She then loses first chair flute in band to Kathy Meadows, the pretty and popular mean girl who's tormented Mel for years.
Her luck changes when she catches the eye of Josh Kowalski, a rebellious trumpet prodigy and class clown. Josh has also been hurt by Kathy and asks Melinda to help take Kathy down. Mel figures that she has nothing to lose ... and Josh is adorable with gorgeous blue eyes and a winning smile. She agrees to team up with him and looks forward to finally getting back at her rival.
At first, the pair's pranks against Kathy are silly, and as they work together, Mel comes out of her shell. Wild, impulsive Josh gets her to do things she'd never done before and Mel enjoys being a bad girl. Even better, she and Josh fall in love and their teen romance blossoms.
However, as their schemes become more involved and dangerous, Mel begins to question her loyalty to Josh -- and is surprised to find how dark her dark side really is. Just how far will she be willing to go to get what she wants -- and is keepng Josh really worth the risk of going against her beliefs?
This is a coming of age tale about finding love, staying on top and staying true to yourself. Is it really possible for Melinda to have it all?

Let best-selling authors Kathryn Shay, Patricia McLinn, Judith Arnold and Julie Ortolon take you on the life-changing journeys of four men who find their soul mates in four very strong women. Four complete novels in one volume.
COP OF THE YEAR, Book One of the Bayview Heights series–When Captain Mitch Lansing is assigned to Cassie Smith’s high school classroom, sparks fly. He’s by-the-book, and she’s unorthodox and innovative in her teaching methods. But when Mitch develops an unstoppable bond with her students, Cassie finds her attraction to him irresistible.
“In COP OF THE YEAR (4 1/2 Stars Gold Medal), master storyteller Kathryn Shay pens an emotionally powerful tale that leaves you breathless. Woven into this riveting plot are wonderfully written characters that grab your heart and don’t let go. Bravo Ms. Shay!” RT Book Reviews
LOST AND FOUND GROOM, Book One of the A Place Called Home series–Chasing a story, hardheaded journalist Kendra Jenner is caught in a vicious hurricane…and unexpectedly in the arms of a stranger who speaks no English. Fear leads to passion leads to their making a baby. Three years later, “Paulo” arrives at her Wyoming home, speaking perfect English, and with a new name. He announces he’s come for his son and for her.
LOST AND FOUND GROOM is “…bursting with wonderful Patricia McLinn romantic touches — powerful characters, strong interplay and fiery moments.” RT Book Reviews
SOMEBODY’S DAD, from the Daddy School series–Fund manager Brett Stockton wants love, commitment, maybe even marriage—but no kids, period. Falling in love with photographer Sharon Bartell is easy. She’s everything he could possibly want in a woman…except that she’s the single mother of a two-year-old son. Can Brett learn to love Max? Or for both Max and Sharon’s sakes, should he walk away?
“Judith Arnold lives in a blessedly gimmick-free universe. No quirky plot devices, no revolutionary narrative structures, just stories of interesting people falling in love.” The Romance Reader
Can The Perfect Red Lipstick Give You Power & Purpose? Jennie Nash’s Perfect Red – An “Absolutely Dazzling” Story Set in 1952 McCarthy-Era New York – 4.8 Stars & Just $2.99 on Kindle
“Captivating from the first sentence, impossible to put down, Perfect Red leaves you inspired, energized and ready to take on the world. Powerful storytelling at its most potent.” — Lisa Cron, author of Wired For Story: The Writer’s Guide To Using Brain Science To Hook Readers From The Very First Sentence
Perfect Red is a story about obsession, passion, and the perfect red lipstick. Why lipstick? A hundred reasons, really. I was inspired by a story one of my writing students told me about a real-life duchess who used blood to make her cheeks red; I was inspired by Coco Chanel, on whom my character Isadora is based; and I had done a lot of research about the color red for my last novel, The Threadbare Heart. All that was in my head when I started writing a story set in the 1950s about a secretary to a prominent book editor who becomes obsessed with with writing a book of her own. She’s attracted to and repelled by the whole idea of passion, so the perfect red lipstick was a perfect subject for her. She longs to wear it, and to write about it, and wrestles with her yearnings throughout the book.My favorite red lipstick is one by MAC. I’m not quite as bold as Lucy, so my red is more like a soft maroon. What’s your favorite red? I’m taking a poll on my website and would love to hear your vote.
Thanks for reading!
