Fifteen-year-old Bobbi-Jo Cotton has two (major) problems: her weight has ballooned to over two-hundred pounds, and she's been screwed by more than her fair share of boys at Industry High. But things are about to change...Spunky North Carolina teen Bobbi-Jo Cotton is overweight, oversexed, underloved and misunderstood. When Dr. Harvey Lassiter—her former high school principal turned bicycle shop owner—sponsors a charity bike race, Bobbi sees an opportunity to test her Schwinn and her fortitude. And when Tom Cantwell, her best (and only) friend, reveals he’s crushing on her, Bobbi figures it’s time to quit passing out screws like they’re dentists’ office suckers.What Bobbi is having a harder time letting go of is the resentment she feels toward her missionary parents, who, after abandoning her in the night, have flitted back into her life with a surprise: she’s about to be a big sister.Will Bobbi win the race (and maybe even lose the weight)? Can she overcome her promiscuous past and earn the trust of the boy she just may love? Will her parents care enough about her—or her new baby brother—to stick around (and if they don’t, will she be tough enough to survive another of their betrayals)?The only way to find out is to come along for the ride. The way Bobbi sees it, all of life’s questions can be answered from the seat of a bicycle. And if they can’t, at least your hair will look great fluttering in the breeze.About the AuthorMaggie Bloom grew up in the ‘80s, under the influence of acid-washed jeans, hair bands, leg warmers, and John Hughes films. She currently resides in coastal Maine with her family (and the world’s smartest cat, Twinkle). Views: 45
Celebrity journalist Amelia Stone is the quintessential L.A. party girl. She goes to Hollywood's most exclusive, star-studded events, where she rubs shoulders (and occasionally more) with celebrities, stays out until all hours of the night, and indulges in the ultimate sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll existence. In short, she's got everything a party girl needs: the looks, the job, the lifestyle. And oh, yes, the out-of-control coke habit.But it's hard to keep topping your own outrageous exploits, and after losing her job, her friends, and much of her mind (not to mention waking up in the hospital after combining five Ambien, four lines of Special K, and an inestimable amount of cocaine), Amelia makes the drastic decision to end her drug abuse. Sobriety, she finds, has its rewards: she starts seeing the man who could be her Mr. Right and gets hired by a big-name magazine to write a column detailing her wild adventures with the celebrity party crowd. And who could... Views: 44

Detention is not the place where you're supposed to meet your next boyfriend, especially when he's Asher Boyd, known pothead and occassional criminal. But he makes good girl Sadie Brown feel something she hasn't really felt before - extraordinary. Seventeen-year-old Sadie Brown is a good girl from a good neighborhood who gets good grades and makes good choices. In the past, she's dabbled in making bad ones and ended up with an ex-boyfriend, a couple of bruises, and a year and a half of wasted time. Never again. Until detention, when she officially meets Asher Boyd, notorious pothead and occasional criminal. He's everything she shouldn't want in a potential boyfriend - irresponsible, unreliable, and frustrating - and everything she can't resist. After an impromptu makeout session in a supply closet at the end of detention, rumors follow Sadie into next week, and when people start making assumptions based on those rumors, she is thrust into her high school's hierarchy. Suddenly, everyone has an opinion on her sex life, and her reputation is tarnished for something she didn't even do. Worst of all, Asher isn't around much and doesn't seem to care when he is. But there's more to Asher than meets the eye, more than just the superficial stereotype he indulges in to meet low expectations, and the darkness no one sees is enough for Sadie to risk her reputation to be with him... If he's willing to take the chance on her, that is. Download your copy TODAY to find out!** Views: 44
