About the book...
Their prom night ended in a jail cell with forty of their closest friends. But that’s hardly the worst thing that happened to them…
When the principal announces prom is canceled this year, senior Riley Hart is determined to save it. Armed with little more than her own enthusiasm, she ends up working closely with Owen Locklear, who is more than completely off-limits. Because he’s the boyfriend of her ex-BFF, Catherine Reed. Still, Owen knows Riley better than almost anyone, and his charming ideas for turning the prom upside-down and backward win Riley over.
Catherine is willing to join Owen and Riley on the prom committee, but only because her legacy as prom queen is at stake. She’s already suffocating under the weight of her parents’ expectations for after senior year, and compared to that, ensuring prom happens should be easy. At least until everything starts to go wrong.
First they lose their deposit. Then they book a band full of octogenarians. And lose their venue... Twice.
Riley will have an unforgettable teenage experience, damn it, if it’s the last thing she does…

~~~ EXCERPT ~~~
CATHERINE –SIX WEEKS UNTIL PROM
I
order a coffee for the road and head across the parking lot before
turning left onto the main thoroughfare in front of Starbucks.
My
thoughts turn to my ever-growing list of things to do, but after my
call with Owen, finding potential prom sponsors gets knocked to the
top. The scent of warm cinnamon wafts from the bakery across the
street, giving me an idea. I grab my phone and snap a picture of the
large gilded window stocked with tiered plates displaying this
afternoon’s fresh baked goods. Then I turn to my right and capture
the phone number screen printed across the blue and white striped
awning above Hamilton Custom Tees. Farther down is Riley’s parents’
photography studio, and beyond that is the simple, yet elegant
storefront of Posies & Petals.
Wrapped
up in capturing the names and phone numbers of local business I hope
will be sympathetic to our cause, I don’t notice a car slowing
beside me until a voice calls out, “Need a lift?”
Startled,
I turn to find Jordon Oswald in an ancient monstrosity of a car
making so much noise, I can’t believe he snuck up on me. His lanky
frame is hunched, wrists resting atop the steering wheel. He shakes
his head to get his dark blond hair out of his eyes.
“Um,
sure?”
Jordon
is your basic nerd, but we’ve done several school plays and
musicals together, and he’s a decent guy. He reaches a long arm
across the front seat and opens the door for me. I climb in and
search for a cup holder to put my drink in, but there doesn’t seem
to be one.
“Here,”
Jordon says, reaching for my cup.
I
hand it to him and grab for a seat belt, coming up empty-handed.
Jordon
chuckles. “It’s just a lap belt. Down on your right.”
Good
lord, what have I gotten myself into? This is a death trap. My
fingers fumble with the buckle, which is similar to the ones on
airplanes, and tighten it until I can barely breathe. Jordon hands me
back my cup, and I grip it with my left hand while I grab onto the
armrest on the door with my right. The car rumbles even louder when
Jordon presses the gas pedal.
“What
is this thing?” I ask, inclining my head toward the dash so he
knows I mean the car.
“This
thing is a pristine 1966 Pontiac GTO. And her name is Sarah.”
“Ohh-kay.”
Duly noted. His nerdiness has just hit a new level.
