Apple Valley Love Stories

The first rule of being a winner? Never lose your heart… People think it's easy being Felix Dodd III, and sure, the legacy and inheritance aren't exactly terrible. But the name comes with so many strings; my hands feel permanently tied. Like I'm stuck following in my father's footsteps. Like I can't trust people's intentions. Like my grandmother wants me settled down before my thirtieth birthday. I've got less than zero interest in marriage, ever since my one attempt at love crashed and burned. But Grams won't let me access my trust until I'm engaged. Which means I need a fiancée. Someone who's looking for quick cash and a quicker getaway. Someone like Lucy Devlin. She's got less than zero interest in me. But if I can get her to play along - just long enough to fool my grandmother - Lucy will be a whole lot richer, Grams will be none the wiser, and I'll stay heartbreak free. Just as long as I remember the new rule: Don't love Lucy for real. This heartwarming, hilarious romantic comedy has all the sizzle and swoon, but no explicit content.

Spencer Crane thinks I'm a human tornado. I think he's a calendar app come to life. While he schedules? I spin-out. When I spontaneously combust? He overcompensates. And this is why convincing my new boss to hire him is a completely brilliant idea. You see, workplace romance is forbidden, but attraction between total opposites like Spencer and me is a non-issue. I repeat: Non. Issue. I only wish I hadn't discovered Mr. Clark Kent Glasses is (secretly) scorchingly hot. Even worse, he's funny and chivalrous, and shoving me straight out of my Tess the Mess comfort zone. But we both need this job. Like, a lot. And if our boss catches wind of any fraternization, we'll be fired. Not to mention my heart's already at risk of being axed. So when Spencer starts treating me like I'm a magnet and he's a fistful of iron, I've got a tornado-sized problem on my hands. Starting now, I'm doubling down. I absolutely cannot fall for Spencer Crane. Even if my total opposite might be everything I need… This heartwarming, hilarious romantic comedy has all the sizzle and swoon, but no explicit content.

Not everyone is destined to live happily ever after, right? I'd be fine with averagely ever after. Lower expectations mean less heartbreak. But then I meet Mac and Daisy. Single dad Mac needs a temporary nanny for his daughter, Daisy. I need a second job until my promotion kicks in. It's the perfect arrangement…until it isn't. Because who can resist a dad buying ballerina tights after a day spent in a hard hat? Not me, that's for sure. Now, Mac's green eyes and Daisy's crooked pigtails have me dreaming about a future I can't give them. I need to mend my own heart before I can focus on anyone else's. At least our arrangement is only for one month, so I won't have time to get attached to this man and his little girl-I'm absolutely positive. Well...I'm medium positive. Okay, I'm negative. This is a terrible idea. Because Mac is a fixer, and me? I'm a fixer-upper. So as I start to find healing in his little family, I'm forced to ask myself: What does this mean for my heart?

This isn't a wedding. This is war… I get it. We were in elementary school. Just a couple of kids on the playground. But after Nash Hendrix called me Enemy instead of Emily, his stupid nickname haunted me for years. Now our best friends are getting married, and they expect me to stand across the aisle from Nash the Ruiner without killing him? Whatever. I can survive that. It's only for one weekend. Until it's not. When I get roped into wedding planning at all the same places Nash is fundraising, I'm ready to blow up our truce. But the more time we spend together, the more I feel like…not murdering him. Is it possible Nash and I don't hate each other? No way. He's still my enemy. My big, dumb enemy. My big, dumb, gorgeous, sweet-smelling, smooth-talking - Emi, you're doomed. This heartwarming, hilarious romantic comedy has all the sizzle and swoon, but no explicit content.
