It's been two years since the ink dried on Jenna's divorce papers, and it's high time to dive back in.

Step one: find a romance-novel-worthy man for a hot summer fling. How hard could it be?

But disastrously bad flirting, a failed honky-tonk hookup, and a mix-up with one of Sunview's finest have Jenna seriously doubting if this is all worth it. Maybe she's better off leaving the world of love and sex to others—or maybe she's just looking in the wrong place...

If you like hot men in uniform, funny banter, nosy sisters, and a guaranteed HEA, Then Again is the book for you! This is a standalone romantic comedy.

\"They say nice guys always finish last. I say the only place that should apply is in the bedroom—it's just good manners, after all.\" – Brett MacKinnon, nice guy and frequent resident of the friend zone

LIV: There are really only three things I need in life: sex, baseball, and winning. My hot boyfriend and season tickets take care of the first two, while I always do my best to cover the last. So developing an unexpected crush on a new friend is more than a little inconvenient. I don't have anything but friendship to offer Brett, but with the way he looks at me, he has me wishing I did.

BRETT: I've been put in the friend zone so often, they've got a sandwich named after me. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. But when it comes to the delectable Liv, I'm determined to ditch the friend zone and show her I'm boyfriend material. Too bad the position's already been filled by a ball-playing caveman who could flatten me with his pinky.

What will it take to show Liv that nice guys can be more than just friends, and that love is the one game truly worth winning?

Fans of hot nice guys and friends-to-lovers romance will love The Way You Are! This is part of a series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone romantic comedy.

New town, new job, new neighbor... new crush.

I've got a serious problem and it goes by the name of Ted Jones. Even his name is nerdy! Combine that with his glasses, lean runner's frame, crazy smarts, and superhero addiction and he's got my lady engine revving hard.

What can I say? I've got a thing for hot nerds.

But our shy glances and awkward exchanges in the elevator aren't going to cut it. This nerd is mine; he just doesn't know it yet.
