Betting on Love
3 primary works
I’m a nurse who wants to be a rock star—a secret I don’t even tell my best friends and roommates. So when one of them—Ruby—gets it into her head to find me a man, I can’t explain why I don’t have time for her matchmaking. Ruby turns it into a bet to make sure I go along with it. I say yes, but won’t matter. My ex taught me the most important thing about men: you can’t count on them.
When Ruby picks the worst possible guy for me, I know I’ve got this in the bag. Sure, our brand-new neighbor, Josh, is hot, but he’s the privileged scion of an Austin family whose money is so old, it’s dusty. Been there, done that, and I’m not going back.
The thing is, Josh isn't easy to shake, especially not after he discovers my secret double-life. With the help of a fake dating scheme, a cursing parrot, and our late-night balcony talks, I’m starting to think he’s a risk worth taking—even when all the evidence says I better run.
I don’t want a dating coach. Especially not one I’ve been in love with since junior high.
My roommates say I’m a workaholic. But when my boss temporarily suspends my extra lab time, my best friend and bossiest roommate makes fixing my love life her summer project.
My love life is non-existent, but makeover schemes and blind dates with her weird library patrons are not the answer. When she takes drastic measures and calls in her brother, Joey—one of Austin’s hottest heartthrobs—to consult, it’s my worst nightmare.
I fell for Joey when I was fourteen, and no other guy has ever measured up.
I’ll do anything to keep Joey from finding out—including putting up with a bombshell transformation—if it hides my true feelings when he looks at me. He rejected me once, and it nearly broke me. I’ll never give him that chance again.
Opposites attract in this swoony romcom. A brilliant geneticist versus a hotshot trendsetter she's secretly loved more than half her life. Dive in for meddling roommates, quirky neighbors, Ahab the cursing parrot, found family, a sneaky matchmaker, and makeover shenanigans.
Betting on the Best Friend's Brother follows characters introduced in Book 1 of the Betting on Love series but is written as a standalone.
An intense programmer and a hard partying social butterfly have nothing in common...
But the sparks fly anyway when Madison Benedict offers Oliver Hayes a quiet space to work in the daylight hours of Austin's premiere nightclub where she makes major bank working bottle service for VIPs.
Oliver sees more to Madison than she ever shows the rest of the world, and as he begins to challenge her choices, she finds it harder and harder to hide...herself. Her ambitions. Her dreams.
And her feelings.
But Oliver isn't the only one who sees past the exterior everyone else takes for granted. Madison sees a man driven by secrets, and she's determined to uncover them.
Will their determination to see behind the other's mask send them each further into hiding? Or will their teasing and scorching kisses draw them deeper into a relationship each of them is sure they don't want?
