  • The Fiercest Chicken in the Bookstore

    Fifty thousand dollars in only three months?

    Callie needs money—fast—if she’s going to save her family’s bookstore and home. In spite of being one of the few financially-challenged students at St. Charlie High, Callie would not trade her life at St. Charlie for anything in the world. But unless she can do the impossible and raise fifty thousand dollars out of thin air, Callie and her mom will be out on the streets.

    Three heirs and one fortune?

    Money was never a problem for Everett Harrison Goldwell III, but now his grandmother is taking a hard look at Everett and his siblings and deciding which of them is worthy of inheriting the Goldwell fortune. Everett is determined it will be him, regardless of what he has to do to lose his party-boy persona.

    One simple solution?

    In return for helping him improve his image and win his inheritance, Everett offers Callie the money she needs to save the bookstore. As Callie and Everett pretend to be dating, Callie’s social life is launched from obscurity to notoriety, turning the social standings of St. Charlie upside down.

    One very big problem.

    As she spends time with Everett, Callie is surprised to find he’s not who she expected. She knows their relationship is fake, that Everett is just using her, yet she can’t help imagining what it would be like to be dating Everett for real. Falling in love with her fake boyfriend is such a bad idea…unless he returns her feelings.

    Will Callie be brave enough to tell Everett how she really feels?

    Or is she too chicken?

  • Somewhat Alive
