Publication date: May 2014
Genres: Romance, Young Adult
Synopsis:
Dive into the fabulous, fun lives of six Academy girls as their friendships are tested, torn and ultimately triumph…
Emma has it all – looks, money, and luck. It’s not like she keeps it all to herself – she’s totally committed to helping those less fortunate. AKA, everyone. She invites her heartbroken friend to help with a weekend charity event with an eye to matchmake, but when that friend turns her eye toward the guy Emma wants for herself, how will she choose between friendship and her own feelings?
* * *
The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it’s about to turn the Academy—and the lives of its students—totally upside down…
The Jane Austen Academy series are modern retellings of Jane Austen classics set at a beachside California boarding school.

Excerpt:
Emma
threw open the front doors to the circular driveway, which—perfect
timing—Knight was rounding. The Corvette swung out parallel to her and stopped
hard. Knight threw open his door and leaped out.
Knight's
gray T-shirt was rumpled, as if her text had found him sleeping. Likely, given
his aggressive napping schedule. He must have pulled on the first pair of dark
jeans he could scrounge up from the foot of his bed. The sleeves of his brown
leather jacket were pushed up to his forearms, and one of the shoelaces of his
Converse was untied and flopped to the ground. His brown hair stuck up at odd
angles, skyward and sideways. He must have fallen asleep with gel in again.
(Knight wasn't one for Emma's strict grooming rituals.) While she should have
frowned in disappointment at his haphazard appearance, she found herself
smacking her lips with approval.
He
did manage to make disheveled look adorable.
Knight's
warm, coffee-colored eyes wildly roved her body from head to toe and back.
"Oh god. You look okay." His right arm latched around her neck. He
pulled her against his side and laid a quick kiss on the top of her head.
"You are okay, right?"
"Of
course I am." With a grunt, she disentangled herself from his arms.
"What
is it then? Don't say your mom."
"Why
would I say your mom?"
"Emma."
He let out an exasperated sigh. "So…everything's okay?"
"Better
than okay. Dazzling! Don't worry about your lack of luggage. I'll have some
clothes brought to the house. But first we must go for a ride." She walked
around to the passenger side of his Corvette and opened the door. She noted
that he wasn't moving and waved her hands for him get in.
Knight's
brow crinkled, and he heaved out a breath that ruffled his bangs. He ran a hand
through his hair, which made the dark strands puff up even more, and then
pulled his phone out of his back pocket. Reading the screen, he said, "9-1-1.
I need you now." He held the phone out over the hood of his car for
her to read. "Is this how your phone autocorrects, I'm doing nothing
important, swing by whenever?"
"Everything
I do is important." Emma crooked her finger. "Let's go."
Thanks for being on the tour, Melissa! :)
