My new neighbor is an obnoxiously attractive, perpetual bachelor with startling commitment issues. And I just agreed to be his fake girlfriend.

As a socially awkward hot mess, I knew moving to a small town full of nosy, quirky residents wasn’t going to be easy. But finding someone to help discreetly reintroduce me to the dating world—that seemed nearly impossible.

Then I met Jess Caldwell.
The hot man next door with the panty-melting green eyes was the perfect relationship coach candidate.
Except he couldn’t have been less interested in the position.

Until I sweetened the deal.

In return for being my dating coach, I’d pretend to be his girlfriend to appease his family. They want him to fall in love, settle down, and be happy—all things he’s avoided since breaking up with his ex-fiancée.

It was the perfect arrangement.

Until I realized that while I can look at his glistening runner’s body every morning, I can’t touch. I can’t climb him like a tree or press my eager body to his.

And I definitely can’t let my love-deprived heart fall for a man who is quickly making me feel everything.

We have rules.
And an expiration date.

But then he shoots me one of those smoldering looks and I wonder if maybe, just maybe, he’s fallen for me too.

The woman of my dreams is finally single. And I can’t do a damn thing about it.

For years I watched Sadie Miller with that jerk—watched as her light dimmed and her smiles faded.
Until one night, one alarming discovery, set us on a different path. Now I’m her protector, rescuer, roommate—whatever she needs me to be.

And she definitely doesn’t need her new roommate making a move on her.
I’ve hidden my feelings for this long, how hard could it be to hide them a bit longer?

Apparently, hard as hell.

Because all I want to know is how her perfect body feels nestled against mine.
All I crave is a taste of those sweet lips.
I remind myself that this isn’t about what I want, it’s about what Sadie needs.
For now maybe I’ll settle for getting to pummel her abusive ex.

But the minute she lets me, I’m going to be everything she could ever want.
___________

We can be friends, coworkers. Nothing more.

I need a fresh start and a better vetting process for boyfriends.

I kick-start my new life in small-town Landry with a teaching job and a self-imposed dating ban. For the foreseeable future, my life is all about school supplies and celibacy.

But the devastatingly attractive high school football coach who makes me laugh and steals my dry erase markers is hard to ignore.

Taylor Shaw has the whole town under his spell, and he’s determined to win me over, too. Drooling over his chiseled chest as he runs practice drills and fantasizing about inappropriate trysts under the bleachers will only lead down a path of temptation—one I am determined to avoid.

So, I tell him we can be friends and coworkers. Nothing more.

Because the truth is, my family ruins every relationship I ever have, and I won’t risk subjecting Taylor to their underhanded manipulations.

But "just friends” is harder than it sounds.

And celibacy might be downright impossible.

I don't break the rules. And falling for my little sister’s best friend would definitely be breaking the rules. Getting her pregnant was downright irresponsible.
GARRETT
Aria is young. Too young.
My little sister’s best friend is off-limits and always has been. Even if she wasn’t, the painfully beautiful woman is a shameless flirt—a free-spirited whirlwind of emotions. She shouldn’t appeal to me in the least.
I’m looking to settle down and am desperate enough to allow the meddlesome residents of Landry to set me up. Aria Davenport isn’t on their list of suitable options, I made sure of that.
Beyond our age difference and her relationship with my sister, the woman is my polar opposite.
But for one night, I give into temptation and let my need for her take over.

Book Six: The Road Home (Sean & Sadie)

The sweet woman whose heart I broke, just moved back to town and her sights are set on Landry's grumpiest bartender—me.
High school sweethearts don’t last. That’s what everyone told me after she left, after I broke us.

With the abrupt turn my life has taken, hoping for forgiveness is an indulgence I can’t yet afford. In the meantime, being dubbed the broody bartender by Landry’s nosey residents seems to have its perks—it keeps people and distractions away.

Until she walks into my bar.

Her beauty, her touch, it haunts me. Having Willa back here is nothing but a tempting distraction.

She returned home for her veterinary internship, and is relentless. She acts like we’re friends. No matter how much I glower, brush her off, or walk away, she’s always there. A cruel reminder of what I gave up.

Of what may never be.

Because I have commitments. I’ve made promises. And they don’t include getting involved with Willa again, not yet—no matter how my body reacts when she’s around. No matter how her heated stares, alluring curves, and provocative sweetness call to me.

She might be the light to my darkness. The woman I still love. But none of that matters.

Because she’s not staying and I can’t leave.
