Ginger Scott

USA Today bestselling author Ginger Scott serves up a swoony college sports romance about fierce rivals who fake-date their way to viral fame—and a real match. Tennis is my life. Work hard. Win clean. Trust no one but yourself. That’s how you become number one. Too bad Cordon University only worships Bryson Moss—the golden boy quarterback I’ve despised since our train wreck of a first meeting three years ago. Now he wants a favor I can’t afford to refuse. His sister’s dating app needs a power couple for launch, and I need the cash to stay in school. The contract is simple: fake the romance, fool the internet, cash the checks. Except our chemistry isn’t fake. The banter, the tension, the way he looks at me when no one’s watching—it’s all devastatingly real. When we go viral, the pressure intensifies. And when my body betrays me on the court, threatening everything I’ve worked for, Bryson won’t let me quit. I’ve always believed champions stand alone. But what if falling for my enemy is the bravest thing I’ve ever done?

Kensington Worth er en gudsbenådet pianist med en lys fremtid foran sig. Hendes far, musikprofessoren, har store ambitioner på hendes vegne, og hendes sidste år på den prestigefyldte privatskole i Chicago skulle have handlet om veninder, musik og optagelsesprøven til de bedste musikskoler. Men Kensingtons verden vælter, da hendes far får nyt job, og familien må flytte til Woodstock, en lille by langt ude på landet. I stedet for skolen i byen må Kensington nu gå på en almindelig skole, hvor hendes enetimer erstattes af skolens marchorkester, og hendes elskede klaver af en xylofon – af alle ting! Da hendes nye nabo, den umulige Owen Harper, ovenikøbet afslører hendes fars utroskab, ramler hendes verden. Owen Harper er berygtet på hele skolen. Han er vild og rastløs, og hans fortid taler man kun om, når man sladrer. Selvom hans talent på basketbanen er ubestrideligt, ser Kensington ham først og fremmest som en provokation. Men langsomt begynder hun at opdage sider af Owen, der er både overraskende og beundringsværdige – og måske endda værd at elske. For første gang i sit liv overvejer hun at gøre noget kun for sin egen skyld. Men kan hun slippe fri af sin fars forventninger og finde sin egen vej? Vild og rastløs er en gribende enemies-to-lovers-roman, som fletter en intens og rå kærlighedshistorie sammen med alvorlige emner som selvmord, psykisk sygdom og afhængighed. Det er første bog i serien Harperdrengene, men den kan læses selvstændigt. Bogen var finalist til årets bedste YA-roman på Goodreads, da den udkom i USA.

I've had a crush on my best friend, Alex Mendoza, for years, and I was finally going to tell him how I felt. But instead, I got cold feet. And now he thinks I'm interested in his teammate-my ex. Of course, being the good friend he is, Alex has offered to make my ex jealous. What's wrong with a little play flirting?Well, for starters, I'm not playing. Alex's mom and mine are best friends, soul sisters forged together by growing up in the same small town. They say they didn't plan it, but the fact that Alex and I were born two weeks apart has always felt very much part of their plan. Our birthday parties were always together. First days of school were the same. And when Alex got his own car, the passenger seat was literally labeled with my name-Nikki Thomas. Convenient since we were inseparable. For most of my life, Alex has been like the big brother I never had. He's always been my protector. And he's always made me feel safe. But somewhere along the way, he started to make me feel other things too. Now it's his senior baseball season, and he has the talent to go pro. His dreams are all coming together. My life, on the other hand, is falling apart. I know Alex would support me if I told him my secrets. After all, that's what best friends do. But maybe it's my turn to be the protector. And if that means all I can have are a few pretend kisses, then perhaps that will have to be enough. Unless it turns out Alex has been keeping secrets of his own.

And I'm not sure any of us are ready for that.

Hollis Taylor is allowed to break the rules. She's coach's little girl. And she's good. If that means she gets to bump one of the guys for the starting catcher's job on the Public High baseball team, then the others on the squad better suck it up and deal. But breaking rules has taken Cannon Jennings far in life.

Taking his signs from a girl was not part of his blueprint, especially one that screwed over his favorite relative and best friend. Too bad he broke the biggest rule of all before he knew exactly who she was. It was just a New Year's kiss. Totally forgettable. Especially under the circumstances. So why can't he stop thinking about it?

Casey Coffield har en lang liste af personlige fejl: Han kommer altid for sent, han skylder sin bedste ven, Houston, mere end godt er, og han når aldrig sine mål. Og så er han for resten droppet ud af McConnell. Det sidste synes han egentlig ikke selv er så slemt, men hans familie insisterer på, at det også skal på listen. På papiret er Casey altså en fiasko. Men når han er DJ på byens hotteste klubber, er han direkte uimodståelig. Han har en krop som en bokser og et smil, der vækker alle de rigtige følelser – kvinderne flokkes om ham, og de falder for hans charme ... hurtigt. Alle undtagen Murphy. Den uimponerede Murphy Sullivan er lige dele country og rock'n'roll. Hun har lilla hår, grå øjne og en skurrende stemme. Og så har hun åbenbart en historie med Casey. Det kan Casey godt nok ikke huske, men Murphy har skrevet en sang om ham. Det er bestemt ikke en kærlighedssang, men den er god. Rigtig god, faktisk.Casey beslutter sig for at finde ud af, hvad der har inspireret Murphy til at skrive sangen – måske kan det være en måde at få sat en streg over nogle af hans personlige fejl. Og måske kan det også åbne dørene til hans store gennembrud i musikbranchen. 'I din vildeste fantasi' er fjerde del af McConnell-serien. Den kan læses selvstændigt, men hvis du allerede har læst 'Den pige jeg var', vil du sikkert genkende Caseys bedste ven, Houston, og hans kæreste, Paige.
