The Secret Year by Jennifer Hubbard
Description from B&N:
Colt and Julia were secretly together for an entire year, and no one—not even Julia's boyfriend— knew. They had nothing in common, with Julia in her country club world on Black Mountain and Colt from down on the flats, but it never mattered. Until Julia dies in a car accident, and Colt learns the price of secrecy. He can't mourn Julia openly, and he's tormented that he might have played a part in her death. When Julia's journal ends up in his hands, Colt relives their year together at the same time that he's desperately trying to forget her. But how do you get over someone who was never yours in the first place?

Nice variety of books! I'm curious to find out more about the Marie Antoinette book - I researched her for a school project a while back so I'm pretty familiar when it comes to the history. Enjoy them all!
