About this series
Alex Wolf should be on top of the world. He's engaged to a popular Supermodel, about to head off on a world tour with his band, Better Than Decent, and he makes more money than he can spend—but he can't stop thinking about the girl who got away. It's been eight years, and Autumn Sommers still haunts him. He'd give anything to see her again, but with no contact after so long, it feels hopeless—until Alex is surprised with some news.
Autumn Sommers wishes she could forget the past. She hasn't seen Alex Wolf since high school, but she hears his voice all too often. It's hard ignoring the lead singer of Better Than Decent, but being a waitress in a gossipy small-town diner doesn't help. Autumn knows that what happened between her and her old boyfriend ended a long time ago—until he walks into her restaurant.
It doesn't take Alex long to break off his engagement, but once news of the split is leaked, a media frenzy erupts. Determined to clear Autumn's name, Alex brings her to L.A., but things don't go as smoothly as he'd hoped. Not used to the demands of a celebrity life, Autumn struggles to find her ground, especially alongside a former foe. With the world watching, she's forced to face how she became the iconic A.M.S.—and if her relationship with Alex is going to last this time.

1
Autumn Sommers wants to forget what happened on the bus. It's been three years, but avoiding Alex Wolf has become standard, especially since everyone knows about his sketchbook—and the drawings of her inside. The incident followed them from junior-high and now, in their sophomore year, the two have been paired on a project. Autumn just wants to get through it. She needs to maintain her grades to keep her terrible Aunt Milly from moving back in, but working with Alex might be impossible since they have to pretend to be a couple for their assignment. Forced to put their past on hold, the two focus on their fictitious relationship until the lines between real and fake get blurred, and they discover there might be some truth to the façade. But things have changed since seventh grade. Alex has a secret, and it could mean the end of their new friendship…and more.
- Better Than Now: Better Than This, #2
2
With the talent show behind them, Autumn and Alex can finally begin their relationship. It took a school assignment, but they've managed to move beyond their awkward past to become one of the most popular—and gossiped-about—couples in school. Dating was supposed to be the easy part, but now that they've been plunged into the spotlight, Autumn isn't sure she can keep up. Things at home aren't any better. Being grounded already sucks, but when her mom outright refuses the idea of Alex, things only get worse. It isn't until a family secret is exposed that Autumn understands the depth of her mom's disapproval, and the role it plays in her future with Alex. With all the attention at school and her lack of support at home, Autumn fears for her relationship. She knows that for everything to work out, something drastic will have to change, and when it does, she's faced with a choice that determines the rest of her life.
