Just a little (part two)

A compilation of the next four novellas in the series: Just a Little Insecurity, Just a Little Surprise, Just a Little Honesty, and Just a Little Reminder. JUST A LITTLE INSECURITY Everything is not what it seems, and seventeen-year-old Julie is learning that lesson the hard way. Matt is lying through his teeth at every given opportunity, and Julie believes there?s more to his secrecy than meets the eye; she?s convinced her cousin is cheating on Kara. And Matt is the least of her worries. Luke has been just as dodgy; he comes and goes as he pleases, ignores her calls, and is caught sneaking around with one of Oakland?s newest?and undeniably beautiful?residents. With no real certainties in her life, Julie enlists the help of a friend to help her expose the truth? no matter what it may cost them in the end. JUST A LITTLE SURPRISE Julie?s eighteenth birthday is just around the corner, and there?s nothing she?d like more than to just forget about showing up for the (not-so-surprise) ?party of the century? that her uncle has been planning for weeks. So between dodging Charlie, avoiding Luke, and ignoring nearly every one of her deep-seated feelings for the men in her life, she has more on her plate than she?s ever willing to admit. But when an unexpected phone call from an old friend comes completely out of the blue, Julie can?t help but wonder if every surprise is really all that bad?. JUST A LITTLE HONESTY When a prison break puts a dangerous convict on the loose, eighteen-year-old Julie Little is faced with making the biggest decision of her life: run away, or face her biggest fear. And when her Uncle Charlie puts forth a plan to have Detective Bruno get her out of Oakland (and as far away from the danger as possible), she?s in no hurry to put up a fight. But when a sudden change of plans demands Bruno?s attention at home, Julie?s suddenly left to escape with no one but Officer Lucas Reibeck himself. And their escape is only the beginning?. JUST A LITTLE REMINDER After watching Conan?s lifeless body collapse to the floor, eighteen-year-old Julie Little only expected life to get easier. After all, what was left to fear? But her expectations for a happier and easier life crumble when she?s haunted by reoccurring nightmares of love, loss, and death. She?s slipping away, losing herself. And when she needs nothing more than a shoulder to cry on, nearly everyone around her is suddenly consumed with their own problems and fears. Only one person steps up, and he?s the only person who has what it?s going to take to save her? she just has to learn to let go and trust him? once and for all.
