My New Crush Gave to Me

He's a star athlete, a member of the National Honor Society, invited to every party, and a contributor to the school paper (where Charlie is co-editor). Basically, he's exactly the type of guy Charlie's looking for. The only problem - he barely knows she exists. But Charlie has a plan: Rig the paper's Secret Santa and win his heart with five perfect gifts. Enter J.D. Ortiz - Teo's cousin, and possibly the most annoying person on the planet. He's easy going, laid back, unorganized, and spontaneous-the exact opposite of Charlie (and Teo). But he knows what Teo wants, so she's stuck with him. Yet the more time Charlie spends with J.D. the more she starts to wonder: Does she really know what, or rather who, she wants for Christmas?




Christmas with a Prince


Book Description

I might be a former party girl and the over-indulged daughter of a multi-millionaire, but for the last few years I've been trying to be work hard and be good. I have enough right now to deal with--graduate school, my community literacy program, preparations for Christmas, and my dad's constant attempts to find me a husband. I definitely don't want to put up with Henry always hanging around, acting obnoxious and looking far too sexy. My boss forced me to take on Henry as a literacy volunteer for the month of December. I don't know anything about him except he's from somewhere in Europe, and he's spoiled, entitled, arrogant, stubborn... and incredibly hot. He's the kind of guy I've been trying to stay away from. Plus he's got a secret--something he's hiding from me. Now I can't think of anything but him, and I'm stuck with him until Christmas is over.
