On Deck by Kimberly Readnour

On Deck by Kimberly Readnour

There are two types of people in Bellow Bay. The rich.
And me, Dalton Boyd. But my baseball scholarship is my one-way ticket out of this town and away from judgmental eyes. Nothing stands in my way. That is, until a pretty blonde with the brightest blue eyes breezes into town and tilts my world. Cassie Green comes with one simple rule. Don’t fall in love. One summer is all we have. And trust me, a summer fling isn’t a problem. But there’s one small glitch in our plan.
I’ve never been one to follow the rules. Only this time, it may be me wishing I’d stuck to the plan.

Belly Up by Eva Darrows

Belly Up by Eva Darrows

I’d planned to spend senior year with my bestie-slash-wifey, Devi Abrams, graduating at the top of my class and getting into an Ivy League college. Instead, Mom and I are moving in with my battle-ax of a grandmother and I’m about to start a new school and a whole new life. Know what’s more fun than being the new girl for your senior year? Being the pregnant new girl. It isn’t awesome. There is one upside, though—a boy named Leaf Leon. He’s cute, an amazing cook and he’s flirting me up, hard-core. Too bad I’m knocked up with a stranger’s baby.
