You’re mine or you’re his.I don’t share.Caterina Zanetti has it all: a charmed life in the elegant, residential areas of Rome, a top of the range car, an aristocratic boyfriend and a glorious future as a pampered society housewife. Until her father persuades her to move to the USA and spend her second year of college at UCF in Orlando. In less than twenty-four hours, before she’s even got over her jet lag, her whole life is turned upside down. Just one look at her handsome next-door neighbor is all it takes for her to question her perfect, programmed existence."That's exactly the kind of guy you need to stay away from" her father warns as they get out of the taxi.Yes, because Benjamin Carter looks exactly like the kind of bad boy who makes smart girls do stupid things. Everyone thinks he has it all: women literally fall at his feet, he has the highest grades on his course and he's the singer in one of the most popular college rock bands in the city. Yet something is missing. Someone is missing. Someone who can help him realize that not everything in life is black or white, who'll stand up to him and force him to take off the mask he's been hiding behind all his life.And apparently, that someone has the yellow eyes of a wild cat and a sexy Italian accent that drives him crazy. Will he win the heart of the beautiful foreign student who is intent on keeping him at arm's length or, in the end, his wild, impetuous character will ruin it all?Choose Me is the first novel of the Matching Scars Series.

“I feel an electric shock, I try to break free but he clasps me even closer to him and at last, at last… he really and truly kisses me, like in the movies.”Marta and Vale, two bosom friends, are as thick as thieves but very different in character: the one is cheeky and self-confident, the other withdrawn and shy. With the help of their school-friends Giò and Sara they set out to become irresistible, able to conquer the hearts of the older lads. They try everything, from face masks to attempts to “lengthen” their hair, from nose piercing to buying provoking bras. Will they succeed in making the handsomest boys in the school fall at their feet? Are Luca and Aie really beyond their reach? And so among amours and misunderstandings, a shopping spree in the centre and one party too much, the two inseparable friends are ready to put their own desires to the test. But then enter Marco, Marta’s brother, who what with a game of water polo and a jaunt on a Vespa seems to reveal to Valentina that there is something deeper…Valentina F. is fifteen years old and lives in Rome. This is her first novel, and this is her first love story. 350.000 copies sold in Italy. First book of a series, ILY2M.
