still. Hunter broke that rule all the time, but Summer had stayed obedient.
She’d yet to go on an official date. I think the reason she didn’t push it the
way Hunter did was because she was scared and a little naïve. But, regardless
of the reason, the waiting had built up a lot of anticipation for her sixteenth
birthday.
“You know me better than that by now.”
Summer smiled. “I don’t want a party.”
I winked at her. “I know you don’t.
The real question is, who do you want to take you on your very first date?” I
tried to play it off like I didn’t care, but I already knew the answer. “Let me
guess, you want me to pull some strings so my dopey older brother will ask you
out?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, that’s never
going to happen.” She waved me off, then got quiet, like she was nervous.
Summer looked down at the stuffed animal she was holding. “Actually, I was
hoping you’d take me on my first date.”
“Me?” I was beyond surprised.
Summer grinned and said, “Yes, you.
Who else would I want to take me?”
Something exploded in my chest, and my
body got warm and tingly. I’d been out on plenty of dates, kissed my share of
girls, too. But the thought of doing either of those things with Summer made my
emotions do a happy dance. She wanted me to
take her on her first date. Maybe by default because she didn’t think Lucas was
an option, but I’d take it. This would be the perfect opportunity to show her
why Lucas sucked and I should be the man of her dreams.
“I’d be honored,”
I replied coolly, trying to hide how giddy I was. I didn’t want to look like a
desperate chump. “Do you have anything specific that you want to do?”
“Nope. I trust you to make it amazing
and unforgettable.”
“Geez, no pressure or anything.”
Summer laughed. “Of course not. No
pressure at all. I’ve only got a full page reserved for the event in my
scrapbook.”
“Do you really?”
“What do you think?” she countered,
but I couldn’t tell if she was being serious or not. Forget one page. Honestly,
I could see her making a whole “first date scrapbook”.
“I’m invoking my right to plead the
Fifth Amendment on this matter.”
“I
think you’re smarter than Lucas gives you credit for,” she replied.

Synopsis
Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School…except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she’s completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she’s just not into him. If that’s the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship.
Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth. To avoid a broken heart, Bebe has sworn herself to secrecy. Nobody can know how she feels about Cam…Ever!
Neither person wants to confess their feelings, but the universe has its own plan. Out of the blue, Bebe is courted by a secret admirer. Cam has to step up his game and Bebe has to make a choice. Play it safe and accept the affections of her mystery man or challenge fate and take a chance on the boy she loves.
Synopsis
Ivy Nixon is the student body Vice President at Franklin High School. Each year, the school holds a date auction to raise funds for the senior class graduation party, and this year, Ivy’s in charge. Planning the event is a huge task and Ivy is determined to prove she can get the job done right. Unfortunately, she’s still one participant short and her deadline is looming.
Andy Walker, her cute but socially reclusive art class table mate, is her last resort. He may not be popular, but he’s funny, talented, and full of surprises. With a makeover and some major social marketing, Ivy is sure he could fetch a decent price at the auction.
Andy reluctantly agrees to help, but the more time Ivy spends with him, the more her feelings shift from professional to romantic in nature. To top it off, she’s done her marketing so well, that other girls are starting to notice Andy too. Come auction time, will Ivy be able to let him go to the highest bidder? Or will she find a way to keep him for herself…
