So the girls answer a classified ad to become au pairs. How bad can it be, watching a couple of kids on the beach all day? They've got the swank address, the sweet ride, and an all-access pass to the hottest social scene on the East Coast. It's shaping up to be the summer of their lives.

Skinny-Dipping

Published 31 May 2005
Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui are back in the Hamptons for another summer of beaches, boys, and—oh, yeah—babysitting in this second book in the Beach Lane series.

Back in the Hamptons for another summer, Mara, Eliza and Jacqui have to deal with the fallout of how they spent their winters.

Mara dumped Ryan, but now wants him back. Unfortunately, he may have moved on. To Eliza.

Eliza is worried about Mara finding out about her recent fling—but also about what Jeremy will think.

And Jacqui is eyeing the Perrys’ new au pair, Philippe. Too bad she’s sworn off boys…

If the girls want to keep their jobs, they have to get their love lives under control—or they’ll be on the first bus out of the Hamptons.

Sun-Kissed

by Melissa de la Cruz

Published 23 May 2006
In the Hamptons for their third summer, Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui do their best not to get burned on the beach--or in love--in Book 3 of the Beach Lane series.
It's another summer in the Hamptons for Mara, Eliza, and Jacqui--and babysitting is officially on the back burner.
Mara is the new It Girl of the Hamptons, writing a column about the local nightlife. She has a pass to every hot club, but all her boyfriend Ryan wants to do is stay home and cuddle.
Eliza is in relationship bliss with Jeremy, but her hectic fashion internship is limiting their time together. Can they make it work?
Jacqui has decided to forego the no boys rules, especially when three dot.com billionaires move in next door and vie for her affection.
The girls seem to have it all this summer. But as all good Hamptons girls know, looks can be deceiving...and sometimes when the sun shines, it scorches.
