Books with author Stephanie Riley

See, here's the thing. My friends think my new soccer practice partner, Graham Fordham, is a complete hottie. I guess he is, but he and I have this understanding. We're friends because we both think dating is an annoying pain in the butt. Don't get me wrong. I love my bff's, but they've both lost their minds a little since boys came on the scene. All I want to focus on is making varsity soccer as a freshman. Crazy hard, but I know I can do it with Graham's help (yes, he's an amazing athlete, and no, I have not noticed the muscles in his legs when we're practicing. Seriously. I haven't. Because that would be a complete disaster and ruin everything in my entire life, and no, I'm not exaggerating). But when late night practices, pizza disasters, accidental dates, and ice cream food fights change all the rules between us, suddenly everything that matters to me is about to go into a major crash and burn.Books in the Mapleville High Series:The Truth About ThongsHow to Date a Bad Boy Pedicures Don't Like DirtGeeks Can Be Hot )The Fake Boyfriend ExperimentIce Cream, Jealousy & Other Dating TipsABOUT THE AUTHOR: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Stephanie Rowe is the author of more than 40 novels.

When Allie's summer in Hollywood crashes and burns after her dad dumps her, she has two choices: crawl under the covers and cry for three months, or manipulate her way into getting a job at the farm stand that her friends (and some boys!) are working at for the summer.It's a no brainer for Allie, who isn't about to let her parents ruin her life. But when she shows up for her first day at work, she discovers that being assigned to a shovel dirt with a boy who thinks she's useless (which she might actually be, when it comes to farm work) is a sweaty, miserable torture that no girl deserves. When her friends make a bet that Allie can't win his heart, she suddenly finds herself with a challenge she can't afford to lose…for more than one reason.
