Always the Boyfriend synopsis:
A winning lottery ticket.
A threatening message.
A…catnapping?
Hazel Jacobs is a self-proclaimed hot mess. She’ll be the first to tell you she’s not the tidiest person or the most responsible, and sure, maybe she is all over the place. But for the most part, she’s kept it together.
Until now.
Now her life is officially in shambles. Just when she thought her luck was finally turning around, boom. She’s being blackmailed. All feels hopeless until she meets Reid Mitchell.
Reid loves a routine, is a tiny bit uptight, and has been known to obsessively color-code his fridge. Oh, and he also has a small internet sleuthing hobby. When his sister asks him to help her coworker, Hazel, with a mess she’s found herself in, he can’t say no. He’s a people pleaser at heart, and hates seeing anyone in distress.
Despite Hazel overwhelming him at first, the more he gets to know her, the more he comes to realize that letting her down is not an option for him.
So the two become unlikely comrades in solving this crime. Searching for clues. A botched stakeout. Will they be able to figure this out? Or will the growing attraction between them become too distracting…
Authors note: Absolutely no cats come to harm or even experience an ounce of discomfort throughout this book.
Always the Bride synopsis:
Ruby Mitchell had been daydreaming about her brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember. West Rivers. Charming, handsome, friendly, and most importantly, he understands her better than anyone. But she’s trying to build her own business and, with her feelings for him unrequited, Ruby is forced to avoid him to try and save her heart.
West likes his life as it is. He has a job that actually interests him, a house he loves, and he can’t think of anything more important to him than the Mitchell family. Especially Ruby. She’s one of his closest friends and the thought of losing her is more than he can stomach. But she’s pulled away from him lately and the distance has been slowly killing him.
Now in a strange twist of fate, they’ve found themselves stranded across the country. Desperate to get home for the holidays, they have no choice but to embark on the journey together, even as everything goes wrong.
Ruby is trying to keep her feelings in check while West is frantic to salvage something he’s terrified he’s already lost forever.
