And the more time Marcus spends with her, the more he realizes he’s not just crushing on his teacher—he’s falling for her.

She’s boho. He’s a CEO. A match that shouldn’t work, yet they’re completely gone for each other from the start. Arizona businessman and newly discovered McKay love child Gavin Daniels is awarded sole custody of his teenage daughter, Sierra. Gavin moves them to Wyoming, even if he’s unsure where they fit in the McKay family dynamic. While he believes it’ll be good for his daughter, he worries it might be bad for him, because their new housemate, Rielle, is a whole lot hotter than he remembered. Rielle Wetzler has finally overcome the stigma of having hippie parents and getting knocked up at age sixteen. Although her daughter Rory is off at college, financial difficulties still plague Rielle, forcing her to sell her struggling B&B to Gavin. He graciously allows her to live in it, but now Gavin is in Sundance to claim the house that’s rightfully his. And to further complicate matters, her long-dormant libido is definitely all-in with this newly buff Gavin—who has the take-charge attitude to prove he’s all McKay. Sharing a roof is too much temptation, and before long, Gavin and Rielle are sharing a bed. Meanwhile Sierra’s life in small town Wyoming is as dull as she’d feared, with one exception: a gorgeous, brooding high school senior named Boone West. Their easy friendship keeps Sierra grounded in this new reality where her father is in love, and it seems they’re related to everyone in the county. Can Gavin and Rielle find the right balance to share their hearts, lives and families forever?

**A standalone Romantic Comedy ** I was trying to live every woman's dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of thirty-two. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that's been fun. Then, life pitched me a curve-ball in the form of a retired major-league baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he's single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch. Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face. With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact that he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year. That’s when it happened…my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning. The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near. Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change? *A humorous office romance filled with unfiltered satire, a little baseball, and comedy packed moments women will laugh out loud at."
