Love is a scorching trail she's afraid to follow... *** Star Matthews knows what she wants in life: everything that her current one isn't. She made tough decisions to get to where she is now and the last thing she wants is the beautiful complication that is Julian Wilde, Prescott University's most notorious playboy who just happened to be proving his reputation to her roommate when Star first met him. Thrown together every day in close proximity, Star fights her distracting attraction to Julian who insists that there's more to her than what she shows the world, and that he wants it, all of it, the good, the bad, the beautiful and the broken. When her sins come to light, proving she is no bright star after all, will Julian stand by her side or will he walk away before she can burn him heart and soul? *** Copyright © 2015 by Nina Tippett.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.

"Love is..." I explored my brain to find the most suitable word in my dictionary that could fit in the definition I was trying to say; the definition that could make the jerk, sitting opposite me with a smirk on his face, believe in 'love'. "Bullshit?" He offered with a huge arrogant smirk on his face and no matter how much I agreed with him on this particular matter, I couldn't agree. So, instead of nodding my head in agreement, I scowled at him. His smirk grew bigger and he leaned away from me, gazing at me with his piercing grey eyes. "Finding it hard to make me believe in love when you yourself don't believe in that shit, huh?" With his piercing grey gaze fixed on my every move, I realized that 'being the devil's cupid' was going to be a lot tougher than I had initially thought. (By the author of 'And We Meet Again')

Without enough money to pay rent on time, she has to find a new roommate. The only one available is the one guy she can't bear to be around. Carter Shaw. A wink of the eye and your resolve will fall faster than you can say 'no'. He was just that good. With Bailey and Carter both living carefree lives, you can say that living arrangements are going to be chaotic. Mixing two bachelors together is bound to get messy. Throw in competitions, dares, and things that weren't likely to occur and you have Bailey, and her roommate, Carter. ~∞~ "You're starting to sag." I gasped loudly and pushed Carter down the rest of the stairs. He was laughing loudly. "I'm kidding. Your ass looks fine." He grabbed my butt and made a beeline to his car before I could get him back. I felt violated. "This affection you're showing must stop." I slammed his car door shut. "Whoa. Don't mess with the interior." I opened the door and slammed it shut once more. "Bailey. I will start my car and drive. Then while I'm driving, I will throw you out the car." "No you won't because you can't kill me. I'm too pretty to die." I said. He snorted.
