Begging my brotherโs best friendโaka NHL superstar, Ian Foxโto help me ditch my V Card wasnโt part of my โmake it big in NYCโ plans.
But after years of being โcute little Evie,โ Iโm tired of waiting for Mr. Right. Iโm ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything Iโve ever wanted in a first time. Heโs kind, funny, confident, and has a legendaryโฆstick.
Seriously, his stick has its own page of search results, complete with gray sweatpants shots hot enough to make even a clueless virgin drool.
And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but weโre both grownups.
We can keep a secret. We have to since I just landed an art therapy job working with his troubled team.
All weโre doing is a little practice. (Orโฆehem…big practice.)
Too bad my heart didnโt get the memo.

EXCERPT
โNo good comes from insomnia scrolling or reading articles about sugar.โ I head into the kitchen, fetching the stepladder from beside the fridge.
โAnd what about withholding funny texts from one of your best friends?โ Jess tosses casually over her shoulder. โAny good come from that?โ
โIt was nothing,โ I say, collecting the small Tupperware container from under the pile of empty coffee bags weโre collecting to earn a free sock cap. โJust a goofy thing. Not worth sharing.โ
She hums thoughtfully. โRight. And I wasnโt secretly hoping to be teacherโs pet and get Ianโs monster cock to sledgehammer through my V-card.โ
I tumble off the stepladder in surprise, sending the cookies flying as I reach out to catch myself on the lower cabinets before I crush my tailbone on the tile.
โYou okay?โ Jess calls out.
โIโm fine,โ I say, my heart still racing.
โAnd the cookies?โ
I glance over to see the Tupperware container still closed though it has rolled halfway into Camโs giant tennis shoe. โAlso fine, but what are youโฆ How did youโฆโ
โNothing gets past me,โ Jess says. โYou should know that by now. I appear to see nothing, but I see all. Like the Eye of Sauron.”
SCREWED
Releasing April 19
My best friendโs older brother excels at many thingsโbeing a bossy grump, a jerk, and…this hopeless virgin’s fake fiancรฉ?
I need a guy who understands that this is all pretend, and who better than a man who can’t stand meโand vice versa? Besides, Derrick is the kind of cocky, confident, successful dude bro my gram will adore.
We’ll convince my ailing grandmother Iโm not going to die alone, Derrick will honor that favor he owes me, and we’ll part ways as enemies with NO benefits.
Itโs a rock-solid planโฆuntil it isnโt.
Turns out I may have made a slight miscalculation.
Now Derrick is charming my family, sweeping me off my feet, and making me want crazy things.
Suddenly, I think I might actually want him to be my first and maybeโฆmy only?
Yeah, Iโm screwed.
So bleeping screwed.
SEDUCED
Releasing June 7
Last night I made out with a gorgeous, funny, quirky older woman. Today I learned sheโs the new executive chef at my restaurant. AKA my new boss.
Yep, thatโs the hot mess Iโm in at the moment.
But the chemistry between Beth and me is even hotter.
The problem? Sheโs a single mom focused on helping her little girl adjust to life in the big city. Dating right nowโespecially a co-workerโis asking for trouble.
So, whatโs my next move? Seduce the hell out of the woman, of course.
I may still technically be hanging onto my V Card, but I know how to drive a woman wild in bed.
Even more importantly, I know Iโm the kind of man Bethโs looking for. I love hard, keep my promises, and Iโll put her and her daughter first.
And then I learn the real reason she’s been holding me at a distanceโฆ
Most men would be scared away. Me?
Iโm even more determined to prove I can make this wounded womanโs dreams come true.
SPARKED
Releasing July 26
Eight years ago, Sam Baxter and I were best friends and the goofiest computer nerds to matriculate from our swanky high school.
We also made a pact to meet up and get busy if one or both of us were still virgins by our twenty-fourth birthdays.
I assumed that was a silly pinky swear we’d both forgotten about until Sam shows up at my twenty-fourth birthday party. He no longer needs a V-Card puncher, but he’s ready and willing to help me out.
Boy is he ready…
Gone is the lanky kid with glasses who made me snort-laugh when we played video games. In his place is a sex god with massive biceps, designer clothes, and a smolder that transforms women to quivering puddles of lust.
Iโm out of my league with this new Sam.
But Iโm also every bit as drawn to him as I used to be.
So, when he dares me to give him three dates to prove he can be trusted to rock my world, I agree. What do I have to lose aside from my V Card?
Oh, right. My heartโฆ
