One of two things happens when Maverick Daly walks into a room: you either want to be him, or be with him. Maverick lives in the fast lane: gorgeous one-night stands, souped up cars, a penetrating gaze that will either paralyze you or light your panties on fire, depending on which category you fall in above. But I’m off-limits to him, or maybe too much in the tomboy category for him to notice me as anything other than Scarlett: Plain Childhood Bestie. Even though I’d cut off a pinky toe for a chance to be desired by Bayshore’s most available bachelor, it’s not in the cards. He’s Mr. One-And-Done, and I’m Ms. Longing For Forever. I’m usually able to keep his after-hour shenanigans out of mind, until a gourmet-casual food truck competition thrusts us into a tiny kitchen for five weeks. Maverick is launching his career, and I’m just trying to help out my good ol’ platonic bestie. And while the flames are leaping off the grill, the heat is rising between us. Until it gets so hot that—pop goes the sexual repression. The past two decades of being friendzoned? Out the window. Now we’re lovers with a side of what comes next? I’ve known him my entire life, but now I’m meeting a whole new side of him. A side that is begging me to dive headfirst. We’re gunning to win the competition, but Maverick just might win my heart instead. Fans of Lucy Score and Lila Monroe will love this lighthearted yet sizzling romantic comedy!

CATCH FLIGHTS, NOT FEELINGS. So says Weston Daly, the playboy backpacker I keep running into around the globe. And I, for one, am sick and tired of tripping over his windblown chestnut hair and that impossible heartbreaker grin every time I leave the country. First Amsterdam. Then Portugal. And now? Aruba. He’s Instagram-famous and too gorgeous to trust. I’ve hated him since the day I met him, but on this trip, I have to play nice, even though he makes it impossible. It’s our best friends’ wedding…and I’m the official photographer. The more this man smiles through my viewfinder, the harder it is to remember why we’ve always butted heads. Before I know what I’m doing, paradise takes on a new meaning, and it involves Weston Daly’s tongue. His profile might say that he stops for nobody, but when we’re together, time itself freezes. When I receive the offer of a lifetime, Weston wants something that throws my whole world into disarray. And worse yet? He plans to make me choose.

Get ready for a frenemies-to-lovers romance, a virgin-best friend romance, and a surprise road trip with her best friend’s brother! Book 1: Fetching Wyatt I’m a self-made billionaire with a soft spot for damsels in distress, so when I move to the quirky lakeside community of Summerdale, I immediately zero in on the woman I most want to…ahem, rescue. Only the stubborn woman refuses to cooperate. Sydney When Satan, aka Wyatt Winters, moves to town, I do my best to be welcoming. After all, I’m the owner of the historic restaurant and bar that he keeps showing up at, despite criticizing nearly everything about it. Deep breath. I might’ve lost my cool and made a rude gesture in his direction. And told him off. How was I to know he was considering investing in my place? Did I mention I’m in debt up to my eyeballs and every bank has turned me down? Still, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell I’d ever work with him. Or admit he fires me up in every way. And then a snowstorm traps us together and— I’m melting. Book 2: Dashing Adam True or false? Men and women can’t be friends. I used to say true, until I met Kayla. Yes, she’s a goddess, but it’s completely platonic. So when she asks me to pose as her fiancé at a party, I’m all in. Especially since her sleazeball ex will be there. Can you believe this weasel dumped her at the altar? I’ve got your back, Kayla. What are friends for? But now I’m worried I played the part too well because we’re heading home, and she makes a confession: she’s tired of saving herself for marriage and wants me to be her first. Her first! I can’t go there. The woman has committed relationship written all over her, something I’m never doing again for good reason. Except when I tell her no, she starts considering other candidates. I can’t let her be with some random guy! I can’t cross the line either. She doesn’t know what she’s asking! She doesn’t know what she’s doing! Someone has to stop her. Kayla Only Adam will do. Book 3: Sporting Jenna After accidentally dinging a brand-new car, I’m suddenly face-to-face with an angry alpha male. And the sparks are flying. Wait. Eli Robinson? How’s it possible the irritating younger brother of my best friend has morphed into this gorgeous swaggering man? I can’t let myself be tempted. Eli is off-limits. My best friend, his sister who helped raise him, makes sure I know it. Except the more I get to know him, the more difficult it is to stay away. This can only end badly. No relationship is worth losing my best friend. And then he kidnaps me. Eli Once upon a time, Jenna Larsen was my teenaged dream girl, and I mean that in the dirtiest way possible. Now that we’re adults, I discovered she’s even better than I dreamed. So I take her on a surprise trip to get away from judging eyes. An extended date of sorts. Fine. I kidnapped her. I only hope she stops being mad long enough to give us a chance.
