My first love.And the only person who ever broke me.I have a great life. I’ve fulfilled my dream of running my own coffee shop-slash-library in my hometown, I own my own home, and I have the best group of friends a girl could ask for. Everything is perfect.Or it was.When a neighboring town starts its very own professional football franchise, he gets himself traded to be the starting quarterback of the Branston Bandits. And before I know it, he’s purchased the house next door, moving in with a neighborly smile like he didn’t destroy me all those years ago…...when he made a disgusting bet with his teammates to take my V-card, which I was eagerly and naively willing to give him before I found out the truth.Well, if Riggs Malone thinks it’s all water under the bridge, he has another thing coming. I don’t forgive easily, and I never forget. I’m about to make his life a living hell .Let the prank war begin.The Turnover is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with lots of laughs, plenty of heat, and more than a few cookies that are...ahem...anatomically correct.

It’s how I’d describe him, too, if I didn’t just find out the one-night stand that rocked my world is my best friend’s fiancé’s best friend…God, what a mouthful.Now, the cat’s out of the bag, and despite the lingering attraction between us, I’ve locked him firmly in the friend zone... moreClean cut, all-American, hot as sin, and sweet enough to lick all over.That’s how my friend Skye describes Miles Blake.

And I refuse to be the cause of tension between my bestie and the love of her life.No way. No how.But it doesn’t take long for the desire simmering inside me to come to a head. Miles is charming, funny, gorgeous, and kind…everything I could want in a man wrapped in a sexy package that makes my body revolt against my mind and its ridiculous decision to keep things friendly.So we make a deal––we’ll remain friends, but with…ahem…benefits. Nothing changes outside of the bedroom, and when we end the physical stuff, we’ll remain friends. No harm. No foul.It’s the perfect plan, right? less

Maybe it just never felt right. Maybe I was waiting for something. Or someone.When local football star Foster McKenna moves into my bed & breakfast for a long stay while his own house is being built, I know it’s him. He’s the one I’ve been waiting for. I’m finally ready to get rid of this V-card, once and for all, and Foster is just the man to divest me of it. I’ve been crushing on him for months, and now that we’re here, all alone in this big house…But when a little liquid courage turns into a full-on bender, I accidentally let my secret slip. And all the things I liked about Foster––his honesty, his integrity, his kindness and strength of will––turn out to be the bane of my existence. Despite being obviously attracted to me, he won’t give me what I want. He’s trying to protect me. From him. From myself.Well, screw that. If he won’t rid me of this godforsaken virginity, I’ll find someone who will. Then maybe he’ll see me as a woman, and not some fragile flower he needs to protect.Oh, but he doesn’t like that idea.Not one little bit. less
