Still, Mel promises she’ll keep Annie’s secret, figuring it’s the only way to save their remaining bond. |

Deserted Seventeen-year-old Kara is done spying on people for her father, the wealthy and morally corrupt businessman Dr. Ellison. Last summer, when her father’s project literally blew up, she fell hard for one of his victims: Leo, the hot musician who made her question her family’s rules.

- Before my daughter was born, I read over 150 middle-grade, young adult, and adult books per year. Now I probably read that many picture books.
- I have the best two jobs I could imagine: Young Adult Librarian and Writer.
- My husband has a gluten allergy and I make a mean gluten-free focaccia bread.
- I am a lifelong fan of Muppets and remember the day I heard Jim Henson died.
- Most embarrassing moment as a teen: In sixth grade when the boy sitting behind me in math class told everyone he couldn’t see the board because my hair was too big. (I was already self-conscious about my frizzy hair.)
