“Who would you be if you weren’t afraid of who you think you are?”


Tillie Jean has been flirting with Max for the last four years to get under his and her brother Cooper’s skin. Max moves into the house next to Tillie Jean for the off-season and when a prank goes horribly wrong things heat up between Max and Tillie Jean. The prank war heats up, Tillie Jean makes it her mission to get her grumpy bear next door to have some fun, and Max is determined not to ruin his friendship with Cooper. Tillie Jean’s Siren song might just be too hard for Max to resist any longer.

I’m wired to think Max Cole is hotter than a bacon grease fire.


I was super excited to be returning to the Fireballs and Shipwreck. I love this town and everything about it. I could totally see myself living there. Max and Tillie Jean have some awesome, glittery tension that made this slow-burn so worth the wait for them to come together. There were the fun small town shenanigans that we always enjoy when visiting Shipwreck with all the usual suspects like Long Beak Silver, Sue the goat and the entire Rock family. I can not wait for Cooper’s book.

She’s North and I’m a compass. The steel to my magnet. And for every step I order myself to take away from her, this invisible connection carries me two steps closer instead.
