Fix Her Up
Georgette
Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she
picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her
seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning
children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own
expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the
World... whatever that means.
Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)
Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)
Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)
Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)
Living
her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date
since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot
sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love
affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who
paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image
than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?
Travis Ford
was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his
career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his
glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping
his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's
Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she
proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family
and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like
it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny,
full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants
her...
Love Her or Lose Her
Rosie and Dominic Vega are
the perfect couple: high school sweethearts, best friends, madly in
love. Well, they used to be anyway. Now Rosie’s lucky to get a caveman
grunt from the ex-soldier every time she walks in the door. Dom is
faithful and a great provider, but the man she fell in love with ten
years ago is nowhere to be found. When her girlfriends encourage Rosie
to demand more out of life and pursue her dream of opening a restaurant,
she decides to demand more out of love, too. Three words: marriage boot
camp.
Never in a million years did Rosie believe her stoic,
too-manly-to-emote husband would actually agree to relationship rehab
with a weed-smoking hippie. Dom talking about feelings? Sitting on
pillows? Communing with nature? Learning love languages? Nope. But to
her surprise, he’s all in, and it forces her to admit her own role in
their cracked foundation. As they complete one ridiculous—yet
surprisingly helpful—assignment after another, their remodeled
relationship gets stronger than ever. Except just as they’re getting
back on track, Rosie discovers Dom has a secret... and it could demolish
everything.
Tools of Engagement
Hair, makeup,
clothing, decor... everything in Bethany Castle's world is organized,
planned, and styled to perfection. Which is why the homes she designs
for her family's real estate business are the most coveted in town. The
only thing not perfect? Her track record with men. She's on a dating
hiatus and after helping her friends achieve their dreams, Bethany
finally has time to focus on her own: flip a house, from framework to
furnishings, all by herself. Except her older brother runs the company
and refuses to take her seriously.
When a television producer
gets wind of the Castle sibling rivalry, they’re invited on Flip Off, a
competition to see who can do the best renovation. Bethany wants
bragging rights, but she needs a crew and the only member of her
brother's construction team willing to jump ship is Wes Daniels, the new
guy in town. His Texas drawl and handsome face got under Bethany's skin
on day one, and the last thing she needs is some cocky young cowboy in
her way.
As the race to renovate heats up, Wes and Bethany are
forced into close quarters, trading barbs and biting banter as they
remodel the ugliest house on the block. It's a labor of love, hate, and
everything in between, and soon sparks are flying. But Bethany's
perfectly structured life is one kiss away from going up in smoke and
she knows falling for a guy like Wes would be a flipping disaster.
