"It's all part of the marketing game—fake hate—unless she falls for her ex again . . .
Hailey Moreno has many regrets about letting her family down since her father's death. But breaking up with her secret boyfriend years ago after his father underhandedly tried to buy her family's hot-air balloon business isn't one. The Selene family is her enemy until she's charged with creating a Central Oregon hot-air balloon festival. Now she needs her ex's cooperation and perhaps more.
Ryland Selene always had it bad for Hailey. She's the one who got away. When she reaches out with an opportunity, Ryland knows he should be cautious but he jumps in, determined to win a second chance with Hailey.
When Ryland proposes planning the festival together, Hailey's reluctant. Then she hits on what sounds like a fun scheme. Create a fake family feud for social media buzz. Too bad Ryland can't follow a script . . . and neither can her heart. But all the pretend drama allows them to be vulnerable and connect in a way they didn't before. Can faux hate turn to real love?"
"She doesn't trust his charm. He's determined to prove he's not like the rest of his family.
Naomi Moreno has big plans for her family's struggling High Desert Tours—plans her older sister keeps shutting down. After watching her father make one risky decision too many, Naomi’s committed to doing things right . . . and definitely not falling for smooth talkers with secret agendas.
Boone Reyes was raised by con artists. He's worked hard to leave that world behind, aiming for a legit future—and a job as a rock climbing instructor could be the start. To win Naomi's trust, he offers a deal: he'll help her snag new wedding clients for the hot air balloon business if she trains with him on the rocks.
As business booms and their chemistry builds, Naomi starts to wonder if she misjudged Boone. But when his recently paroled father shows up, convinced Boone's working a new con, everything they've built is at risk.
Can Boone prove he's not the man his father raised? Or will Naomi walk away when love looks too much like a lie?"
"Can the most awkward 'Meet Cute' lead to something real?
When Selah Moreno's father unexpectedly dies, she abandons her dream job as an airline pilot to helm her family's struggling hot air balloon business. While piloting is in Selah's blood, the pressure of being everyone's rock leaves little room to breathe. It's no wonder she gets caught up in the daydream of flirting with a handsome potential client . . . until she finds out he's booking a proposal flight.
Smith Rock park ranger Dex Westerly wants to take his relationship to the next level, but nothing goes right. His proposal is rejected and a rogue wind tips the basket upon landing, sending the pretty and curvaceous balloon pilot into his lap where she makes an ill-timed joke, increasing his humiliation.
Months later, Dex and Selah bump into each other and bond over business struggles. Dex proposes a marketing partnership to promote her balloon tours while raising funds for the park's new wildlife rescue program. Sparks fly between them, and when a promotional social media post goes viral, they're pushed into a pretend whirlwind romance that starts to feel too close to love."
