Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... Or in the state of Kirby Lawrence, a woman who is NOT attracted to her best friend, bad boy rock star, Colin Donovan. Not even a little bit! No matter how good his butt looks in those jeans… Crap, I’m looking at his butt. Colin’s butt! And the butterflies in my stomach are discoing now. Discoing! I avert my eyes, but it’s too late. I have already had thoughts I shouldn’t have had, and flutters that shouldn’t have fluttered. And I have a horrible feeling there’s no coming back from this. No going back to the way things were before I realized that a part of me wants to climb my best buddy like a tree and make out with his sexy face… Meet Colin and Kirby in this fun, flirty Standalone prequel to THE BANGOVER!

Note to Self—Do NOT bang your best guy friend in the limo on the way to the swanky Vegas hotel. I give myself very good advice. Too bad I suck at taking it. If only Colin and I hadn't drunk so much whiskey, if only I'd kept that red bikini in my suitcase, if only his evil ex-girlfriend hadn't come sniffing around making me feel territorial and protective. Not that my bad boy rock star best friend is any help. Walking around looking ridiculously sexy, telling me I'm perfect in that panty-melting voice of his when we both swore we'd never do anything to put our friendship at risk. And Colin never breaks a promise. But then, he has no idea I've secretly been in love with him for years. I guess I should just enjoy the ride, but I can't stop thinking about what happens when this vacation ends and I head home alone, nursing one hell of a bangover... The Bangover is a red-hot, laugh out loud rom-com featuring two best friends on a collision course with Vegas-flavored disaster—and each other. It stands alone. No cheating or cliffhangers.

Advice from my Future Self: Don't Ask Your Best Guy Friend to Give you Nookie Lessons. Oops. Too late. I already begged my rock star BFF to give me lessons in seduction. And sweet, strong, always-has-my-back Shep already let me down easy, proving I have zero game, even with people who profess to care about me. Now, I'll never live down my embarrassment or figure out why I'm a failure with the opposite sex. Or so I assume...until Shep changes his mind, agreeing to three weeks of red hot study buddy time before he goes on tour and we part ways as friends. Shep swears he can't give me what I need in a real relationship, but the more time we spend together, the more certain I am he's the only one who can. And I'm going to pull out all the stops to convince my uber-protective tutor that I can handle anything life—or love—throws our way.

I pull in a breath, about to launch into a verbal lashing the likes of which this ridiculous rock god has never seen, but I stop myself at the last second. Because Cutter is still staring at my chest like it's the most beautiful chest ever plunked down on God’s green Earth. And Cutter clearly has no idea I’m the little girl he called a B-word all grown up. The opportunity to mess with my teenage nemesis is just too delicious to resist... Meet Theodora and Cutter in this enemies-to-lovers prequel to Bang On Loosely.

Pop Quiz: You just banged a rock star you vowed to loathe until the end of time. What’s next? Hint: You don’t agree to be his fake girlfriend. And you certainly don’t fall in love… Once upon a time, Cutter Comstock was the hot older boy who tormented me in high school. Fast forward thirteen years and I find myself in his bed, riding him like the last stud at the sex rodeo… Needless to say, mistakes have been made… But as a chef, I turn food flops around all the time. I can turn this around, too. All I have to do is ignore the insufferably gorgeous (and generally insufferable) Cutter until he goes on tour. Too bad my nemesis has other plans… Cutter wants my help winning back the one who got away and he knows just the bait to dangle—the chance to open my own restaurant in a dream location. I can pull off pretending to be the devil’s devoted girlfriend in order to make my dreams come true. Right? But what happens when my dreams start to include the clever, funny, unexpectedly sweet man Cutter has become? Can a bad boy rock star and a chronically nerdy chef live happily ever after?

Two days after my boyfriend dumps me, my business goes belly up, and the sperm bank declines my credit card, a gorgeous rock star offers to whisk me away for two weeks of hot, steamy, all-expenses paid…therapy. I should say no. I’m not looking for a fling. I want a man who’ll be a father to the baby I’m desperate to conceive. Or, at the very least, a guy willing to knock me up before we go our separate ways. Zack isn’t that guy. He’s my best friend’s oldest pal, and in my social circle for the long haul. I could never ask him a favor like this. That would be crazy. The problem? Turns out, I’m crazy. And so is Zack…

Genevieve is like my little sister. Our rock star parents are all best friends, and we basically grew up together. She’s a girl I want to protect from the dangerous things in the world, not one of the groupies that gather outside the stage door now that I’m a rock star, too. Genny isn’t a one-night stand kind of girl. She’s too serious and intense for that. And she feels things way too deeply. Even more importantly, on the night of our first kiss five years ago, she was only seventeen. But now she’s all grown up. And so am I. And the holidays are made for magic and second chances…right?
