Sophie Oliver and I have this thing. It’s an annual, not-a-date thing where we meet up in my small town every August and he buys me a milkshake. That’s all. Nothing else. Except maybe an innocent hug or two. But that’s it! I can’t fall for this man. He’s always seen me as just a friend. And besides the fact that my grandparents hate him, we’re complete opposites. He’s busy touring the world, running the family resort company with his brothers. I’m busy with pajama day at the broke-down mobile library I’ve sunk my heart and soul into. So, yeah. It’s time for me to, once and for all, move on from this silly crush that has claimed me for far too long. Oliver Seeing Sophie again has…changed things. She’s different. She’s always been interesting, beautiful, and funny. But suddenly, everything I thought I knew about the world and how it operates has been mixed up in a blender. I’m all shook up, but I don’t think she feels the same way. The worst part? I can’t seem to quit her, no matter how hard I try. Send help. Just a Friend is a sweet, kisses-only romantic comedy. It's the first book in the Tate Brothers series, which chronicles all six Tate brothers' pathways to love at their resort in the idyllic, quirky small town of Longdale, Colorado.

Join Deb's newsletter to get the book, Love in Reality, part of the Silver Plum series, totally FREE! https://debgoodmanwrites.com Deb Goodman’s obsession with the written word started at age three, when she realized the old-timey newsprint wallpaper in her family’s bathroom had actual words on it. The only problem? By the time she learned to read a couple of years later, the wallpaper had been replaced with something else—boring, non-worded wallpaper—and to this day, she still doesn’t know what it said. Now, she and her husband and four children live in Utah. They love sports, music, and doing slightly insulting, pretend voices for their little shorkie, Mavis. Deb writes funny, small-town romance that you won’t need to shield your kids’ eyes from. Billionaires, friends-to-more, enemies-to-more, cowboys, fake relationships…there’s something for everyone here! Writing lovey dovey books comes naturally to Deb since, to her, there’s nothing better than reading and writing about how two people fall in love.
