And when she tells me about her date with a professor, I’m about to lose my mind. But I can’t blame her. Why would she want a former player, dumb jock turned mechanic who works too much when she can have someone smart and well-read, just like her. She’s always been too good for me and she always will be. But when she calls asking for me to rescue her again, just like she always does, I go without a second thought, hoping this time she’ll see me as the knight on the white horse and not her asshole best friend in a tow truck. Trish Mikey O’Brien is my best friend. My steaming hot, alpha, protective, always-makes-my-panties-melt best friend. Best. Friend. The thing is, I’m tired of being his best friend. I want everything with him. I’m talking passionate kisses and hot sex and the kind of love that makes you ungodly stupid. After almost twenty-five years of friendship, I don’t know how to get him to see me as more than his nerdy bookworm librarian best friend. But when my apartment catches fire and I wind up staying with him, I decide to woman up. It’s time to take a chance. I’m going to seduce Mikey O’Brien. Will Mikey & Trish realize they're being idiots and finally get together? Find out in this short and steamy best friends to lovers small town romance.

Always Mine

2022

Zoey Holloway has always been mine, even when she didn’t know it. From high school when she was my little brother's best friend who I had a crush on, to now as a single mom with a sweet smile, quick wit, and a body worth worshiping, she’s had my heart. After years of thinking it would never happen, we’re finally together, living the life I always dreamed of—except for one thing. The thing she doesn't know about. The thing I can never give her. I tell myself it won't matter. She's not my ex. She'll love me no matter what. But as we grow closer and become more deeply entrenched in each other's lives, I start to wonder if that's true, or if she'll grow to resent me like my ex did. More importantly, is that a chance I’m willing to take? With as much of myself as I’ve given her, could I survive if I lost her? Can Luke and Zoey fight through their emotional baggage to have the kind of love they always dreamt of? Find out in this emotional and steamy friends to lovers fated romance.
