27 Ways to Find a Boyfriend

2019

If at first you don't succeed, keep going down the list... Addison: I need you to know I’m not pathetic. A little desperate, sure. But not pathetic. And mostly I agreed to Jessa’s insane boyfriend-finding list idea because Carter was looking at me like it was the stupidest idea known to man, and I wanted to irk him. Carter: Jessa’s guy-finding list is the stupidest idea known to man. The only reason Addison doesn’t have a boyfriend is because she’s the boss’s daughter, and none of the guys in our shop want to be fired. Addison: Maybe if he hadn’t kissed me last weekend, I wouldn’t be thinking about him constantly. See there? This is his fault. If I need to use a list to find someone who will get him out of my head, then so be it. Carter: Maybe if I hadn’t kissed her last weekend, the list wouldn’t bother me so much, but now I can’t get her out of my head. So I’m going to do the only thing a sane guy would do in my position. I’m going to sabotage the experiment… Author’s note: 27 Ways to Find a Boyfriend is a steamy-clean adult romantic comedy with all the sizzle but no sex.

27 Ways to Mend His Broken Heart

2019

Heal him so you can steal him. Kaylee: Before I begin, I need to be clear about one thing: Kyle was mine first. My best friend since fourth grade. My shoulder to cry on. My everything. And then during our senior year of high school, Ava waltzed into the picture and won his heart. Kyle: I asked Ava to marry me. (Spoiler—she said no.) How do you move on after five years? If it weren’t for Kaylee, I don’t know what I’d do. I know she was only trying to cheer me up when she concocted the idea of the list, but why not give it a try? Ava has certainly moved on. Kaylee: I’ve never seen Kyle so destroyed. The list was supposed to be a joke, something to make him smile. Then I realized what it really is—an opportunity. By the time I’m finished with him, Kyle will be over Ava, and he’ll be head-over-heels for yours truly. Kyle: I trust Kaylee, and if she thinks the list will help, then I’m all in. She’s not like other girls—she doesn't plot and scheme, or have ulterior motives. What you see is what you get. A guy couldn’t ask for a better best friend… Author’s note: 27 Ways to Mend His Broken Heart is a steamy-clean adult romantic comedy with all the sizzle but no sex.

27 Recipes for Romance

2024

The perfect reading escape, this fun and flirty romantic comedy series is full of humor, delicious banter, and sweet, swoony romance. I have a secret—I can’t cook. This wouldn’t be a big deal except I write a monthly article for Cooking at Home Magazine, and now they want to give me a show on the television network. I have two months to become Suzy Homemaker or the entire world will know I’m a fraud. I also have a secret—Caroline was my first love. So even though I haven’t seen her in about ten years, when she walks into my Friday evening cooking class and asks for my help, you know I’m on board. Right now, Gio is my knight in shining armor, but there’s a tiny problem. My nerdy, gangly science lab partner from high school is now a solid ten out of ten. Tall, dark, and handsome? Check. Dimples? You know it. A smile that could destroy a woman’s career in a heartbeat? He’s got that too. If all goes as planned, I’ll save face on public television, retain my career, and finally be able to bake a cake. But how am I supposed to focus on cooking lessons when the Italian chef is my teacher? And more importantly, if I do manage to keep my job…can I keep Gio too? 27 Recipes for Romance is the third book in a series of romantic comedy standalones. Full of delicious banter and sparking chemistry, these books feature closed-door romance. (All the sizzle, but no on-page steam.)
