Writing emotionally intense romances for readers who want resilience, belonging, and transformative love.
When Jennifer Blakely’s ex — the Mayor’s son — refuses to accept that it’s over, her childhood best friend and NFL free agent Adam Thompson steps in with a plan: fake dating, close proximity, and a message her ex can’t ignore. The only problem is that Jennifer has been in love with Adam since she was sixteen — and Adam has spent eight years trying to forget he feels exactly the same way. The danger is real. So are the feelings. And pretending otherwise is becoming impossible for both of them.
