Skinny-Dipping (Au Pairs Series #2) » (~)

Melissa de la Cruz is the author of the novel Cat's Meow and the co-author of How to Become Famous in Two Weeks or Less. Her work has been translated into several languages. She writes regularly for Marie Claire, Gotham, Hamptons, and Lifetime magazines and has contributed to the New York Times, Glamour, Allure, and McSweeney's. She recently moved from New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband. She has never dared use her cell phone on the Hampton Jitney. This is not her dog.

Mara dumped Ryan, the über-hot older brother of the kids she's babysitting, and opted out of spending winter break in Palm Beach with the family. Now she wants him back, but is he hers for the taking?

Eliza and Jeremy agreed to see other people at the end of last summer, but Eliza's done a lot more than look at other boys...namely Ryan Perry. Can Eliza keep their Palm Beach hookup a secret from Mara?

Jacqui managed to stick to her no-more-boys rule all year, but when she meets the Perry's newest au pair, Philippe, a gorgeous French guy, she's not so sure she'll be able to maintain her resolve. After all, aren't rules made to be broken?

This summer Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui will manage to find trouble (and a party!) wherever they go. But if they're not careful, their friendships, their guys, and their perfect summer jobs could fade away faster than last year's tans.
