"Indigo Summer" - Fifteen-year-old Indigo Summer's world finally
seems to be going in the right direction: She hooks up with the star
linebacker on the high-school football team, gets a date for homecoming
and makes the high-school dance squad all in the same week. But
sometimes things are just too good to be true. After football star
Quincy Rawlins abruptly dumps her for a girl who is willing to put out,
Indigo's popularity and self-esteem take a nosedive. When her perfect
world falls apart, Indigo turns to the one person who seems to have his
head on straight--her next-door neighbor, sixteen-year-old Marcus Carter.
The problem is, now that Indigo realizes what a great guy Marcus really
is, so does someone else.
"The Pact" - Break up for the summer…That's the deal Indigo Summer
makes with her boyfriend, Marcus Carter. That way, they can both
enjoy their vacations, no guilt, no questions asked. Not that Indigo isn't
worried when Marcus heads to Texas to spend time with his estranged
mother—kissing Marcus goodbye is hard enough, and who knows
who'll be kissing him in Houston? But Indigo barely has time to think
about her temporarily ex-boyfriend by the time she gets to Chicago.
She's hanging out with her cool cousin, who lives alone at seventeen
and has her own life—a life Indigo thought she wanted, until things get
way out of hand. She needs Marcus, but he has his own thing going
on…and his mother wants him to stay with her permanently.
Maybe it's time for a new pact.
"Jaded" - What Jade Morgan wants: for her parents to get back together. 
Instead her dad proposes to his new girlfriend, who has the nerve to ask Jade to be a bridesmaid. Like that'll ever happen. Her new boyfriend, Terrence, thinks she should give her future stepmom a chance, try to get to know her. Yet Jade barely knows Terrence—who is cute and cool, but is seriously hiding something. He's busy all the time and he won't invite her to his house. Yeah, something is definitely up. But sometimes friends, family and boyfriends do things that make you really jaded about life.
"Deal With It" - This is the fifth installment of the series which has yet to be released.
"Trouble Follows" - Indigo Summer has everything she wants: a coveted spot on the high school dance squad, a hot boyfriend (the one and only Marcus Carter) and—her best friend, their good-looking history teacher. And instead of shooting hoops, Atlanta! But why does trouble always have to follow? Jade is suddenly Marcus is sitting in a courthouse, forced to prove his innocence
for something he didn't do. Indigo is feeling the pressure—from the squad, from her friends, from her family. It's time to show everyone—and herself—that she's made of strong stuff.
