    About this series

    I love three things in this world more than life itself:

    1. My family and housemates (both current and former)

    2. Musicals

    3. My best friend, Eric Moody

    The first two are no surprise to anyone who knows me.

    The third is a secret I’ll carry to my grave.

    Because even though Eric fits in well with my crazy family and he’s the outgoing complement to my quiet self, we want different things. I want him. He wants something I can never give. And I refuse to sacrifice his happiness for my own.

    Most of the time, I manage to keep my feelings for him under lock and key.

    But things change when Eric moves in with me temporarily.

    Now, he’s here all the time. And it’s harder and harder not to imagine what life together could be like … if only. The final straw? When he starts helping me prepare for my (forced) lead role in a local musical.

    Because yeah. You try holding back the tidal wave of feelings you’ve been keeping at bay when your sexy best friend offers to “practice kiss” you.

    My fortitude is headed straight for the edge of a cliff—and the thrill of the impending fall has never felt so electrifying. Or so terrifying.

    Perfect for fans of:

    ✔️flirtatious banter

    ✔️best friends to lovers

    ✔️temporary roommates

    ✔️musical theater references

    ✔️found family

    ✔️attractive goofball heroes

    ✔️“practice” kissing between best friends

    Belonging With Her Best Friend is Book 4 in the California Dreamin’ sweet romantic comedy series. Each story stands alone, but you will get more enjoyment out of them if you listen in order. This single-POV novel is filled with all the sizzling romantic tension and swoons possible without on-page intimacy.

      Connor is the last guy in the world I should fall for. He's the resident office flirt. I'm the quirky Pride & Prejudice-loving editor who uses big words and dresses like the world's non-sexiest librarian. We have nothing in common. And we're competitors for the same job. Game on, right? May the best person win and all that? Fine by me. I'm happy to hold him at arms' length forever. And considering I'm practically the only woman in the office he's never flirted with, he's obviously happy to do the same. But when we're stuck overnight in our office building thanks to an earthquake-induced landslide (don't worry, we're totally fine), things between us start to change. I begin to realize that Connor isn't actually the jerk I thought he was—the kind who leads women on, just like my ex. And when he offers to attend my ex's wedding as my fake boyfriend, things get even more interesting. Especially when he gives me that much-too-chaste kiss... But I can't fall for him. That would be repeating the same mistake, just with a different guy. Tell that to my dumb heart, though—the one that seems to think Connor Bryant is my Mr. Darcy. Fans of Sarah Adams will love this closed-door romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content.

      Rule Number 1 of being a dating coach? Don’t fall for your client. It’s as simple as that—or is it? I like rules. Rules make me happy. Rules keep me in control. Most importantly, rules keep my heart safe. But when I suddenly find myself out of a job and blackballed by my Wicked Ex-Boss, the rules of the game change—and now I'm opening shop as a dating coach. Local coffee shop barista Josh Gregory agrees to be my guinea pig, and I jump at the chance to help him land the woman of his dreams. But as Josh and I work together to “improve” his dating game, I start to wish that woman was ... me. Because I can’t help but be drawn to those mysterious blue eyes of his, his quiet wit, and the kindness and patience he offers me over and over again. And fine, the way he looks without a shirt on isn’t bad either ... But I’ve got a job to do, a business to run. So I’m keeping things professional between us. Pro. Fes. Sion. Al. Because … rules. Or are some rules just begging to be broken? Fans of Sarah Adams will love this closed-door romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content.

      Ever heard of love at first sight? What about love at first push? Because I may have hurtled Topher to the ground so that car wouldn’t hit him, but I’m pretty sure I’m the one who fell that December day. How could I not? There’s just something about him. It’s not just that he’s drop-dead handsome, like Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth had a baby. Or that he talks in a delicious British-like accent and calls me “love” (swoony swoon swoon, am I right?!). Or that he’s impeccably dressed all. the. time. He’s also mysterious. And I feel like he really gets me, even though we’re so different. Like he...sees me. Which is kind of terrifying for a girl whose past keeps her off social media and out of the public eye—for good reason. But as long as we stay in our little bubble, I feel safe with Topher. As long as he’s just an average Joe and I’m me, absolutely nothing can tear us apart. Fans of Sarah Adams and Emma St. Clair will love this closed-door romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice, but no on-page explicit content.
