The Party King
From Simone Elkeles, the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of the PERFECT CHEMISTRY series and debut author J.B. Rush.
It was the late 80’s when 19 year-old hottie and bad boy Billy Brooks gets suspended from his Big 10 university for a bogus crime he didn’t commit.
Back home in Chicago, he’s lured into the underground Chicago club scene by getting a job as a roadie for a DJ. Due to his boyishly good looks, Billy is groomed by his fellow roadies and DJ’s on how to flirt with women, dance with women, and become a hot commodity in the industry. Billy takes advantage of every opportunity with vigor and becomes The Party King of Chicago!
When his suspension is over, Billy heads back to school. He has no intention of giving up his bachelor ways even when he meets Jess, the sweet, carefree girl who catches his eye. Jess doesn’t want a hookup or one night stand, which is all Billy can offer her. So why can't he get her off of his mind?
Billy was groomed to be a f*ck boy. Will he ever change?

Simone was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where she still lives today.

She continued her education at Loyola University-Chicago where she received her Master’s of Science degree in Industrial Relations while working for a manufacturing company creating diversity programs for their employees.
She loves animals (she has two dogs – a labradoodle and a German Shepherd), kids (she also has two of those) and her family. In her spare time she’s the Hockey Mom for her kids hockey teams and is an active Girl Scout leader specially trained in outdoor education. She also spends time mentoring other teen and adult authors. (She also loves sushi, which you can probably tell by reading her books.) Simone writes about teens because she was a teen in the 80’s (when spiked hair and blue eye shadow were “rad”) and she loves writing about those exciting teen relationships and romances.
