Natalie's last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start...until she starts seeing the "wrong things." They're just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there's a pre-school where the garden store should be.

That's when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls "Grandmother," who tells her: "You have three months to save him."

Annie McFarland is sick of being a shy nobody. A session at summer camp seems like the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself—gain some confidence, kiss a boy, be whoever she wants to be. A few days in, she’s already set her sights on über-hottie Kyle. Too bad her fear of water keeps her away from the lake, where Kyle is always hanging out. Jacob Fazio is at Camp Pine Ridge after one too many screw-ups. Junior counseling seems like punishment enough, but the rigid no-fraternizing-with-campers rules harsh his chill. When a night of Truth or Dare gets him roped into teaching Annie how to swim, she begs him to also teach her how to snag Kyle. Late-night swim sessions turn into late-night kissing sessions…but there’s more on the line than just their hearts. If they get caught, Jake’s headed straight to juvie, but Annie’s more than ready to dare him to reveal the truth.

Mud, Sweat, and Tears (Trailer Park Princess)

Anyone who knows anything about Texas knows there is precious little that’s more important than football. Pro football, college football, peewee football, it doesn’t matter. If it’s an egg-shaped ball, Texans are all over it. But there is one very particular football – this is the ball that a former Texas Tech Red Raider caught during last year’s Super Bowl game and ran into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. As footballs go, it doesn’t get much more important than this. The ball was donated to a charity auction and expected to fetch a pretty sum. Until it disappears. Salem and Viv are on the hunt for the missing football and the reward money that goes with it. At least, Viv is on the hunt. Salem has all she can handle not freaking out about the mud run she’s signed up for. But she feels about reward money like the rest of Texas feels about football. If she can manage not to humiliate herself during the Mud, Sweat, and Tears Run (a mighty big if) she might just score some points of her own.

Where to Choose

As the best damn trial lawyer in town, Carole Ann Gibson had defended them all—from the white collar crooks who stole with computers and legal loopholes to the street crooks who dealt drugs and stole with knives and guns. Then the bad guys took her husband's life and CA walked away from her law practice. But what does a lawyer who doesn't practice law do all day, especially if she's still all but paralyzed by grief? What does she do with her wealth if all that money can't buy back her husband's life? She answers a call for help from her mother and runs home to Los Angeles, only to find the beautiful, peaceful community where she grew up—Jacaranda Estates—controlled by violent thugs who prey on the mostly senior residents, and a police department that seems not to care. CA is confused and perplexed by the situation and searches for some kind of logical explanation.
