Jack McAden's goals for the upcoming year can be summarized in one word: business. All he wants is to finally take McAden Orchard to the next level-- but can he manage to stay focused in the face of the years-long feud with his twin brother, another wedding in the family, and the alluring woman in charge of the orchard's latest construction project? **** Jack McAden has taken McAden Orchard from the small business inherited from his parents into a successful, expanding company. But when everyone around him is settling down or looking for love, it sometimes feels like no one notices all the hard work he's putting in. He's more than used to people thinking of him as too antisocial, too focused on his career--so why does it bother him so much when the head of his latest construction job sees him the same way? A.J. Carter has been working for her father's company, Carter Construction, since she graduated high school. She's more than ready for him to promise her the position of CEO once he retires, but knows she needs to prove to him that she's ready. When he lets her be in charge of their newest job at McAden Orchard, she knows it's her big chance to show just how capable she is--and hopefully get her father's mind off of getting her to settle down, since her previous engagement ended in disaster. Will the city socialite be able to survive months in the quaint countryside, working side-by-side with the frustratingly closed-off Jack McAden?

Twenty-four days. That's how long it took me to fall in love. Pretty impressive, since for the first twenty-three days all I had to fall in love with were little presents slipped into my locker. [#81 teen fiction / #1 holidays] NOTE - I wrote this book at 14 so the characters are 15-16 year olds. This is your warning so you don't have to be surprised/disappointed when their ages are mentioned! Thanks!

"Between you and me, I specifically requested to be in Mrs. Woods' class," Zac said, slightly louder so Dream could hear him. "What?! Why would you do that?" "To investigate," Zac admitted. "Investigate what?" "It's a horrible thing," Zac said, beginning to speak in a softer voice again. "But I have a hunch that Mrs. Woods..." "What?" Dream said. "...Is a kidnapper..." --- Fifteen year old Dream Cadison has never lived in one place for long. So, when she moved to Brooklyn, New York with her dad for her sophomore year of high school, there was no reason for her to think things would be any different. But, against her will, she is almost immediately sucked into a complex mystery involving a psychopathic teacher who has committed unspeakable crimes. Although Dream initially wanted nothing to do with the whole thing, and tried to get through the school year as normally as she could, her participation in the mystery quickly became inevitable as she was thrown into a whirlwind of discovery after discovery, prompting her to join in on the investigation. A few months and a group of new friends as well as new enemies later, the clock is ticking, and Dream realizes that not everyone is as they seem. Will she be able to find out what is truly going on with Mrs. Woods? And will she be able to stop her teacher from doing more harm before it's too late? From kidnappings and lawsuits, to injuries and near-death experiences, there is only one thing everyone knows for certain: Dream and her friends will either succeed, or die trying. --- Cover made by @IceBlueShadows
