Description:

When reporter Abbie Marshall needs to escape Honduras, a private jet carrying a Hollywood A-lister is her only way out. She has a ride home with Irish actor Jack Winter - notorious womanizer and all round bad boy. Abbie is shaken to the core by Winter's blazing beauty and provocative mind.

After the plane's nose-dive into the remote rainforest forces them to fight for survival, Abbie catches tantalizing glimpses of the complicated man behind the image. And the more she sees of him, the more he touches some primal part of her that she is determined to suppress. But after a devastating encounter with Winter's shadow side, Abbie's detachment is shattered.

On returning to normal life, Abbie cannot forget what happened, nor ignore the shocking rumours about the star's private life. Her struggle to make sense of her torment leads straight back to Winter, who is just as obsessed by her. But if they are to have a relationship, Abbie knows she must embrace his hidden desires ... and accept her own.

No longer caring about anything but their intoxicating love affair, Abbie is drawn deeper into the dark heart of Winter - and the secret that threatens to destroy everything ...

Description:

Stephanie Morgan Welsh has lots to worry about: moving to a new state, starting middle school, and bringing her mother with her to school—Stephanie’s mom is the new assistant principal. Stephanie is sure she won’t make any friends when that’s discovered. Mrs. Welsh has a temporary solution: Stephanie can use an alias, with her middle name as her last name until she’s confident enough to become a Welsh again. The “new” Stephanie wants to be popular. She notices some girls, all wearing hot pink shirts with glittery letters on them, and discovers they’re in a club called the “Excellent E’s.” Stephanie’s thrilled when they want her to be a member. There’s just one problem—her mom’s new rule that Eastburg Middle kids can’t have clubs that keep some of them out. So Stephanie has to keep the EE’s a secret. And to become a member, for two weeks she has to do everything the EE's tell her to do. That “everything” includes things the old Stephanie would never have done: cheating in band class, telling lies, and playing mean tricks on other students. Stephanie likes being in the popular group for a change but she soon finds that being popular isn’t easy. Her EE friends like the new Stephanie and don’t like her other new friends, Hilary and Tim. But Hilary and Tim like the old Stephanie. A letter-writing campaign and a protest march help Stephanie decide who her real friends are and how to become her mother’s daughter again
