Here's the blurb:
It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella
Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a
mother. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country
and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young
child. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new stepfamily,
she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and
emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is, she’s not ready yet. The
only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one
person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her—her anonymous
Internet best friend, Cinder.
…
Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being
trouble. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The
Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from
teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild
days behind and become a mature adult. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s
bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his
co-star Kaylee. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement—or his fake
fiancée—but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar
nomination. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes
everything.
Teaser excerpt:
“You do have someone who cares,” he said softly. “No matter
how bad things are at home or at school or whatever, you have me. You’re my
best friend, too. You have my number now. Save it in your phone and call it
anytime—day, night, the witching hour—it doesn’t matter. Okay?”
It took me a moment—and a series of deep breaths—before I could
respond. “Okay.”
“Promise?”
“I promise. As long as I always have you, I’ll be fine.” I
kicked myself internally and laughed. “Wow, that sounded really cheesy. You
see? That’s why I didn’t want to call you. I can filter my stupid mouth so much
better when I have to type out my thoughts.”
Cinder laughed again. “Ah, but then you would miss out on
all the sweet nothings I plan to whisper in your ear now that I know how much
you like my ultra-sexy voice.”
I blushed but refused to let him know that his flirting
rattled me. “I never said ultra, you egomaniac. But you should definitely
consider recording audiobooks for a living.”
“Hmm. That’s not a bad idea.” Cinder’s voice dropped to that
slow, seductive purr again as he asked, “Would you like me to read to you,
Ellamara?”
I thrilled at the thought and couldn’t quite mask my
excitement. “Seriously?”
“Why not? Before you called, I was getting ready to have a
Top Gear marathon all by my lonesome.”
“You are such a liar. Tonight is Friday night, and it’s
Halloween. There is no way you don’t have plans.”
“I don’t have important ones. It’s just a stupid party that
my sort-of girlfriend wants me to go to.”
“Your ‘sort-of’ girlfriend?”
“Yeah.” Cinder stretched the word out in a long breath.
“It’s a long story, but I’m not that into her. I’d much rather stay home and
read with you. Besides, I can’t hang up on you when you’ve had the worst day
ever. What kind of best friend would that make me?”
I almost cried again. The offer was so sweet. And
thoughtful. Reading was a passion Cinder and I shared. We read and discussed
books all the time. We’d even decided to read the same book at the same time
before, but we’d never read one together. Cinder had to know how much that
would mean to me.
“It has to be The Druid Prince,” I said.
Cinder laughed. “It’s already in my hands.”
