Former Junior Hall Monitor, minimum-wage waitress and passionate Mexican folk dancer, Penny Sanchez knows how it feels to get the short end of the stick. With a best friend who's too busy swapping gum with her on-and-off-again boyfriend, a sister with a serious ego, and a mother who refuses to listen to anyone except a paying customer, the only person Penny can trust is her 80-year-old adrenaline-junkie Nana. To make things worse, Penny has been asked to lead her "Ballet Folklorico" band of misfits to National Finals, the closest any American Folk Dancer has ever gotten to the Championship title. With school, work and an insane family, Penny is going to need to micromanage (or clone herself multiple times). But when a fellow high school journalist asks Penny to temporarily cover local sports events for the school newspaper, Penny may just meet a certain star athlete who will find her neurotic habits more charming than the perfectionist she pretends to be. But then again, it really is all up to chance.....

Alice isn't like the rest. She's a werewolf, same as them all. But she's weak. An outcast; a runt in the Lilac Falls pack. She's been living with the blame for a murder she didn't commit for years, and she's so tired. Of being abused, bullied, beaten and broken, scarred, discarded, and most off all forgotten all her life by all the people she should have mattered to the most. So when she is rejected by her mate and runs away, taken for dead, she knows she'll never see any of them again. She's a rouge now, dangerous as they come and with a reputation known by wolves across the States. Life has hardened her into something else entirely. When she is reunited with the daemons of her past, bad things are going to happen. Very bad things.
