An addicting small town, single dad, grumpy x sunshine, fake fiancé romance.
My first mistake was kissing a hot cowboy.
My second was agreeing to be his fake fiancée to save his handsome hide in a custody battle.
My third…well, there’s still time…
Single dad Luke Reilly doesn’t trust women who leave for greener pastures. He’s fiercely protective of his four-year-old son and even more protective of his own heart.
But then he met me, or more accurately, my lips…
I’m a free-spirited city gal, newly unemployed and in desperate need for an adventure. Between renovating the dilapidated ranch I inherited with my sisters, the last thing I need is a broody cowboy, even if he is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
But when Luke asks me for a quick favor: block him from view of his vindictive ex, I do one better and plant a kiss right on his lips.
His response? Introducing me as his fiancée. Now I’m fake-engaged to a grumpy single dad who seems more irritated by me than grateful for the favor.
But his little boy wins me over, and long afternoons of babysitting lead to longer nights of getting to know Luke Reilly. Photo shoots and fake kisses to document our “relationship” start to feel dangerously real.
Pretty soon, my body can’t tell the difference–and neither can my heart.
When the call of a fresh adventure beckons, I’m tempted to protect myself and leave this town in the dust.
Because I think I’ve just made my third mistake—falling hopelessly in love.

He was my older brother’s best friend, my protector, my friend, and the guy I had loved for as long as I could remember.
I bided my time, waiting until I was old enough to make my move.
But the moment I finally worked up the courage to tell him how I felt, he shattered my heart without a second thought.
Since then, I’ve done everything I could to avoid him.
Too bad that’s no longer an option… Because now I’m on a plane to Las Vegas for a combined bachelor and bachelorette weekend. Which means spending the next few days with Atlas is unavoidable.
If I can’t escape him, I’ll settle for making the football superstar regret ever rejecting me.
But you know what they say about Vegas…
What happens there stays there.
Well, unfortunately for us, some things can’t be buried under those neon lights.
After five years of writing contemporary romance on a relentless release schedule, I’m burned out. My last two books have barely made a ripple, and for the first time in my career, I’m not sure I have another love story in me. So when my agent offers me a secluded stay at the luxurious Belicourt Resort in the Teton Mountains, I’m ready to say yes.
The resort’s general manager, Porter Garrison, wants me to write the story of the Belicourt’s most famous resident: The Lady in Red, a mysterious spirit who has supposedly haunted the hotel for decades. But the project offers something more—a chance to step outside my genre and create an entirely new series. Maybe it’s exactly what I need to fall in love with writing again.
Then Gaige Keaver gets in the way.
The ridiculously sexy ski instructor has a habit of appearing whenever I’m trying to work—and making it nearly impossible to remember why I swore off men, romance, and happily-ever-afters. And the Lady in Red seems determined to meddle in my life, too, leaving clues to her own mysterious past and somehow nudging Gaige and me closer together.
Soon, I’m not sure whether I’m writing the Lady in Red’s love story…or living one of my own.
Maybe I came to the Belicourt to find my next story.

I built my football career by keeping everyone at a distance. Then I met my sister’s best friend.
For years, winning was the only thing that mattered.
I was the perfect star quarterback. Focused. Controlled. A team player. I smiled for the cameras, kept my head down, and made damn sure the people I loved stayed safely out of reach.
Until my best friend’s bachelor party forced me back into the life I’d left behind.
And there she was. Lily Callahan.
My sister’s best friend. A single mother with a heart too big for her own good. And someone I had absolutely no business wanting.
It started with one conversation while my defenses were down and turned into hours together that replayed in my mind.
Then came the wedding. Christmas. New Year’s. And suddenly, I was finding every excuse to return to the city I’d spent years avoiding.
Except it wasn’t the city pulling me back.
It was Lily.
She makes me want things I gave up on a long time ago. A home. A family. A future beyond football. Even her daughter has become someone I would protect with my life.
But wanting Lily means letting her past my walls. And I know what happens when I let people get too close.
I’m already the reason someone I love got hurt. I won’t risk becoming the mistake that costs Lily and her daughter everything.
But what happens when the woman I’m determined to protect is the one person who makes me want to stop running?

🥯Review🥯 Valentina was raised in a mafia lifestyle until her father walked away and they relocated to Nashville. She is content with the life she has built as she is close to her family, has an apartment she likes and runs a successful bakery. When she meets Shane, her new neighbor, there is no denying the chemistry and connection between them despite the secrets.
Shane is an undercover detective who has been assigned to investigate not only Valentina’s family but her as well. From the first time he saw her he was drawn to her and spending time with her only escalated those feelings. He knows that she is innocent, but he also knows that when she finds out who he is and why he has come into her life that it may not be a betrayal she can forgive.
The group chats with the apartment building was humorous and the relationship she had with her best friend Alfred heartwarming. Shane is torn between his loyalty to his job and his love for Valentina, especially as the suspense part of the story amps up. Teddy Hamilton gave a masterful performance as Shane as you could feel every emotion while Shiloh James brings out both the sassy and caring sides of Valentina.
