One Week
2018
ONE WEEK A new forbidden arrangement standalone novel from Roya Carmen, author of The Ground Rules Trilogy. A troubled marriage. A one week hall pass. Gabriella Moore has it all; a beautiful husband, two adorable children, and a dream home. Yet, when, by chance, she befriends Eli online, she falls fast. And hard. She knows she must let him go, and saying goodbye is one of the hardest things she’s ever done, but she resolves to move on and forget about her beautiful stranger. But then… she makes an unexpected discovery, and it shakes her perfect world to its core. Rules don’t apply anymore. An arrangement is made, and her husband gives her just one week with Eli. The rules are clear: One week. Sex only. No contact thereafter. Seems simple enough, but it’s never simple when it comes to love. Author's note: contains sexual scenes and some coarse language.

But when she loses her job and gets jilted at the altar, her world crumbles, and she runs to drown her sorrows in her mother’s arms. She’s back in her small hometown for a week. And she has a plan – make Peter insanely jealous and win him back. Enter Blake Taylor, her first love, the boy who broke her heart. She’d rather avoid him at all costs, but with his ‘bad boy’ good looks and their shared history, Blake is the perfect man for the job, as long as she can stand him long enough – it’s just one week, after all. She’ll show Peter that she’s not the sweet wallflower he thinks she is, and he’ll come running back soon enough. But when he does, will she still want him?

Stuck with You
2019
The last novel in the ONE WEEK series, STUCK WITH YOU is a fun summer standalone novella. Corrie MacMillan has been through a lot these past few years. Feeling down in the dumps, she packs up and gets away for a bit—her friends have lent her their beach cottage for a week. Corrie is looking forward to getting off the grid and having a quiet week with her two Pomeranians. On the week’s agenda: journal, walk on the beach, paint, read, relax and reflect on life. Unfortunately, her plans hit a snag when she finds her soon-to-be ex, Jacob, at the cottage too. Turns out they’ve been double booked. Jacob is as pig-headed as she is, and neither one of them is willing to give up the cottage. Ultimately, they decide that they can co-exist as long as there are a few rules in place. They both promise to behave. But when Corrie catches the sexy carpenter neighbor’s eye, Jacob gets a little jealous. Turns out he’s not so good at keeping promises. And apparently, Corrie’s not as over Jacob as she thought she was. Author's note: Contains some coarse language and sexual scenes. For adult audiences. 18+
