"She’s everything he wants… and the one woman he can’t have.
Maddie thought her spontaneous kiss with a gorgeous stranger at an exclusive club was just that—a momentary spark with a man she’d never see again.
But when she arrives at her new job the next Monday, she’s stunned to find that her mystery man is actually Ian Hastings, her new boss…and their chemistry is far from a one-time thing.
Ian is captivated by Maddie, the small-town single-mom who just became his assistant, but he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly professional.
Yet resisting her is harder than he imagined, and keeping his hands to himself soon becomes impossible when a familiar face from his past forces him to ask Maddie for an unexpected favor.
A fake engagement.
To deflect his ex’s advances—and avoid unwanted rumors at a high-profile summit—Ian suggests they pretend to be a couple. But it isn’t long before their staged romance blurs into real feelings and Maddie and Ian find themselves tangled in a game of longing, secrets, and unexpected passion.
But when old wounds and hidden truths threaten to break through their careful façade, will they be willing to risk everything to turn this fake relationship into a real one?

Catching feelings for the man who’d become my protector wasn’t supposed to happen.

"Dating Coach Rule Number 1: Don't fall for your client, especially if he's your best friend.
Cole
I don’t suck at dating. I suck at getting over the girl who friend-zoned me back in college.
But I have a plan: Let her set me up. Bomb the dates.
Then she can be my dating coach and I can finally show her I’m the one for her and not that jerk boyfriend she’s always crying on my shoulder about.
Arianna
I’ve had the same boyfriend for three years, which practically makes me a relationship expert.
So when my famous best friend asks for my help, I know turning him into boyfriend material will be a piece of cake.
I’ll tell him to get a haircut, maybe open a few doors here and there and the guy will be golden.
I mean, with all those muscles and jaw-dropping good looks, it really should be no problem.
There’s just one thing I didn’t expect: to want him for myself."
"I wasn't supposed to kiss my best friend's sister when I was a college senior and she was barely eighteen... and I'm definitely not supposed to kiss her again now that she's my assistant.
Drew
Confession: When I received the wedding announcement of my best friend's sister, Kate, I thought becoming the bachelor on a reality TV show would help me move on.
Guess what? It completely backfired.
To make matters worse, the show just hired her to assist me in getting engaged before the finale airs.
Yeah, I didn't exactly propose to my final pick on the last day of filming.
Oops.
Kate
When I agreed to help my high school crush get engaged, I thought it would be simple.
What I didn’t expect was to be hiding the fact that my marriage was annulled after only three months.
Or for the chemistry between Drew and me to reignite after seven years apart.
My career depends on persuading him to propose to someone else.
Messing that up for a man who ghosted me would be stupid, right?

"From USA Today bestselling author Judy Corry comes a passion and angst-charged romance about star-crossed best friends and the secrets that threaten to tear them apart.
I'm trying very hard not to be in love with my best friend. After all, we've 'been there, done that.' Or rather, we dated for three amazing weeks last spring before Scarlett's overprotective dad found out and made her break up with me.
And now that I've left her dad's church, there's no chance for us. I'm considered dangerous—a threat. Though, it's really the secrets I hold that scare Pastor Caldwell the most.
As long as I don't talk about why I left The Fold, her dad won't transfer Scarlett from our private boarding school before graduation.
But when Scarlett is set up with a college guy from their church, I know waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option. I need to break out of the friend zone. Fast.
If only doing that didn't require telling her the secret I've been keeping for six months.
Because when Scarlett discovers the truth, I might just lose her forever."

Arie thinks his college internship will be easy: pose as a high school senior and protect Emma. He never expected to fall for her.

Vincent should be on top of the world when he leads his team to the playoffs, but when his best friend accidentally matches with Emerson, it’s like a dagger to his heart.

There's just one problem: Asher Park—the bad-boy rumored to have been involved in the mysterious disappearance of his ex last spring—is also in the play.
I know I shouldn't get involved with Asher. That he's possibly dangerous and the exact type of guy I always get burned by. But the more I get to know him, the less I want to believe the rumors.
Nash and Asher are sworn rivals and before I know it, I'm caught in the middle.
In most fairytales, the princess ends up with the prince. But this might not be that kind of fairytale."
"From the USA Today bestselling author of It Was Always You comes a heart-pounding romance between the girl next door and the boy determined to push her away.
Everyone has three lives. A public life, a private life, and a secret life.
I'm a junior in high school, and yet, I've never been on a date. Everybody says it's because my overprotective brothers scare all the guys away, but I can't help wondering if there's something wrong with me.
That is, until I hear a rumor that I'm secretly dating my brothers' best friend. What?
Sure, I used to think Mack was the most perfect guy in the universe, but I got over that crush years ago. And even though he teases my brothers about taking me to Make-Out Point, there's no way he'd actually make good on that threat. I've only ever been the dorky girl next door to him.
But when Mack's sleepwalking episodes lead him to staying a few nights on the trundle bed in my room and we talk and share things we never tell anyone else, I start to wonder if a secret relationship is exactly what I want.
My brothers have made it clear that Mack is never allowed near me. But what my brothers don't know can't hurt them, right?"

But then I got stuck spending the week at his house.
So to make the best of the situation, I made plans to find my next summer boyfriend and flaunt it in Liam's face. Revenge was working great until Liam made a U-turn and targeted his charm and hotness on me.
A practice date? Sure. I'd show him what he'd been missing.

My Mistletoe Mix-Up: When Raven Rodgers finds out her longtime crush is back in town, she's convinced her bad luck with guys has finally changed. That is until she mistakenly kisses her crush's twin brother, Logan Carmichael, who has been her sworn enemy since childhood.
But it's been eighteen months since she last saw Logan, and he claims he's not the same guy she used to hate. When they're thrown together for a Christmas charity event, Logan seems determined to prove he's nicer than he used to be. But can a bad boy really change his ways enough to change her heart?"
"When my math tutor made me sign a contract promising I wouldn't fall in love with him, I thought he was joking.
He wasn't.
Yes, Carter Hastings is the prince of Eden Falls Academy—one of the most beautiful humans on earth—and boy, does he know it. But I can use this to my advantage. Since I basically signed a paper saying I'd never catch feelings for him, it makes my plan even more perfect.
So I offer him a deal: a fake relationship. The arrangement helps Carter get revenge on his ex and helps me hide the fact that I'm not smart enough to be at this prestigious school. Win-win.
Only, as we pretend to be in a relationship, I find out he's different from what I expected. He's better. So much better. And when he kissed me last night, I just wanted it to be real.
But as I'm searching for a loophole in that stupid contract I signed, a huge family secret comes to light and all the sparks I started feeling for my fake boyfriend suddenly become forbidden.
I know I should walk away from him. That I should go back to keeping our tutoring sessions strictly professional . . . But I don't want to."
