Description
For
17-year-old Emma Wong, spending a summer in England should be a dream come
true. Gorgeous scenery? Check. Lots of hot guys with accents? Yes, please.
Throw in an estranged mom, annoying new stepdad, and
drooling baby half-brother, and it's a disaster even her favorite cherry red
leather jacket can't fix. Even worse, there's (hot) live-in research assistant
Josh to contend with. The only thing more embarrassing than drunk-kissing him
hours after they meet? Knowing he'll be witness to her family's dysfunction
all. summer. long.
But when Emma meets a mysterious girl who happens to
be a Druid, her vacation suddenly promises to be far more intriguing than she
anticipated. Powerful rituals, new friends, an intoxicating sense of
freedom...and Simon, the sexy foreign stranger she was hoping for. It's all a
perfect distraction from dirty diapers and awkward family dinners.
Trouble is, intriguing doesn't often mean simple. And
Emma is about to discover just how not
simple her life really is.
