The Player (PLUS: Ally Has Amnesia)


Melanie Marks - 2015
    But that was years ago. He’s forgotten all about me … right? Well, that’s what I thought when I started spreading my lies about us—on the Internet. He moved away and he’s all famous now, so I thought he would never know that I made him my new fake boyfriend. And said he adores me and brings me flowers.… Until he shows up at my door—with flowers (!!) …Um?The explanation:When my boyfriend dumped me for my total archenemy (Nina), to save face I posted on my blog that I didn’t care because I had a date to our school dance with The Player. I only did that because I knew my archenemy (Nina) wanted him, and my ex-boyfriend (Back-stabber) was jealous of him. Two birds—one stone. However, for some reason no one believed my crazy lies about The Player. Probably because, you know, they were crazy lies—about The Player. But whoa! Here he is, at my door for the dance—The Player. With that same ol’ player grin that has always played with my adoring heart. Yikes! I need a player’s manual … and an ambulance. ‘Cause I’m swooning for the boy that broke my heart. AGAIN!! (Help!) THE PLAYER is a standalone teen novel (200 pages). No book needs to be read before it or after it. There is no swearing in the book. This book also includes a story called: “Ally Has Amnesia.” (It is an hour read—two at the most.) Note about the novel, The Player: Parts of it are from Melanie Marks’ book Fake Boyfriend Wars, which is another book about the characters in this book. But since a large portion overlaps this book, even though the storylines are different, it is not recommended that you read both versions—as large portions are the same. (Choose only one version.) Also included in this book, as a bonus, is a new story about Ally and Griffin. It’s called “Ally Has Amnesia.” The story can be read as a standalone, there is no cliffhanger and has a happy ending, however the story will have more meaning if you’ve read Melanie Marks’ book, His Kiss. (It’s only a dollar right now.) Ally Has Amnesia is an hour read (two at the most) This book includes two teen romances from the author Melanie Marks, author of Fall For Me; and His Kiss (Plus a lot of other books) Melanie Marks' newest book is: Getting Lucky For Christmas and: The New Boy

Overboard

Sebastian is a trust-fund brat, a sexy, arrogant prick that Duncan can't possibly bring around his family, but he also can't let his sister down. With his family surrounding them, Duncan fears they'll get suspicious about his relationship with the other man, and Sebastian isn't helping at all. Once onboard, he proves to be too hot, too close, too damn irresistible. The two men are trapped in a small cabin together for the duration, and Sebastian is more than willing to take advantage of their situation.As the heat rises, Duncan's resistance—and his ability to stay in the closet with all eyes on him—is in serious jeopardy of going overboard.
