Book Description:
And you thought last summer was hot?

Your favorite bikini-clad au pairs -- good-girl- turned-It-Girl Mara, spoiled Eliza, and Brazilian bombshell Jacqui -- are back for another season of skinny-dipping in Georgica Pond, tanning on Main Beach, and oh, yeah, babysitting for the Perry kids too. The au pairs think they're ready for another summer of outrageous fun, but a lot of things have changed since last year....

Mara dumped Ryan, the über-hot older brother of the kids she's babysitting, and opted out of spending winter break in Palm Beach with the family. Now she wants him back, but is he hers for the taking?

Eliza and Jeremy agreed to see other people at the end of last summer, but Eliza's done a lot more than look at other boys...namely Ryan Perry. Can Eliza keep their Palm Beach hookup a secret from Mara?

Jacqui managed to stick to her no-more-boys rule all year, but when she meets the Perry's newest au pair, Philippe, a gorgeous French guy, she's not so sure she'll be able to maintain her resolve. After all, aren't rules made to be broken?

This summer Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui will manage to find trouble (and a party!) wherever they go. But if they're not careful, their friendships, their guys, and their perfect summer jobs could fade away faster than last year's tans.

Our beloved au pairs are back for another summer in the smokin' hot Hamptons. This summer, however, things are going to be a little different. Eliza's not working with Jacqui and Mara anymore for the Perrys; instead, she's gotten herself a bad-paying but prestigious job at the hottest new nighclub, and Philippe, a sexy French guy, is the new au pair, one that Jacqui can't seem to keep her hands away from, despite her No Boys rule.

Mara broke up with Ryan because she feels like she doesn't deserve him, but seeing him with other girls still hurts. Luckily, there's Garrett Reynolds, who likes her because she's fun, which is what Mara decides to be in order to make Ryan jealous.

Little does she know that over winter break, Eliza hooked up with Ryan. They're not officially seeing each other, more like friends with benefits, seeing as how both are still stuck on different people: Ryan on Mara, and Eliza on Jeremy, her ex-boyfriend-slash-gardener-turned-businessman. But Jeremy seems distant, and her parents are acting like snobs because he's not in the same class as them.

With all the secrets and unspoken words going around, is it any wonder that these love triangles and friendships are poised to explode? SKINNY DIPPING keeps up the same rapid, fun pace that Melissa de la Cruz set in the first book of this addictive series.
