A fresh, urban twist on the classic tale of star-crossed lovers. When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created “perfect” life is about to unravel before her eyes. She’s forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for—her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect. Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more. In a passionate story about looking beneath the surface, Simone Elkeles breaks through the stereotypes and barriers that threaten to keep Brittany and Alex apart. This is a preview of the first 10 chapters. The full book is available for sale at all retailers.

Isabella Minnelli always went for the wrong guys. She seemed to always find herself with some alcoholic "bad boy" that was no good for her or for anyone else. Isabella makes the wise conclusion of swearing off all men and focusing on her dancing career.

With her inexplicable luck, tragedy strikes her dance partner just before the first sectional dance contest. It's far too late to find a new associate, and Isabella's about ready to give up on her life-long dreams and prove to her Noni that she's not strong enough for this career-risking competition.

Isabella can only hope that his dancing skills contradict his personality. *credit to @weeknder for the beautiful cover! c:
