Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Ooh la la! A historical rom-com with a modern twist--perfect for fans of Bridgerton, A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, and She's All That.
Evie Clement has perfected the art of avoiding attention as she works at her family's bakery and dreams of a life where she can trade dusting flour for designing dresses. Her focus is on honing her sewing skills--she doesn't need to be fawned over by some teenage boy.
Least of all Beau Bellegarde--the playboy of Paris, the second son of the ultra-wealthy Bellegarde family, the most popular guy in their prestigious high school. Others may swoon over his rakish charm and winning smile, but not Evie.
Unfortunately for Evie, Beau needs her. His conniving step-brother has roped him into an impossible bet: turn the biggest wallflower they know into the winning Bellegarde Bloom at the annual Court of Flowers Ball, or lose his entire fortune.
Evie can't understand why Beau has taken an interest in her, but she can't help but be intrigued...
Can love bloom in the most unexpected of places?
"The She's All That historical romance retelling of my dreams! When I wasn't savoring the lush, descriptive prose, I was eagerly devouring the smart, perfectly paced, heart-pounding romance. There's no doubt about it: Jamie Lilac makes a sparkling debut." --Brian Kennedy, author of A Little Bit Country
Ages 13 up. HarperTeen.
Grades 10-12. HarperTeen.
Told in alternating voices, in eighteenth-century France, popular ultra-wealthy teen, Beau Bellegarde, bets he can transform working-class Evie into school royalty.
Beau Bellegarde, a second-born son, makes a deal: if he can turn Evie Clément, the unapproachable baker's daughter, into the winner of the Court Ball, making her the most desired bachelorette in Paris, he inherits the family fortune, but his target has plans of her own.
