Hockey camp, now, when she’s playing the worst she’s ever played. If she messes up? Her life will be over.When the two Sloanes meet by chance in Montreal and decide to trade places for the summer, each girl thinks she’s the lucky one: no strangers to judge or laugh at Sloane Emily, no scouts expecting Sloane Devon to be a hero. But it didn’t occur to Sloane E. that while avoiding sequins and axels she might meet a hockey hottie—and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It’s not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you’re someone else might be more difficult than being yourself.

Find the perfect dateFinding the perfect date--an excerpt from Do Over:I read, “Would you rather have someone run their fingertips or fingernails over your wrist?” Trey’s eyebrows lifted. “I don’t know. Show me.” He flipped his hand over, palm up with the back of his hand against the black foam bar.I swallowed and ran my fingertips over the blue veins on his wrist. His fingers twitched. I looked into his eyes when I lightly scraped my nails over the same spot. His fingers flexed and touched the back of my hand. His eyes widened and dilated.

Dating: One on One
Stephanie Street
That's why I was stoked to find Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome playing ball with my brother and his friends on the neighborhood court. So, I showed off a little, no big deal. I was pretty good on the court myself. He seemed interested- that first kiss said it all- but something was holding him back. Drew Piper was...unexpected. Who knew I was into tall girls who could shoot a basketball? But I was. At least, I was into Piper. A lot. It didn't matter, though. I promised myself no relationships. I was in a new town. At a new school. I didn't need a repeat performance of what I went through before. So, no girls. No basketball team. No games, on or off the court. Now, if I could just get this girl out of my head. Can Piper convince Drew they can be just as good off the court as they are on it? Eastridge Heights Basketball Team Book #1 Dating: One on One
