Fire and Sparks Series

As a firefighter, Kent Wakefield has been burned before, and not just by fire. So when Casey Bradford, his best friend's off-limits, gorgeous little sister, asks him to be her fake boyfriend, he flat out refuses. He doesn't do relationships, real or otherwise. But when his well-meaning, marriage-pushing mother corners him about his cousin's wedding, he panics and tells her he has a date. After being left at the altar, Casey is out of options. She needs a boyfriend ASAP or she can kiss her dreams goodbye. Who better than her brother's emotionally unavailable best friend, Kent. She may have nursed a childhood crush, but this arrangement will be purely platonic . . . that is until he kisses her and suddenly it gets a lot harder to remember it's all pretend. Contains mature themes.

Josie Moore is in big trouble. After a few too many glasses of wine and tired of her mother's constant disappointment, Josie tells what she thinks is a harmless lie-that she is sort of in a relationship with her childhood crush, firefighter Lincoln Bradford. The lie comes back to bite her when her mother moves back to town, and now Josie has to make the fantasy a reality. Lincoln has a perfect plan to protect his heart-and rule number one is: don't fall in love. There's no such thing as happily ever after, especially when it comes to love. But he didn't factor in Josie, his sister's quirky, gorgeous best friend. He agrees to help her, with the understanding that they're definitely not going to be anything more. But every time they try to break up, they only end up tangled deeper together. Lincoln's carefully laid plans are about to come crashing down . . . Contains mature themes.

What's a Cinderella to do when she's accidentally kicked her Prince Charming in the face and broken his nose? Hold an audition, of course.

After all, she and Rafferty are ex-best friends with a ton of past history. Surely they'll have zero chemistry onstage.

If Harper finds out the truth, it'll just reinforce every rumor she's believed over the years about Rafferty's bad rep. But when their chemistry explodes both onstage and off, he'll have to choose between happily-ever-after for himself . . . or the Cinderella he's fallen for. Contains mature themes.
