Sometimes when life is cruel, fate steps up and says, “Hold my beer.” Poppy Davies wanted one thing and one thing a family. When that dream got shattered, she needed a distraction and knew exactly where to find it, or him. Tagging along as her older brother’s plus one was part of the plan. Accidentally catching the bouquet was not. But she wasn't complaining since the man who caught the garter was her brother's best friend...the sexy, brooding, cyber-intelligence genius with a jawline so sharp it could cut glass who happened to be very distracting. AJ Costas wanted one thing and one thing peace. He hoped after his last deployment that on the cross-country trip to his mom’s wedding he would clear his head and find clarity. Instead, what he found was undeniable chemistry with his best friend's little sister... the flirty, curvy brunette whose eyes mesmerized him and whose touch quieted his mind and made the rest of the world disappear. It was supposed to be the perfect escape, one night. No strings. No feelings. No complications. In a plot twist neither saw coming, their paths crossed again eight weeks later at, you guessed it, another wedding, because fate definitely has a sense of humor. One minor head wound and trip to the ER left them both reimagining their entire futures. Cue panic. She had to learn to trust love doesn’t always arrive perfectly packaged. He had to fight for a future he thought he never wanted. Together, they’ll have to navigate uncharted territory filled with mistaken intentions, NSFW showers, swoon-worthy melt-your-heart moments, and life’s unexpected detours discovering sometimes the best plans are the ones you never made. Author’s Someone to Love is a older brother's best friend, opposites attract, military/neurodivergent hero, next-door neighbor, ONS fail, soulmate/meant-to-be, oopsie baby, spicy small-town romance.
