Taren needs a do-over. She's decided the best way to put the high school bullies behind her is to pledge a Taylor-Swift-lip-syncing, beer-guzzling, sorority. Sisterhood helps Taren find the acceptance she's always craved, but not the love she needs. Alec wants freedom. To escape his father's iron fist and unrealistic expectations, he pledges a campus acrobatics club where he finds that drugs and alcohol aren't the only ways to get high. His addiction to danger helps him gain his independence, but it comes at a heavy price. When the two cross paths, Alec fears his undeniable attraction to the party girl just might threaten everything he's worked so hard to earn. Taren hasn't forgotten that Alec humiliated her back in high school, but she also can't deny the chemistry they share. Alec and Taren have nothing in common, but fate is bound and determined to bring them together. They know falling in love is a risk, and yet it's too hard to ignore. When their worlds clash and they both end up suffering, will they fight to stay together? Or are some pledges too hard to keep?

The Pledge

Emma Harris is learning that life is just a series of lessons. Lesson #1: Nothing goes the way you plan. Lesson #2: You can't trust men. Especially not the pretty ones. Lesson #3: Turns out, appearances are almost always deceiving. Emma thinks she has life all figured out, and what she knows isn't good. For years, she's put her big sister, who was born with Down syndrome, first. Now Emma's ready to start her own life, but fate has other plans. To do the right thing for the sister she loves, Emma's dreams will just have to wait. She doesn't plan on meeting Landon - a rich, flirtatious jock, who never has to wait for anything. Not for attention, not for money, and certainly not for girls. Meeting Emma marks the first time in his life that he's had to fight for something. And Landon doesn't know how to lose. Emma has no interest in wasting her summer with a superficial guy like Landon. But very soon she realizes she is wrong about him. The question is, can she trust him? Or will he let her down like every other guy in her life? But most importantly, can Emma trust herself enough to live the life she's always dreamed of? Life has a way of sneaking in the most important lessons when you aren't looking. And once the heart gets involved, that's when the real learning begins. *** This book is intended for mature audiences. 18 and over!

Rock star Sting wanted to tell his German audience he was hot on stage. 'Ich bin warm,' he told them, which unfortunately translated as, 'I am gay.' Foolish Words- a book that could easily be re-titled I Wish I Hadn't Said That- takes a huge variety of gaffes, blunders, and faux pascommitted by those in the public gaze who cannot escape the permanent record of note pads, radio microphones, and TV cameras. From hapless lawyers caught in the act of strangling common sense, to inept businessmen predicting that small computers won't sell, to bungling politicians suffering from foot-in-mouth disease, all spoken blunders are here. Prince Phillip re-defines the meaning of a diplomatic visit with his views on tribal rituals, native painting, and Chinese culture. Foolish Wordsis a wickedly funny collection of the very worst uses of the English language by those in the public eye who really should know better.
