Donovan
When my honeymooning best friend asks me to abandon my beloved Manhattan to house sit for him in Rosedale, Connecticut, I plan to use my small-town summer to finish my unfinishable play. Until it turns out the house was double-booked, and I suddenly have a roommate for the summer. Honestly, Beck’s not so bad—he’s either sunning in a Speedo or baking cookies that taste like my childhood—but how can I get any work done with that kind of distraction?

Beck
After dropping out of law school, I need to figure out my next act, but I’d rather procrastinate by the pool while house sitting for my cousin. I wasn’t expecting company, but I’m happy to share, especially since Donovan is as hot as the pavement in July. He seems to be into me, too, but I don’t do one-time hook-ups and he’s definitely not in the market for a boyfriend.

So we make a deal. Two months. Roommates-with-benefits. No strings.

But as summer wears on, our arrangement feels more like a relationship than some of the relationships I’ve been in, and it’s clear I’m not getting out of this with my heart intact. I’m not only falling in love with Donovan, I’m also falling in love with Rosedale. Will I be able to leave Rosedale, and Donovan, behind?

Cool for the Summer is a stand-alone, slow burn, roommates-to-lovers, summer fling story with a dash of cookie baking and plenty of sweet and steamy small-town goodness.

His Ever After Box Set Cover

There’s no white Christmas at this Vermont inn—just two pining country music stars trying to write themselves a happily ever after.

Country music star Ryan Winslow hates corny Christmas songs, so he’s not sure how he let Jesse Arlyn, his on-stage partner and off-stage best friend, talk him into writing a Christmas album. Oh right, it’s because he’s desperately in love with Jesse, the man who saved his life when they were in the Peace Corps together. He’ll do anything Jesse asks, but unfortunately Jesse will never ask Ryan for the one thing he wants most to give—his heart.

When the unexpected appearance of an old Peace Corps buddy throws their friendship off balance, Ryan decides to finally come clean about his feelings. What better way than writing a corny Christmas song to the man he loves? If he can write the perfect holiday love song, maybe Jesse will finally be able to see Ryan as more than a friend, and they can create a brand new harmony together.

Real best friend. Fake wedding date. What could go wrong?

Hunter Pike has moved on since he was discharged from the army and got a divorce in the same week. He moved to a different state, started his own skydiving school, and goes on plenty of (first) dates. When his ex demands he bring a plus one to her upcoming wedding, Hunter blurts out the first name he can think of—Devin Smith, his faithful business partner and best friend. It doesn’t matter that there’s never been anything romantic between the two of them—all that matters is that Devin plays along for a few days. What’s the worst that could happen?

Devin’s been pining for Hunter since they first started working together, but he never thought anything would come of his crush on the handsome, seemingly fearless Hunter.
