Four blind dates in five days. I can’t believe I agreed to this. Actually, I can. That’s what I do. I agree to things I don’t want to do to make other people happy. In this case, my four best friends. They’re worried about me and if going on a few dates will make them happy, then I’ll do it. How bad could they be? I probably shouldn’t have asked that. I’m starting to seriously wonder if my friends know me at all. Each pick is worse than the last, and none of them compare to my former fiancé. But then I guess maybe that’s the point. Someone new to help me forget the old. To help me move on. Except I don’t need a man to prove that I’ve moved on. Why can’t my friends understand that? And why does the same beautiful stranger keep saving me from these awful encounters? The universe seems to be throwing him into my path, and the more time I spend with him the more I wish that he was one of the dates. There’s one more date left and I can’t help but wonder if he’ll pop up again. How many chance encounters can two people have? Pittsburgh is a big city so the chances are slim. But what if…? This sweet rom-com tells the story of a woman stuck in the past, and how meeting a series of Mr. Wrongs, plus one Mr. Right, sets her on a new path. One of healing, forgiveness, and new beginnings.

The universe is not playing fair. First, my new boss says changes are coming to our library that threaten the programs I run. Then a letter arrives from my mother—whom I haven’t seen in more than twenty years—saying who knows what because I’m refusing to open it. Last but not least, the man who dumped me eight months ago is telling people that I’m trying to get him back. Universe, I assure you I am not. The one bright spot in all of this is the new guy in my life. He’s sweet, adorable, and seems totally interested. There’s just one problem. I might have bent the truth a little when we first met, and now I need to confess before he finds out from someone else. But when the truth finally does comes out, I’m not the only one with some explaining to do. Maybe I can’t blame the universe for everything. Not Playing Fair is about family, forgiveness, and the friends who stand by us through it all. Come along as librarian Megan Knox becomes the heroine of her own story, and finds love along the way.

From the #1 Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Anchor Island series, Terri Osburn offers up a new romantic comedy with her trademark heart, hope, and a whole lot of humor. I can’t believe I got fired. Streamlined right out the door with nothing but my belongings in a box and my brain in shock. What I didn’t need in that moment was a nosy man doling out unsolicited business advice, and yet, that’s what I got. Work for yourself, he said. Don’t be a pencil pushing schmuck, he said. What if I liked being a schmuck? Okay, that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean. How was I going to climb the corporate ladder without the corporate part? Well, since no one would even give me an interview, I had no choice but to figure it out. That’s right, I started my own business, and I bet you can guess who my first client turned out to be. So advice guy has a name—Miles—and he’s everything I’m not. Childlike. Easygoing. Laid-back to the point of making a sloth look anxious. But he’s also creative, charming, and kind of a genius. On paper, he isn’t my type at all. And yet, I find myself enjoying our time together more than I’m willing to admit. Still, I can't possibly fall for him. Not only is Miles my client, but he and my family are as different as night and day. So...we are not going there. Even if I really, really want to. An enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract rom-com about friends, family, and falling in love. Includes bouts of witty banter and tons of sexual tension all delivered steam free.
