So You Think You Can Dance?
It had been Bella's dream to go on the dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance. She was a contemporary dancer, going to college, trying to rebound from the death of her father. Her mother's lack of support and a significant injury forced her to forget her dreams and go to school, getting her masters, to be a teacher. Edward Cullen had already lived the dream, being the runner up for the previous season of So You Think You Can Dance. He was a steamy, sexy Latin dancer and a fan favorite, but he came in second behind a jazz dancer, Lauren Mallory. But, in Edward's world, it worked out for the best. He now had an opportunity to be a choreographer and an All-Star for the competition. Rosalie, Bella's best friend and fellow dancer, convinced Bella to try out during the audition tour in Portland.

To Love Asher Cole
Asher Cole could be more interested in a rock than Oakleigh Keating. And yet, Oakleigh could not be more interested in Asher. Oakleigh Keating has had a crush on Asher Cole, a close friend of hers, since before she could remember. Yeah, Oakleigh and every other girl that's ever met him. Star football player, criminally good looks and a panty melting smile? It's no wonder. But despite spending years trying to get him to notice her, Asher only seems to see Oakleigh as his little sister's friend or someone to tease or laugh at. But after seventeen years of hopefully pining after a boy who couldn't care less, Oakleigh decides it's time to grow up. Leave Asher Cole in the dust and move onto bigger and better things - like the Royal Albert Hall. Like her career as a ballerina. Like getting skinnier. Like the promise she made to her father. The answer is simple: Forget Asher Cole. So why can't she get this damn boy out of her head? --- TW: The main character of this book suffers from an undiagnosed eating disorder.
