Grandma is leaving her house, her fortune and her pride and joy, Lil’s Sweet Eats, to me—if I’m married before my twenty-fifth birthday and remain married for one year. Only thing is, my birthday is next month and I don’t even have a boyfriend yet. My best friend Max suggests her older half-brother Devlin Marks. He’s in a bit of a bind with a bad group and might be open to signing a prenup and making a bit of money in exchange for marrying me. It wouldn’t be quite so awkward if he wasn’t so hot and I hadn’t had a crush on him for forever. So anyway, now I have an entire year ahead of me—with him. Can I resist falling in love with him? A story about second chances and fake marriages. Sometimes you don’t even see what’s right in front of you until you get a second chance.
Life sucks. Big time. But guess what? I've got a dream no one can kill, and I've been planning how to make it come true. Charly's holdin' it down--she's got the attention of Mason, the new cutie around the way, she's setting the style for her crew, and if you get in her way, she'll mush you. Despite her frontin', her game is shaky--she's got no phone, no ride, and she's living on the outskirts of Chicago. Even worse: she's got a dream-killing mother and has to work part-time to help pay the bills. But Charly's got a plan to rise above it all--using the acting skills she's honed over the years to save face around the haters. All she's got to do now is get to New York without dropping the ball on making her and Mason official. But between the most messed up travel plans ever and a bunch of broken promises, Charly's got a long journey ahead of her. That's okay, 'cause nothing will stop her, not even the biggest challenge of all that's waiting at her destination. . .. "Kelli reinvents the urban heroine--she's cuter, smarter, fearless.

Charly. A few days ago, I was just Charly. A small-town girl, bartending at a club near my tiny apartment, living paycheck to paycheck. Then I got a letter from a lawyer telling me my father died. Now, I’m an orphan with no clue what to do with the estate and the club my father named after me. I should sell it and enjoy the billionaire lifestyle away from city life, but the secrets my dad left behind bind me here. Or rather, my dad’s best friend tempts me to stay. Rocky. No matter how much I try to pull away, I’m drawn to everything about her. I keep telling myself she’s off-limits, but the urge to protect her courses through my veins. Someone’s out for the club and her, just like they were out for her father. The closer we get to figuring out what really happened to my best friend, the more danger she’s in. It’s up to me to save Charly.
