It's another suck-tastic summer for book nerd and baker, Sara Lee-Affen. She's broke, she's single, and she'll probably die a virgin. At her beautiful cousin's wedding, Sara meets a sexy and delicious stud muffin, Ian Forrests. He's totally her cup of tea, that is until he laughs at her misery when a bee burrows into her ear. Yes, a dang bee. She's dying (well not really) as he's dying from laughter.

What a jerk. A smoking hot, Adonis of a jerk with strikingly green eyes, dark hair, and drool-worthy pecs and eight-pack abs. As luck and fate would have it, Sara keeps bumping into Ian all summer long and ends up working for him as a pastry chef at his failing bakery. Despite her better judgment, Sara falls for the sexy, badass rich boy. She discovers the truth about Ian: he's a tortured soul who's still pining for his deceased girlfriend, Sarah. One look at Sarah's picture and poor Sara knows that she could never compete. She could never be Ian's cup of tea.

Or could she?

Chances are, a hobo would moon me on the train before a hot guy asks me out-- I'm plain, a little chubby and definitely not hot stuff like the socialites of Gossipy Girl or what-not. But hey, guess what, the Prince of Uptown, Jaiden Daniels, just singled me out among dozens of other girls and he's hired me to become his maid/bodyguard and pretend girlfriend. He wants me to pretend to be his love interest so his parents would stop matchmaking him with socialite airheads and a crazy Princess. Acting to be in love with Jaiden is hard, even though he's gorgeous, because I've been in love with my best friend Kiterin since forever. Too bad Kiterin has a gorgeous girlfriend. So here I am, ordinary-girl Mina Lin, star of a real teenage soap-opera involving love polygons (I love Kit, Kit doesn't love me, Jaiden's falling for me?), evil socialites, backstabbing, twists and turns-wait until you hear what happens when Jaiden's kidnapped. It's Mina Lin with her Mina-jitsu (a martial arts style I've perfected) to the rescue Find out what happens in my story, Maid for Me by Kat Lieu.
