The Au Pairs (Book 1)

SUMMER AU PAIRS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY
For four energetic children, between 3 and 10 years old. Join a NYC family for the best summer of your life in East Hampton, July 4 - Labor Day.
Pay: $10,000.00
Driver’s license a must.
Familiarity with the Hamptons, a plus.
Send resumes and head shots to HamptonsAuPairs@yahoo.com
Meet Mara Waters, Eliza Thompson, and Jacqui Velasco—new au pairs for one of New York City’s wealthiest families—who will spend their summer in one of the most posh, most exclusive spots for summer summering: the Hamptons.
For good girl Mara, this job is a way out of another go-slow Massachusetts summer. Eliza, New York City’s former It Girl, knows this is the fast lane back to the stylish world she wishes she’d never left. And for Brazilian bombshell Jacqui, it’s a boarding pass back to her American love who told her he’d e-mail as soon as he got home, and didn’t.
After all, how hard can an au pair job be? Slap sunscreen on the kids during the day and party at the coolest hot spots at night, right? Wrong.
While Eliza is desperately trying to hide her baby-sitting job from her superspoiled friends who think she’s still just as rich as she used to be, Mara’s getting awfully cozy with the kids’ extremely attractive older brother, Ryan. And Jacqui is heartbroken when she discovers that the love of her life may have been nothing more than a spring fling.
If the girls can manage au pair duties—all the while mastering the ins and outs of the Hamptons’ social scene—it might just turn out to be the most incredible summer of their lives. But to do it they’ll have to stick together. And that’s where things definitely get sticky.

The Au Pairs: Skinny Dipping (Book 2)

Your favorite bikini-clad au pairs—good-girl-turned-It-Girl Mara, spoiled Eliza, and Brazilian bombshell Jacqui—are back for another season of skinny-dipping in Georgica Pond, tanning on Main Beach, and oh, yeah, babysitting for the Perry kids too. The au pairs think they’re ready for another summer of outrageous fun, but a lot of things have changed since last year....
Mara dumped Ryan, the uber-hot older brother of the kids she’s babysitting, and opted out of spending winter break in Palm Beach with the family. Now she wants him back, but is he hers for the taking?
Eliza and Jeremy agreed to see other people at the end of last summer, but Eliza’s done a lot more than look at other boys...namely Ryan Perry. Can Eliza keep their Palm Beach hookup a secret from Mara?
Jacqui managed to stick to her no-more-boys rule all year, but when she meets the Perry’s newest au pair, Philippe, a gorgeous French guy, she’s not so sure she’ll be able to maintain her resolve. After all, aren’t rules made to be broken?
This summer Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui will manage to find trouble (and a party!) wherever they go. But if they’re not careful, their friendships, their guys, and their perfect summer jobs could fade away faster than last year’s tans.

The Au Pairs: Sun Kissed (Book 3)

The three hottest au pairs in history are back, and this time they’re ready to rule the Hamptons. Mara has all the VIP’s in the hottest clubs hanging on her every word, Eliza’s family is back from financial ruin; and she’s got the platinum charge cards to prove it. Jacqui is newly single and ready for some steamy summer hook-ups. The girls seems to have it all this summer...but looks, as we know, can be deceiving.
Mara’s living every girl’s dream: playing house with her boyfriend, Ryan Perry, on his parents’ luxury yacht while writing a column about nightlife in the Hamptons. With a press pass to every hot event, Mara’s ready to hit the red carpet and scoop even the most seasoned journalists. If only she could get a pass from Ryan, who just wants her to stay home and cuddle.
Last summer’s “No boys!” mantra is a distant memory for Jacqui. While the new au pair, Shannon, handles the Perry kids, Jacqui searches for some serious fun. And she doesn’t have to look far: Three dot-com boy-millionaires have moved in next door and are more than happy to compete for her affections. Thus Jacqui’s new mantra, “Why have just one when you can have them all?”
Eliza and Jeremy are in total relationship bliss. She’s decided to take the next step with Jeremy and nothing’s going to stop her this time. Unfortunately, what she thought would be a cakewalk internship for a famous fashion designer turns out to be more hours of hard labor than she, or her relationship, are ready for. Too bad Jeremy won’t stop questioning her work ethic long enough for Eliza to get back in the mood.

The Au Pairs: Crazy Hot (Book 4)

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?

Future Possibilities....
Will there be more Au Pairs books? Are you writing a fifth Au Pairs novel?
"Sadly no. I am not writing an Au Pairs book at the moment. I'm so glad you enjoyed that series, I really enjoyed writing it! But right now I'm really happy with where all the characters ended up, and I want them to enjoy their happy ending for a while."
Will there be an Au Pairs movie?
"Hopefully! RJ Cutler (the director of the awesome documentary The September Issue) is directing, Drew Barrymore and Flower Films and Alloy are producing for Warner Brothers. Right now the script is being rewritten again, and I'm told the studio is hoping to shoot NEXT year (2011) for a summer 2012 release. If the world doesn't end by then, hopefully we will see the girls on screen!"
