Brooklyn Prescott is starting to settle into life at The Rosewood School for Academic Excellence. Now that the masquerade ball is over and was a total success (whew!), she can return to her non-party planning life! She's dating Jared officially now that he's returned from Japan, and he's even asked her to read his memoir of his life as a child actor, a great honor for Brooklyn, the wannabe journalist. But just as things seem like they're sliding into place, Emmie breaks up with Dave, who is suddenly showing interest in Brooklyn. More confused than ever, Brooklyn doesn't know what to do-stay with the great guy who is obviously into her, or take a chance with the one she's been crushing on since her first day on campus and risk alienating her friend and roommate? And what about Coach Fleming, who she has to resist every single day at equestrian practice? One kiss starts the ball rolling and a second changes everything, causing a chain of events Brooklyn never could have imagined. As the holidays approach, Brooklyn needs to figure out who and what she is most thankful for. But then who she really is catches up with her and turkey dinners and horse shows are nothing compared to suddenly being faced with a life or death situation. Reading Between The Lines is the fourth installment of The Rosewoods, an exciting new Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories.

Kaylee Bennett has never felt like she really fit in at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence, but this year she feels even more like an outsider. Life has done a one-eighty for Kaylee and as she returns to the posh school for girls, she can't bring herself to tell her secret to her friends and definitely not her long term crush, Phillip Carson. Not that Kaylee could ever imagine he would be attracted to a quiet bookworm like her anyway. But then there's Declan Ryan, the gorgeous exchange student who seems to be interested, until Kaylee finds out his secret and why he might actually be into her, and it has nothing to do with her charm or love of English literature. To complicate matters, Kaylee gets stuck running the school's production of Romeo and Juliet, directing both Declan and Phillip with the help of Rosewood's sexy first year teacher, Mr. Stratton-as if the Westwood boys weren't enough of a distraction! Determined to stay away from Declan and make things work with Phillip, Kaylee isolates herself from her friends and hides out in the house of cards she's built to protect herself, but how long will it stay standing? Playing The Part is a companion book to Taking The Reins and Masquerade, the first two books of The Rosewoods, an exciting new Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories.

Brooklyn Prescott couldn't be happier now that she's returned to The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence. She has her friends back, has returned to equestrian training and she's just about to turn eighteen. If only she didn't have that Brady complication in her life, everything would be perfect. But not only is that complication still there, Brady's become even harder to resist after Brooklyn's time away from him; absence makes the heart grow fonder after all. Plus there's that birthday gift he gave her that just about melted her heart. At least he's not her coach while he's recovering from his injury, so keeping her distance is somewhat easier. That is, until a stolen kiss crushes her resolve. Then Brooklyn's past meets her present in a heart-stopping moment that threatens to topple her carefully constructed house of cards. Brooklyn's half-truths all start to come back to haunt her and she realizes that part of being an adult is dealing with consequences, even when that means hearts get broken. Hitting the Target is the eighth installment of The Rosewoods, an exciting Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories.

Seychelles Spencer-Chelly to her friends-is the resident bombshell at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence; Westwood boys want her and Rosewood girls want to be her. But being the popular girl isn't everything it's cracked up to be, especially when that girl is all an act. Oh, she's not exactly lying about who she is, it's just that the confident, outgoing exterior is quite different from the girl inside. Not that it's ever been a problem for Chelly. Until now. Because now that she sees her friends settling down with boyfriends, she's decided she no longer wants to be the carefree girl who gets all the boys' attention. Now she wants to draw the attention of one guy and get herself a steady boyfriend. But before she can make that happen, a game of truth or dare that was supposed to be stacked in her favor goes terribly wrong and Chelly finds herself at the center of a dare that will make sure she never gets a guy. Still, she's determined and will do whatever it takes to get herself a guy of her own. But who? And at what cost? And most importantly, is she ready to drop the act? Acting Out is the seventh installment of The Rosewoods, a Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories.

Clayton Henshaw has had enough of drama. Now that the school year has begun, he’s determined to buckle down and get top marks at the Westwood Academy. It might be the only way to convince his father, once and for all, that West Point is not the place for him. MIT is his dream school, but his father—former military and high ranking security official—isn’t convinced. Even though Clay got expelled from his military prep school (on purpose? He’ll never say for sure.) his dad still thinks the service is the life for his only son. Clay’s only way out might be to get a scholarship. Then his father will have no say. It's not like he has a social life that will interfere with his studying time. Especially after last year when he discovered the girl he used to crush on attends Rosewood, the all-female school down the road. Why is that bad news? That girl is dating his best friend and roommate. Trying to keep his crush a secret, Clay swears off social events. Best to fly under the radar until graduation. But his well-meaning roommate has other ideas.Clay fights the pressure, but when it looks like his plan to avoid Rosewood might just work, he gets recruited for his community service assignment at Rosewood. He’s stuck helping out new girl, Indigo O’Reilly, with her art project. The two butt heads—she’s prickly and oversensitive, and Clay doesn’t understand art—it’s math and physics that make the world go around, after all. But then Clay makes a grave mistake. One that might cost him not only his future, but his place at the school. And maybe worst of all? His best friend. When Indigo steps in, he has no choice but to let her help him. Maybe the buttons she presses aren’t all the wrong ones. And the more they work together, the more they realize they might just have something in common.Striking a Pose is the first book in The Westwoods, a fun and flirty series for readers who love to laugh and read about hot guys.

The school year is winding down at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence, but Brooklyn Prescott is nowhere near ready to leave her friends behind to go home for the summer. Also, there’s that unfinished business with Brady—she can’t leave for the summer with how things are between them now. But how is she supposed to get through to him when he won’t even talk to her to let her explain? Not to mention that he’s moved on and found someone else, a mystery girl that no one knows. The best Brooklyn can do is try to put it all behind her and move on. At least she knows that when she’s ready, there’s someone in the wings waiting for her, someone who makes her laugh and wants to spend time with her. He may not be Mr. Right, but as Brooklyn’s friends tell her, maybe the distraction of Mr. Right Now is just what she needs. And then there’s her writing project with Celia that will hopefully help get her mind off her mess of a love life. Maybe creating a book boyfriend will help her get over the real one that got away. Can she make it through the rest of the year without getting her heart broken again?
