Book Description:
This summer's not just hot...it's crazy hot.

It's been a year since the hottest au pairs ever saw the Hamptons, and they're certainly older -- though not necessarily wiser. Or drama-free.

Eliza, Jacqui, and Mara thought they'd be spending the summer apart, but when Eliza's new stepmother finds herself in need of some nannying help around the megamansion with the step-monsters, Eliza makes a call...and Jacqui and Mara wind up with two first-class tickets to the Hamptons.

After ruling her first year at Parsons, Eliza, the up-and-coming starlet-turned-designer, is opening her own boutique on super posh Main Street. But it's not just Eliza's career that's on the fast track -- her relationship with Jeremy is too. Too bad he's moving too fast for Eliza to keep up.

Brazilian beauty Jacqui is trying to be a good, responsible au pair. But it's tough when there's a hot British photographer following you around, telling you to quit your job and become an international supermodel. All she wants is to make enough money to pay for NYU...so what happens when she gets a much bigger offer?

After getting fired from her travel-writing job and dumped at the airport by her journalist boyfriend, Mara settles for a summer chasing toddlers once again. There's one benefit to nannying: She'll have plenty of material for the novel she's writing about being an au pair -- and an It Girl -- in the Hamptons. Nothing's going to distract her from the task at hand...except perhaps her old flame, Ryan Perry.

Can our three favorite Hamptons girls survive the craziest, hottest summer yet?

"They're older, but not necessarily wiser." That's the tagline as the world's favorite au pairs come back to the Hamptons for one last summer fling.

Eliza had a successful freshman year at Parsons and is now opening her own store in the Hamptons. It's hard for her to juggle publicizing her store and her relationship with Jeremy, however, both of which are moving forward at lightning speed, but only one of which she is certain about for now.

Jacqui finished up her fifth year of high school and is excited to finally attend her dream school, NYU. She falls under the charm of two Australian photographer brothers who try to convince her to try out modeling, something she's always hated. And Mara suffers what appears to be a setback when her plans to travel Europe as a journalist with her boyfriend David fall to pieces when her passport expires. Stuck with what she believes will be a crappy summer, she agrees to act as au pair for Eliza's stepmom's five children, along with Jacqui.

CRAZY HOT promises a hopeful future for the three friends, full of love, success, and passion.

It's always hot in the Hamptons, but this year it's CRAZY HOT with the three girls together again.

Just when they thought they would be separated for the summer, once again fate brought them together. Mara and Jacqui are actually au pairing for Eliza's father's new wife. Eliza herself is busy opening up her own store, filled with her fabulous clothes. Of course, her two best friends agree to model for the opening and Jacqui catches one photographer's eye.

Before the girls have time to process the possibilities, the photographer decides that he wants to shoot Eliza's clothes with Jacqui as the premiere model for Vogue. Jacqui's not too sure she wants to be in the modeling business, but Eliza begs her. And soon enough the two girls are off to parties and shoots, leaving Mara to deal with the kids alone.

Mara's feeling left out. Eliza feels crazed with the store, and Jeremy's wishes for the future leave her feeling scared and confused. Jacqui feels like this summer is shaping up the rest of her life, but it isn't the life that she thought she wanted.

Sisterhood means knowing your friends and sharing the truth with them, even if the truth is something they're not yet ready to hear. When the girls have a bang-up fight, it's time for them to find steady footing on their own and to trust in themselves.
