Two sun-soaked stories about two perfect summers . . .

In Labor of Love, Dawn joins a volunteer trip to storm-torn New Orleans, hoping to forget about boys—especially her cheating ex Drew—for the summer. So she's skeptical when a French Quarter fortune-teller predicts she'll meet someone special—there's no way Dawn's getting involved in romance. But then she meets cute, funny Brady. Dawn doesn't actually believe in psychic readings, but the closer she gets to Brady, the more their relationship feels like destiny. After the damage Drew did, could Brady be the person to mend her broken heart? Or is Dawn headed for heartbreak again?

In Thrill Ride, Megan has landed the perfect summer job at an amusement park far away from home. The only problem is she'll also be far away from her boyfriend, Nick. Megan is sure that true love can survive three months apart, but as soon as she arrives, she realizes things aren't that simple. Nick seems distant . . . her new roommate is always at her boyfriend's house . . . and her roomie's boyfriend? He keeps calling Megan and flirting with her. Megan was prepared for some exhilarating twists this summer. But resisting the charms of a super-hot coworker while holding on to her long-distance love? This is going to be one wild ride!
