Hire A Cuddler (How To Win At Love) (August 12, 2024) by Hope Ford (Author) King is a determined billionaire… posing as a professional cuddler to get close to me. He’s the type of man who always gets what he wants, and right now, he wants me—the socially awkward, plus-size model with intimacy issues. I've never had anyone hold me, hug me – or even love me – and my therapist thinks a professional cuddler will help break down the walls I've built to protect my heart. I’m skeptical at best… But King is so good at holding me together that the line between professional and personal quickly blurs, igniting a passion I’m not prepared for. King and I might be fifteen years apart, but our connection is undeniable. When his true identity is revealed, I feel betrayed. Until he proposes an irresistible deal: a fake marriage. He gets what he desires, and I get what I need. I reluctantly agree… with boundaries of course. Now, I just have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t real.

Holden is a professional baseball player on the injured list. His only goal is getting back on the field… until he meets me. Everyone knows about Holden Gray's reputation. He goes through women faster than most baseball players go through sunflower seeds. When he becomes my next physical therapy patient, I'm determined to keep things professional. Something that proves more challenging than I expected. Holden is determined to get off the bench in time for the playoffs. He insists on having me and my son move into his house so I’m on-call twenty-four/seven. Close quarters means there is a lot of tension brewing between us. I went down that road with my son’s father and I learned the hard way how relationships go with men like Holden. Still, the chemistry between us is undeniable. Holden makes it clear he wants more from me than PT. So I agree to a fling. Something with an expiration date so I can get out before my heart is involved.

Gabe is fiercely protective of me, but that’s as far as his affections go. He’s older than me–something he reminds me of often - and he takes his role of caring for me seriously. But when a family tragedy brings us together, grief and comfort lead to a fiery night of passion. I might have given into my desires, but I refuse to let this change things between us. I know that Gabe will convince himself that staying with me is the right thing to do. Gabe is my best friend, and I don’t want to lose him.
