Dearest (Hot) Enemy

Seventeen year-old August Cooper secretly adores her hot next-door neighbor, Jace. Plus, he's always beating up her ex-boyfriend (you've got to love that). But Jace seems to be allergic to August. Or something. Whenever he sees her coming, he winces and walks the other direction. What's up with that???? The dude RUNS from her - that is, when he's not staring at her all longing and adoring like. But if August looks his way, the gorgeous boy grabs the nearest cheerleader. August is confused. And hurt. And CONFUSED!!

PLUS: the school yum-fest, Tyler, wants August all to himself. But Tyler is a heartbreaker. August doesn't want that, thanks. August wants Jace. Maaaaan.
