Seventeen-year-old Isaac Brandano has been kicked out of more prep schools than he can name. But now that his father’s State Senate campaign is pushing a public school agenda, Isaac finds himself enrolled at Concordia High.

Kelsey and Isaac are destined to hate each other. And at first, they do. But when they are forced together on the creation of a new school club, sparks begin to fly. Then the club’s critical event turns into chaos. Now Kelsey and Isaac must retrace their steps and figure out how and why everything got so got screwed up, who was to blame, and how they can move forward.

This new novel from fan-favorite Lauren Barnholdt showcases–through a sweet and sparkly narrative–how the last person you expect might just be the one who changes your life forever.

Synopsis: His touch was electric.
His eyes were magnetic.
His lips were a temptation….
But was he real?

After crashing her car on an empty highway, Shane is miraculously saved by Travis, a mysterious cowboy who walks out of nowhere. She is instantly attracted to him, and for the first time, she believes in “soul mates.” But Shane soon discovers that Travis is dead and that strict rules from the Underworld govern kindred spirits of different dimensions. Breaking these rules could destroy both their souls. And while Travis is almost impossible to resist, temptation proves to be the kindest enemy they encounter.

The Temptation: TALK ABOUT ANGST. Oh yeah I love me some angstyness!! And that COVER oh my god… is the boy in the background hot or what?!?! I cannot wait to read this!
