"I hate the way I feel about you and I hate you for making me feel everything." * * * You never expect to fall for the one person you shouldn't. Well...that's actually what happens all the time. You know you shouldn't, but it happens and your heart gets caught in tight ropes. Dawson McKinnon and Olive "Liv" Roedan are best friends and have been for almost fifteen years. Dawson started his first year of college and Liv started her senior year. They're different, but somehow they're the same. They know each other without really knowing they know. Alone, they both have a secret they hold tight inside without the other knowing. The way they feel about each other. The one thing they tried to dissolve before it was too late. Together, they share one secret that they want to put behind them. One night...one mistake...one thing they can never get back. If brought up again, this secret could destroy a friendship. They made it this far and maybe, just maybe, they'll take another step together. * * * NOTE: This book is a third in the series, but it's a spin-off of the first two books. The two main characters are the kids of the characters in Charming in Handcuffs and Charming and Awkward! You may want to read those first, but you don't have to. Also, this is NOT a good girl/bad boy story.

Benjamin Herveaux is my twin brother's enemy. Cole hated him since the incident in middle school and till now, he hasn't dropped the subject and still despise him. I have no problem with Benjamin to be honest and thinks he's a pretty cool guy, but I have to side with Cole on this one cause he's been my other half since birth. Rumours were going around the school about Benjamin liking me and an accident happen between us at a party... A good one but risky in my opinion if my brother finds out. From that point, I realized I'm starting to like Ben more and more and went behind Cole's back which was bad but I didn't care. I'm willing to risk my relationship with my brother just for his enemy and I know Cole will never forgive me for doing this to him... I'm torn between my brother and Benjamin.

Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.

In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category. She kept the one true love, music, hidden from even her best friends. But when one song changed the world she lived in, shaking it to it's very core, everything she knows is about to change. Her future and a past even hidden from her collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of, allowing her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.
