Just a Little Crush
by Renita PizzitolaGood girls stay away from Ryder Briggs . . . or, at least, they try to. In the first emotional novel of heartache and seduction in Renita Pizzitola's Crush series, one college freshman just can't get enough. Brinley Dawson doesn't drink, she studies--and despite the accusations of her alcoholic mother, she's still a virgin. But if Brinley's life is so put together, why is she freaking out to be going to college with the gorgeous, green-eyed jerk she kissed on a stupid dare in high school? Ryder Briggs can have any girl he wants . . . and the rumors say that he does. So why, after publicly embarrassing Brinley four years ago, is he suddenly acting like he's interested? Ryder never forgot Brinley. In fact, those perfect seven minutes permanently raised the bar for what a kiss could be. The truth is, Ryder doesn't dare get too close to anyone. He knows how that worked out for his parents. But when his roommate takes a shot at Brinley, Ryder can't contain his jealousy. Now he must do the hardest thing he's ever done: forget about sex and convince Brinley his feelings are real. Brinley isn't sure whether she believes Ryder, but for the first time, her body isn't playing by the rules. Then she discovers that she's an unwilling part of a cruel game, humiliating her all over again--and Ryder might be to blame. Has Brinley's little crush turned into a huge mistake . . . or has she found the one guy worth trusting with her heart?Praise for Just a Little Crush "Brinley and Ryder are the perfect combination of sweet and hot.

Just a Little Flirt
by Renita PizzitolaSaying yes has always come easy for Fallon. Now, as Renita Pizzitola's steamy, poignant Crush series continues, winning her dream job means saying no to the guy she wants the most. Between all the parties and random hook-ups, Fallon Carr is this close to flunking out of college. But her internship working with pediatric patients means the world to her--especially since, at the end of the summer, one lucky intern will be offered a paid position. Determined to leave her bad reputation behind, Fallon even takes a bet that she won't sleep with anyone from work. But there's one little catch. . . . Not only is Cade Ryan the hottest guy Fallon has ever laid eyes on, he's a therapy dog handler who volunteers his time to visit kids at the hospital. So when he starts pursuing her, Fallon can't believe her bad timing. The thing is, Cade is different. He's not like the college guys who see her as a one-night stand, or the high-school boyfriend who took a part of her she can never get back. Cade genuinely wants to spend time with her--and not just between the sheets. Fallon won't let her growing feelings for Cade get in the way of her dreams. Besides, no guy can break down the walls she put up long ago. So what's the harm in a little flirting? It's not like she's falling in love. But she may have seriously underestimated how complicated things can get when the perfect guy falls for her first.Praise for Renita Pizzitola's Just a Little Crush "Brinley and Ryder are the perfect combination of sweet and hot.
