Book Description
From best friend to first love… Then, his stardom tore them apart. Now he’s back, and her explosive secret threatens their second chance. The day Claire meets Chris is like any other day. She has been kicked out of yet another foster home. The moment she sees the piercing in his lip and the tattoos on his smooth skin, she knows she won't last long in this new place. Claire has never been so happy to be wrong. With a patience that Claire has never known in her short and tumultuous life, Chris and his mother demonstrate that trust is possible once again. And in secret, when no one is watching, Chris shows Claire the power of love. Unfortunately, Chris is her foster brother, and the risk of being kicked out of the only home she's ever known looms if anyone discovers their relationship. However, once Claire heads off to college, she believes that she and Chris can finally reveal their love to the world. Suddenly, hiding their relationship becomes the least of their worries when Chris is presented with a record deal. Chris is unwavering in his commitment to Claire, assuring her that he will never leave. However, she knows he won't accept the deal unless she forces him to. Claire must make an unthinkable decision, one she feels compelled to make for the sake of their love. This boxed set includes all SEVEN novels from the New York Times bestselling series.

Book Description
The author of Those Shoes and an award-winning illustrator team up for the story of a girl who tries to overcome her fear of bees to see how amazing they are. Kaia is the brave type.

Her dad says that the world needs bees and that’s why they are beekeepers. But only he goes on the roof, not Kaia — unless she can find a way to be the brave girl she always says she is.
