Au Pairs series by Melissa De La Cruz
SUMMER AU PAIRS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY For four energetic children, between 3 and 10 years old. Join a NYC family for the best summer of your life in East Hampton, July 4-Labor Day. Pay: $10,000.00 Driver's license a must. Familiarity with the Hamptons, a plus. Send resumes and head shots to HamptonsAuPairs@yahoo.com Meet Mara Waters, Eliza Thompson, and Jacqui Velasco -- new au pairs for one of New York City's wealthiest families -- who will spend their summer in one of the most posh, most exclusive spots for summer summering: the Hamptons. For good girl Mara, this job is a way out of another go-slow Massachusetts summer. Eliza, New York City's former It Girl, knows this is the fast lane back to the stylish world she wishes she'd never left. And for Brazilian bombshell Jacqui, it's a boarding pass back to her American love who told her he'd e-mail as soon as he got home, and didn't. After all, how hard can an au pair job be? Slap sunscreen on the kids during the day and party at the coolest hot spots at night, right?Wrong. While Eliza is desperately trying to hide her baby-sitting job from her superspoiled friends who think she's still just as rich as she used to be, Mara's getting awfully cozy with the kids' extremely attractive older brother, Ryan.

But to do it they'll have to stick together. And that's where things definitely get sticky.

KEYNOTE For the readers of Gossip Girl, here is a scandalous and juicy new series about the lives of rich and famous teens in Beverly Hills. DESCRIPTION Following in the footsteps of Gossip Girl, The Princess Diaries, and Sex in the City, The A-List is a hot new series of stand-alone original paperback novels that takes readers behind the scenes of the intoxicating world of Hollywood glitterati. Seventeen year-old Upper East Side blueblood Anna ("pronounced Aaanah") Percy is on her way to Beverly Hills, CA, where she'll live with her estranged dad for the rest of the school year while her mother travels to Europe with a friend. On the plane, Anna drinks too much champagne and gets hit on by record producer Rick Resnick. Luckily Princeton student Ben Birnbaum is there to save her-and Anne and Ben come this close to joining the mile-high club. Ben invites Anna to famous actor Billy Sharpe's wedding where Anna meets the cast of rich and famous characters who are soon to be her classmates at Beverly Hills High School. And little does Anna know her date to the wedding is the recent ex-boyfriend of one of the three rulers of Beverly Hills High, super-agent Richard Shepard's beautiful and manipulative daughter, Cammie.
Au Pairs series by Melissa De La Cruz
SUMMER AU PAIRS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY For four energetic children, between 3 and 10 years old. Join a NYC family for the best summer of your life in East Hampton, July 4-Labor Day. Pay: $10,000.00 Driver's license a must. Familiarity with the Hamptons, a plus. Send resumes and head shots to HamptonsAuPairs@yahoo.com Meet Mara Waters, Eliza Thompson, and Jacqui Velasco -- new au pairs for one of New York City's wealthiest families -- who will spend their summer in one of the most posh, most exclusive spots for summer summering: the Hamptons. For good girl Mara, this job is a way out of another go-slow Massachusetts summer. Eliza, New York City's former It Girl, knows this is the fast lane back to the stylish world she wishes she'd never left. And for Brazilian bombshell Jacqui, it's a boarding pass back to her American love who told her he'd e-mail as soon as he got home, and didn't. After all, how hard can an au pair job be? Slap sunscreen on the kids during the day and party at the coolest hot spots at night, right?Wrong. While Eliza is desperately trying to hide her baby-sitting job from her superspoiled friends who think she's still just as rich as she used to be, Mara's getting awfully cozy with the kids' extremely attractive older brother, Ryan. And Jacqui is heartbroken when she discovers that the love of her life may have been nothing more than a spring fling. If the girls can manage au pair duties -- all the while mastering the ins and outs of the Hamptons' social scene -- it might just turn out to be the most incredible summer of their lives. But to do it they'll have to stick together. And that's where things definitely get sticky.
