My name is Dante' Walker. My job is so awesome. I mean I got the looks, the hair, the money, the whole package. I put that guy Rob Pattinson to shame. Come to think of it, I should be on the cover of GQ. There's only one problem; I'm dead. Oh I know. Talk about killing the moment! Sorry ladies. I would've given you a chance! I'm what they call The Collector. For some reason this year I'm totally off  my game. Boss Man isn't very happy with me. I'm putting that mildly.  Boss Man tells me he has a plan.  He has given me 10 days. Ten days to what? Now I'm scratching my head. I have to go and find a seventeen year old girl? Of all people in the world I'm asking myself why? Get this! To top that off she isn't even pretty. Talk about giving a guy hell in a hand basket. And I have to whoo her. UGH. There goes the neighborhood...

OMG! I am not saying any more. I laughed. I cried. All I can say is pick up the book and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Now if I only had the second one in my hands I would be happy.

But what fun would that have been? She craves to be around normal people who don't have a clue of who she is. Hope, Florida is a very small town. Everybody knows each other's business. It doesn't take very long for the residents to catch an eye of a fancy car and the driver who wears four inch stilettos. She ignores all the stares and tries to go to her classes unnoticed. Pretty soon everyone is asking for her autograph. Students are trying to get her picture. With a help of a student named Ethan and his stepbrother Stephan, they are able to break the crowd up.

 

When she tries to say thank you to one of the boys Stephan looks back saying to her "You need to watch out where you're going Blondie." The joke gets under her skin. She hopes she never sees him again. As she is in study hall trying to figure out a math problem Scarlett feels a pencil being poked at the back of her neck. It's him. The one with the Blondie jokes, Stephan. She didn't know going to high school would be so hard. And today is only her first day! Will she make it through her senior year? Or will she go back on tour with a tutor?
