Curvy Girls Can't Date Billionaires

When my mom gets us a cleaning gig for a billionaire, she gives me one rule: Do not, under any circumstances, fall for his son. But why would I? Dating him could cost us the first big client we’ve had in far too long. Not to mention my heart was just broken, and Kai and I couldn’t be more different.

He grew up in a mansion while we can barely afford our apartment. His family donates insane amounts of money to the school I attend on scholarship. He has a personal trainer and I live on coffee and muffins. But for some reason… he likes me anyway. I know I should stay away from him. How can I get my heart to stay on the same page?

Curvy Girls Can't Date Cowboys

The one thing my parents can’t shelter me from is my heart. I nearly died the summer of my eighth grade year, and ever since then, my parents have done everything they could to keep me healthy. Now I’m a senior, and instead of feeling safe, I’m suffocating.

When my parents take my twin sisters out of town for an audition, I have my chance to show them that I’m responsible. That I can go to college on my own and start a life outside of their organic food store and Emerson Academy. All I have to do is turn in all my assignments and have a few quiet nights at home. No problem.

That is, until my video project partner decides to be a total flake. Ray may be hot and fill out a pair of Wrangler jeans like nobody’s business, but he is not ruining my chance at freedom. I go to his family’s ranch to get his help, but instead discover something else. Could everything my parents taught me be wrong? Unless I act fast, my quiet weekend will ruin my chance at freedom and wreck my heart faster than the flash of my camera.

Curvy Girls Can't Date Best Friends

It was all fake dating and games until my heart got involved...I wanted to have the best summer ever. To have my first kiss and finally get my brother’s best friend to notice me. So I talked my best friend Carson into helping.

He’d do anything for me, and I’d do the same for him. But somewhere between fake dating and pretending to fall in love with him, I fell for real. And it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.

Curvy Girls Can't Date Bullies

He bullied my sister. Now it’s his turn to pay. Ryker is the top of the Emerson Academy food chain, and he uses his power to remind everyone of just how powerless they are. Until now.

When I see him picking on the most innocent girl in school for her weight, I snap. Ignoring him is no longer enough. No, my friends and I are going to make him pay. He’s going to go down as the hottest mess Emerson Academy has ever seen, and I’m going to be the one lighting the flame.

Curvy Girls Can't Date Soldiers

He’s in love with me. The only problem? He thinks I’m someone else. I’ve spent my whole life trying not to get bullied. For my frizzy hair. My freckles. The white patches on my black skin or the gap in my teeth. Not to mention the extra hundred pounds I have on most of my classmates.

So when my soldier pen pal wants to see a picture of me, I freak. I send him a picture of one of the it girls at school and move on. The odds of us meeting in person are less than zero, and for once in my life, I want to know what it feels like to be one of the beautiful girls. Someone a guy like him would be into.

And it is amazing...Until I start to feel more about him than just a pen pal should. He says he feels the same way, but when he wants to meet me, I have a huge problem. How can I put my heart on the line when I can’t even show my face?

Curvy Girls Can't Date Surfers

When my dog runs away on the beach and into the arms of a handsome surfer, I think I’m in luck. Until I realize said surfer is actually a grump who acts like he owns the ocean.

I want to forget the encounter ever happened and focus on helping care for my dad, who suffered a brain injury while in the military. But I’m out of luck. Jerk supreme, aka Diego, goes to my new school. And since we’re in the same classes, I’ll be seeing a lot of his stupid white teeth and mischievous eyes while I do my best to finish my senior year and get started on my career.

Getting paired with him for a class project was just the icing on the cake. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize first impressions aren’t always true. I’m falling for him, but I need to stay away. Military brats know everything is temporary. I’ll only break his heart.
