Publisher Comments:

Poor girls.

Lydia is not used to working for her money. But having money? She’s used to that—and lots of it. Now that she’s in La-La Land, Lydia will do whatever it takes to maintain the L.A. lifestyle she was born to have. If it means she has to tell a few little lies to get there, well, a Hollywood girl’s gotta do what a Hollywood girl’s gotta do, right?

Rich Boys.

Being with Jonathan is playing with fuego. Everything about him spells trouble for Esme, from his trendy hybrid car to his expensive clothes to his so-called ex, Mackenzie. What’s worse is it seems that he wants to keep Esme hidden away, a secret. Doesn’t a guy who likes you want to show you off? Unless you’re just being used.

Richer Girls.

Anyone who’s anyone will be at Fab, the exclusive party that wraps up L.A.’s fashion week. That’s why Platinum—neurotic music superstar and Kiley’s new boss—is desperate to snag an invite. Kiley has the unlikely power to make it happen . . . or say good-bye to her California summer.

Synopsis:

Good girls.

Life in La Crosse couldn't be any blah-er. Kiley's way out? A pricey school in California that she can only afford if she's a resident of the Golden State. That's why she's on "Platinum Nanny, vying for the chance to work for a wacko rock star-or be sent home nationally humiliated.

Wild girls.

Lydia has spent eight years stuck in the Amazon with her do-gooding parents. When her aunt offers her a lifeline-babysitting in posh Bel Air-Lydia hops the next plane to civilization. Pucci sandals, poolside cabanas, clubbing in Hollywood It spots-was there even a question she'd accept? Now she just has to find a cute pool boy to make up for all that lost time. . . .

Wilder boys.

Moving into the guesthouse of one of Beverly Hills' most powerful families isn't exactly what Esme had in mind for a summer job. Neither was losing her head over Jonathan, her new boss's almost famous (and already hot) son. Safe to say her boyfriend isn't going to like this.

Grab your sunglasses and welcome to "The Nannies, a crazy world of Hollyweird backstabbing and skyscraping palm trees, spoiled tots and private swim lessons. But how hard can a nanny job be?

After all, eight to four is kid time. After that? It's our time.

"From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis:

In this follow-up to "The Nannies," Lydia is not used to working for her money. But having money? She's used to that. Now that she's in La-La Land, Lydia will do whatever it takes to maintain the L.A. lifestyle she was born to have, even if it means she has to tell a few little lies to get there.
