Just as she is beginning to question the wisdom of her actions, the author of the self-help book, Dr. Lana Morris, comes to town for a 'Dare to be Great' weekend retreat. The events that unfold there give Everly a new understanding of the nature of courage... and love.

"And you're an extra, baby," Nyla teases, running her fingers through her thick curls as Deck glares. Deck shrugs, then grins. "Guess it's my princess way or the highway."

How to Get a Girl to Like You Back: a useful guide for geeks
A synopsis? Ugh. I thought the title was clear enough but here goes. *clears throat* I'm Alex Ryle, suburban cult leader and TV show connoisseur. Falling for a girl out of my league on my first day in the Land of the Free wasn't on my to-do list, and neither was becoming friends with a multibillionaire and an over excitable... word? (I don't quite know what to call him yet). There's also the blonde spawn of satan ruining my life but we're not going to mention her. Add a weird shirt and a slightly douchey jock to the party, and well... Those are the basic ingredients. Good luck on your quest, pigeons and Mordor refugees!
