M1_Wish_on_a_Star

She’s offering him fame and fortune. He’s looking for something a little more lasting…

Mandy Alcott swore she’d never return to Texas but she’s on assignment to scout out the next big music talent. Mandy would love nothing more than to get out of the backwoods honky tonk bar before someone recognizes her, especially her ex-fiancé.

Too bad he’s up on stage and he totally saw her tip out of her chair.

Tyson wants the simple life: running cattle, fixing tractors, making a little music. When Mandy approaches him with an offer anyone would be idiotic not to take, he turns her down. He wants to see her squirm. It’s the least he could do after she left him high and dry.

Cowpies, chafed thighs, and a mechanical bull aren’t going to stop Mandy from getting what she came to get. When Tyson’s signs the contract, she’s leaving Texas with no strings attached. The problem? Tyson’s made it clear he wants her heart and this time, he’s playing for keeps.

Diana had her life planned out…falling for a handsome superstar was definitely not part of it.

Diana prides herself on being in control of every aspect of her life, right down to the house plants that keep her company during her long, lonely nights at home. Plants don’t bark or shed and yes, they have names, but they aren’t much for company. When an unfortunate photo caught with Tad Fisher, pop music’s favorite bad boy surfaces, she’s pegged as his new girlfriend. The only thing crazier than actually being his girlfriend is faking that their relationship is real.

Tad is tired of being painted as a player. Diana is the key to repairing his image and though she could kill him for pulling juvenile stunts like soaking her in the pool, she always ends up laughing too hard to care.

There are a million reasons why being with Tad shouldn’t work but his killer smile, big heart, and chicken tikka masala are hard to resist. Though Diana doesn’t want to go back to being just friends, she has to trust that her heart has made the right choice.

Turning sixteen should have been exciting but Rebekah Lockwood’s birthday isn’t going at all as planned.

Now instead of trick-or-treating, the Lockwood sisters spend Halloween night dodging dark magic, helping their friends-turned-rodents, and if Rebekah’s lucky, maybe she’ll get to impress Austin, the cute guy she’s had her eye on.

To keep their town of Cotton Hollow safe, they must defeat the insatiable Pickering witches. It’ll require bravery but more importantly, it’ll take the bonds of sisterhood. And all without killing each other.
