    About this ebook

    Brooklyn Prescott (at least that's what it says on her passport) was living the life of a boring, unnoticeable girl. She was almost invisible at the school in London that she'd been attending for the past two years since her family moved from the States for her father's job. Nearly friendless and definitely boyfriendless, Brooklyn is gearing up to start her junior year when her father drops a huge bomb: she's returning to the States on her own to attend an exclusive boarding school. Because high school isn't hard enough, she's about to become the new girl at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence, a school for the kids of the rich and famous. Terrified of what that's going to mean for her social life (though really, it couldn't be much worse) Brooklyn knows she has no choice and prepares herself for whatever is to come.

    But the trip back to America--what promised to be a long and boring overseas flight--is anything but boring and instead turns into the kind of pivotal experience a girl will remember forever.

    For new readers, enjoy this introduction to The Rosewoods, an exciting romantic Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories. And for loyal fans of the series, enjoy this peek at what happened before Taking the Reins.

      Fresh Start - Katrina Abbott

      Brooklyn

      You’re going back to the States.

      My fork halted halfway to my mouth, the peas sliding off and back onto my plate as I looked up at my father incredulously.

      What? I asked, even though I’d heard him perfectly well. Just that when he’d opened his mouth half a second ago, I’d expected him to ask for the salt or for me to pass the platter of ham. But this. This wasn’t food-related. This wasn’t even boring news-of-the-day related. This was life-related. And huge at that.

      You’re going back to the States, he repeated, his face serious, which quashed my follow up question of: You’re kidding, right?

      As I sat there, I analyzed what he’d said because he was a very literal guy and he always meant every single word he said. Not we’re going back. You’re going back. Big difference. Because if I was going back on my own, I wasn’t returning to our old life in Denver; the only reason we’d been there was because Dad had worked at Buckley Air Force Base, and if he wasn’t returning to the area, I seriously doubted I would be.

      I’d always known it was a possibility that I’d end up moving again, but I guess after two years in London I’d started to get used to the idea of staying in one place indefinitely. Never permanently, I guess, but for an extended stretch. At least long enough to finish high school. But no, that wasn’t going to happen. Instead, I was getting shipped back to America to start over. Because high school alone wasn’t hard enough and now I was going to start at a new one halfway through.

      What about you? I asked, looking between him and my mother as we sat in our London flat over what was now
