If you had asked Emma Watson ten years ago what her life would be like at twenty-four, chances are her answer would not have included the words "single", "living at home", or "boring job". Meet twenty-four-year-old Emma Watson who is back home for the summer, recently graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in English Lit. Perfect, except her life is nothing like what she expected it to be. And just when she thought things couldn't get more depressing, there's her crazy family to deal with and her friends from high school who are just as lost with their lives as she is with hers... this is the summer Emma will discover herself with a little help from Gandhi and a young man who may, or may not, be boyfriend material.

*****In the past four years of high school there hasn't been a thing that I havent competed for with Dean Purvis, my best friend. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time, there wasn't a thing that I would compete for and not win. Just like my freshman year at Saint Mary's Academy, Dean and I both tried out for the one spot left on the basketball team and I did everything I could to beat him. Then, there were our grades. We both competed for Valedictorian and once again, I beat him by one little point at that as well. We both applied to Harvard University, he got shot down but I got accepted and then felt guilty about not accepting the scholarship that he so badly wanted. But, that is beside the point. The point is, I never let Dean beat me in anything accept one thing. The one thing he actually beat me in getting, is the only thing I ever really wanted. Emma Lancaster. ***** Emma and Beau have been best friends for the longest time. Though Emma always really felt more for him than he did with her, but Beau never could see past playing with womens hearts to really notice that he felt the same way about her. So what happens after graduation when Emma accepts Dean Purvis's proposal and Beau realizes that he is the one that is supposed to be with her? Will Emma play it safe with her perfect life? Or will she risk it all for the first boy she ever really loved? *Spin off between Emma and Beau from the books Running on the Beach at Night & Between Love & Deception*

Meet Emma Ellerbee and her best friend Roo Bailey. Together, they share a love of anything chocolate, retro 90's music, and 15-year-old hottie, Nick Rangioni. From tent-hopping on Friday nights (backyard camping parties called "The Tents"), to the annual block party ("Affair on the Square"), neighborhood traditions spark more than bonfires and star-gazing. It's a funny breeding ground for awkward crushes, proving that life doesn't always work out the way we want it to...and that true friendship is often the sweetest gift. ********** From one ridiculously bad decision after another, 14-year-old Emma Ellerbee tries to navigate her hormones, parties, hot neighbors across the street, a pesky 10-year-old, 4 older brothers, and her best friend. Has Emma met her match with the Rangioni crew? Plus, how many cupcakes can one girl eat?? Will Roo eventually forgive Emma for that one little (gigantic) mistake? And can Emma finally forgive herself? ********** [Excerpt from Nick Next Door, Novel is PG rated] [Light & Fun, Easy Read] I'm still fuming when I make it back to my house, but the sight of my mom and Roo baking, and the delicious smell of sugar, instantly lifts my mood. "Ray of Light" by Madonna is streaming in the kitchen. "How did it go?" Roo asks. "Exactly as I expected." "That bad?" "Like if the Titanic was also hit by a meteor." "Want to talk about it?" "Never again." "Thanks, honey," my mom interjects. "For going over there. I really appreciate it - still feel like baking?" "Yeah, I'm in." I grab a whisk and a bowl, along with some eggs. It's time to bake. **********
