Lila and Austin have known each other since she befriended his younger brother when she was a toddler. In fact, since her parents moved from her hometown, Lila's lived with Austin's family. The two are friends, though more of the teasing, taunting breed than the BFF variety. But all it takes is one moment for everything to change... For Austin, that moment comes when Lila performs a rumba in the school's auditorium to qualify for the state dance competition, the young woman on stage so far-removed from the little girl in his memories. For Lila, the moment is a reflected image of Austin preparing for prom, the guy standing in front of his mirror hardly resembling the child that spent so much of his youth pestering her. Will they find a way to admit to themselves and their families that their feelings are deeper than friendship? And can Lila focus on this building relationship - and deal with her unstable ex - and still win the dance contest?

Every year on midsummer's night, seven-year-old fairies are sent into the forest neighboring Ariashon, their kingdom. The magic of that place and the night's enchantment unite to give color to what have been plain throughout the fairies' whole lives-their wings! This year is Kiara's turn, the youngest and most mischievous of Ariashon's princesses, and she must be careful, be curious, and be brave if she wants to earn as many colors as possible for her wings. This is a prequel to the Paranormal Romance, In Your Wings, explaining how Kiara came to have the most vibrant wings of her people. It can also be read as a stand-alone for younger audiences.
