“Fake dating Carter Haines is a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them.” When the opportunity presents itself to get back at her twin brother and former best friend the summer before her senior year, Bea can't help but take it. That opportunity is six-foot-two, with the wing-span of an Olympic swimmer, the abs of a professional body builder and the strong jaw of a Greek god. Unfortunately, his name is Carter Haines and is Bea’s next-door neighbor. He's also dangerous. Like, police show up at the door dangerous. All of those things make Carter the right person for her plan and luckily for her he needs a girl just like Bea to accomplish a few of his own goals this summer. Primarily, keeping his job and not getting sent to boarding school. The plan goes off too smoothly, throwing these two into each other’s orbit, where they learn the truth about one another, why their lives are a mess, and what it’s like to really trust someone. Bea and the Bad Boy is a standalone novel from Love in Ocean Grove, series of books about swoony first time love and toe-curling kisses for readers of all ages.

A classic memoir that's gripping, funny, and ultimately unforgettable from the bestselling former National Ambassador of Books for Young People. A strong choice for summer reading—an engaging and powerful autobiographical exploration of growing up a so-called "bad boy" in Harlem in the 1940s. As a boy, Myers was quick-tempered and physically strong, always ready for a fight. He also read voraciously—he would check out books from the library and carry them home, hidden in brown paper bags in order to avoid other boys' teasing. He aspired to be a writer (and he eventually succeeded). But as his hope for a successful future diminished, the values he had been taught at home, in school, and in his community seemed worthless, and he turned to the streets and to his books for comfort. Don’t miss this memoir by New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers, one of the most important voices of our time.

Enjoy this bad boy book by Best-selling billionaire romance author Michelle Love.... Jason Brennan- (Our Billionaire) sees a woman from his past at a charity event. Brittany Caldwell- She’s less than happy to see him, as they had dated off and on when she was in high school. He’s five years older than she is, but he was a player. She’s impressed to see he’s made something of himself when she finds him at the event and he’s all billionaired out in his tux and handsome as ever. She has no idea he’s the inventor of an app that allows the user to track their multiple love interests. The user inputs all of their information so he can keep them straight. By adding the app to their cell phone without them knowing, of course, it gives little pointers when the user indicates that he’s about to meet up with one of them. It reminds the user of things he found out about them—their favorite flower, color, age. Pretty much any detail he needs to recall about them. It also will give him a signal that sounds like a text is coming in when another love interest is closing in, so that he has ample time to move his situation to another location. It gives him the details about what direction the woman is coming in from and her estimated time of arrival. It’s called the Polyamory Handler (PH) for short. It was designed for people who like to have more than one relationship going at a time and prefer to keep them secret. And the little app has made him rich. He’s just turned thirty-five and the lifestyle he’s leading is a thing he has always wanted. That’s until he sees her again.
