Failure is not an option. Even if it means fake dating my best friend. I’m Maddie, girl boss coder. I've poured my heart and soul into LoveScore, the dating app that's going to disrupt the industry. We're so close to securing major funding and launching. Nothing can stop us now. Nothing except… our investor's impossible demand - add intimate physical data to our algorithm in just six weeks. How the hell are we supposed to do that? The solution is as brilliant as it is insane. My sexy, off-limits co-founder Zack and I will have to fake date, role-play steamy scenarios, and gather the data ourselves. With the clock ticking down to our big launch, I'm cosplaying as fantasy girlfriends, working overtime to keep my cool, and ignoring my very non-platonic feelings developing for Zack. It's strictly business. At least, that's what I keep telling myself as things heat up. The Love Startup is an open door/high spice romance with witty banter and a strong female lead. This is a hilarious friends to lovers, he falls first, workplace romance, that is laugh out loud funny with sassy, supportive sisters. "The Denton Sisters" series books are connected but can be read as a standalone in any order.

MéLisa Ryun is our pen name, and we're a husband-wife duo who've been finishing each other's sentences (and steamy scenes) for nearly 30 years. We left the glitz of Hollywood for the glitter of Vegas. Despite calling Sin City home, we say what happens in Vegas should definitely not stay in Vegas-not when it comes to our scorching hot romcoms.We spend our days in a death match of yoga and joke-writing. It's like we're competing in a bizarre reality show where the winner gets to avoid stepping outside into Satan's armpit. We used to write for Hollywood and YouTube. Now we write books and social media posts. It's basically the same thing, except now our audience can read ¿ Maybe we'll trauma dump about our life in LA in a book someday. Or maybe we'll just keep writing about fictional people with better lives than ours.We write steamy open-door romcoms that'll make your grandma blush and your girlfriends wink knowingly. Our characters? So real you'll swear they've been eavesdropping on your life, with banter as finely honed as a cover model's abs and sparks that'll melt your e-reader. Our mission? To write sizzling chemistry, door-kicking-open steam, and enough beloved tropes to complete a Pinterest board. And the best part? Guaranteed satisfying happily ever after, every time.. Snark. Swoon. Spice!
