Gibson Hollow

I rebuilt my grandmother's bakery from the ground up. Poured everything I had into making it thrive again-flour, sweat, and a whole lot of tears.Then she died. And her will blindsided me.If I'm not married by the time probate closes, I lose the bakery to my mother-the last person who should ever be trusted with it.Enter Bodie Gibson.Childhood friend turned enemy. The boy who used to bring me tea and peanut butter sandwiches…The cop who put my little brother behind bars.He offers me a way out: a fake marriage that keeps the bakery in my hands and our past buried where it belongs.It's just paperwork. A few public appearances. Nothing real.Except he still looks at me like he sees the girl I used to be.And when he kisses me it doesn't feel fake at all.In a town built on second chances, sometimes the only way forward is to rewrite the ending. Kait Nolan is stuck in an office all day, sometimes juggling all three of her jobs at once with the skill of a trained bear-sometimes with a similar temperament. After hours, she uses her powers for good, creating escapist fiction. The work of this Mississippi native is packed with action, romance, and the kinds of imaginative paranormal creatures you'd want to sweep you off your feet…or eat your boss. When she's not working or writing, she's in her kitchen, heading up a revolution to Retake Homemade from her cooking blog, Pots and Plots.

She walked into the masquerade like a dare-wearing a mask, a dress that could kill, and a look in her eyes I'd never seen before. I knew it was her. She didn't know I knew. Alia Gibson is my best friend's twin. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one girl I'm not supposed to want. I told myself I was just watching out for her. That's what friends do. But the truth? I've never wanted anything the way I want Alia. And if I cross that line... I'm not sure I'll ever come back. They walked away without ever saying what mattered most. But some sparks don't burn out-no matter how many years, secrets, or miles lie between them.
