The Maine Event

A heartwarming forced proximity single-dad romance

From the back cover:

When love collides with ambition, sparks fly.

Rachel Holmes is a high-powered PR exec with a laser focus on success. Her life revolves around nailing the next big deal.

Dan Rhodes used to be a soap opera star—now, he's a single dad living a quiet life, far from the limelight.

When a travel mix-up leaves Rachel stranded on the wrong side of the country, her plans for a career-defining pitch go up in smoke. Instead, she finds herself navigating an unexpected connection with the charming—but stubborn—Dan and his daughter, Chloe.

Rachel doesn't do detours, but between getting tangled up in Dan's world and uncovering a softer side to her own ambitions, she's facing a crossroads she never saw coming.

Her future was always clear… until now.

A swoon-worthy, opposites-attract romance about love, family, and the unexpected journeys that lead us home.

The Plus-One Clause

A rivals-to-lovers, forced-proximity, fake-dating romance where the lines blur fast

From the back cover:

No feelings. No complications. No chance.

Emma Carter has spent years perfecting the art of keeping things strictly professional—especially when it comes to Ben Harrington, her insufferably brilliant, maddeningly attractive workplace rival. But when he begs her to be his fake date for the firm's annual gala, she sees an opportunity she can't resist: one night of playing nice in exchange for some long-overdue respect in the office.

The plan is simple. The rules are clear. But after one too many lingering glances and a dance that feels a little too real, Emma starts to wonder if their rivalry has always been something else entirely.

Then Ben makes a proposal of his own. No emotions. No expectations. Just a stress-free, fun, totally no-strings-attached arrangement.

Emma knows better. She really does.

But saying yes? Might just be the best bad decision she's ever made.
