A Summer Like
No Other (Broken Dreams: Em & Nick #1)
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance (novella)
Pages: 125
Release Date: July 30th 2015
Summary from Goodreads:
She’s his best
friend’s little sister. He’s the biggest player of them all.
They shouldn’t be together. But this summer’s just too tempting.
Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti’s goal for the summer is simple: forget her
brother’s best friend—Nick Grawsky—ever existed. It should be easy: He’s
spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list
of broken hearts. Guarantee he won’t be telling them they’re like his little
sisters. This summer, Emilia won’t stay awake at night thinking about him.
She’ll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year’s showcase,
and she’s finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides
to stay in the city, Emilia’s resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it’s the
spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn’t get stuck believing in
happily ever after…
Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let’s-have-fun guy. His father
wants him to change his career from professional dancer to…lawyer. He needs to
put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he’s good enough to
make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of
Emilia. She’s off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty
thoughts he has about her. Besides, he’s not boyfriend material. He only has
time for flings, for girls who don’t expect much, for girls he doesn’t want to
kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he’s not sure he wants to…
At least for this summer.
It’s going to be a summer like no other.

Summary from Goodreads:
Sometimes being first isn’t what you expected.
Seventeen-year-old ballerina Emilia Moretti is tired of always being second
best. And she’s going to prove the world she deserves to be first. In her
upcoming School of the Performing Arts showcase. In the eyes of her birth
parents. And in the heart of the guy she loves. She spends hours rehearsing,
hours dreaming about becoming number one, hours imagining how her entire life
is about to change. But when nothing goes the way she planned, she’ll need to
realize what it really means to be first.
Eighteen-year-old Nick Grawski doesn’t want to follow Daddy Dearest’s rules any
longer. He's going to prove he's meant to be a dancer—not a lawyer—and he is
not going to stay away from Em just because his father demands it. He needs to
show Em that—this time around—he’s there to stay and that he won’t break her
heart again. Even when her world goes down to shit, even when he finds out his
dad may have been trying to protect him all along, even if being there for one
another is harder than falling in love.
ALWAYS SECOND BEST is a novel of hope and heartbreak and broken dreams. It’s a
novel about falling in love and discovering that being first isn’t always what
matters.
