Best-Selling Author, Celebrated for His Power to Captivate and Inspire

Kayla Sinclair comes home to Cedar Glen with one goal: restore the town’s aging community center before it’s lost for good. The grant deadline is tight, the volunteer crew is chaotic, and small-town gossip moves faster than fresh paint. If Kayla slips even once, the project fails—and so does the fresh start she’s fighting to build for herself and her daughter.

Daniel Moore didn’t plan on getting involved. A steady-handed contractor and devoted single dad, he’s learned to keep his life simple and his heart guarded. But when Kayla’s restoration hits unexpected setbacks—and the pressure starts closing in—Daniel steps in with more than tools and timelines. He offers calm when Kayla feels cornered, humor when the stress turns sharp, and support that doesn’t ask her to be anyone but herself.

Between school events, late-night work sessions, and a town that’s watching their every move, Kayla and Daniel find something neither expected: a connection that feels safe… and a second chance that feels real.

But when complications threaten to derail the project and old wounds resurface, Kayla must decide what she truly wants—control, certainty, and distance… or the kind of love that shows up, stays steady, and chooses her back.

A Clean & Wholesome Small-Town Romance filled with heart, hope, and just the right touch of humor—The Second Chance Project is a feel-good story about rebuilding what matters and discovering that sometimes the best new beginning is the one you never saw coming.

A month at a luxurious wellness retreat was supposed to be Ava Chen’s chance to rebuild—quiet classes, clean living, and a paycheck big enough to help her finally put her shattered life back together. Instead, she arrives at Havenbrook Retreat and walks straight into the last person she ever expected to see again:

Elias Grant.
Her ex-fiancé.
The man who left without explanation—and the man whose belongings are sitting neatly inside the cabin assigned to her.

The staff insists it’s no mistake. According to Havenbrook’s records, Ava and Elias are enrolled in their exclusive Partners Reconnection Program, a monthlong “immersive experience” designed to help couples heal, communicate, and rediscover intimacy. There’s just one problem—they’re not a couple. They’re not even friends. And Ava has sworn she wants nothing to do with him ever again.

But Havenbrook is fully booked. Her employment depends on staying. And Elias seems startlingly willing to play along.

Because he’s not here for yoga or meditation.
He’s undercover.

An unexplained medical emergency, suspicious financial trails, and a wellness empire hiding more than serenity have drawn Elias deep into a quiet investigation—and Ava’s unexpected presence threatens both his cover and his carefully constructed distance. To protect her, he needs her to pretend they’re still together.

To protect herself, Ava needs rules: no touching off-camera, no late-night nostalgia, and absolutely no kissing.

Yet proximity has its own ideas.

Forced to share a cabin—and a bed—the walls between them begin to crack. Old wounds resurface. Long-buried longing stirs. And every day they spend navigating couple’s therapy exercises, partner workshops, and slow-burn reconnection sessions pushes Ava toward the truth she’s spent eighteen months avoiding:

They never stopped loving each other.
They just stopped believing they deserved it.

But Havenbrook is not the sanctuary it pretends to be. When evidence points to a larger, more dangerous scheme—one that threatens both guests and staff—Ava and Elias must work together to expose the truth. And this time, walking away isn’t an option.

Perfect for readers who love second chance romance, fake relationship romance, and forced proximity romance with a pulse of romantic suspense, The Retreat Reset blends emotional vulnerability, sharp banter, and irresistible tension. As Ava and Elias navigate a world of healing, secrets, and fragile hope, they’ll discover that sometimes the hardest journey is the one back to each other.

For fans of Ali Hazelwood, Emily Henry, and Elena Armas—this wellness retreat romance is your next binge-worthy obsession.

Kayla Waters doesn’t lose control. Not in meetings, not on deadlines, and definitely not on the biggest IT build of her career. As a seasoned IT director, she’s fought too hard for her seat at the table to let a construction team treat critical infrastructure like an optional line item.

Jeff Nester doesn’t do chaos. As the construction supervisor on Arden Tower, he’s responsible for keeping budget, schedule, and a hundred moving parts in line. Scope creep is how projects fail—and he refuses to let anyone, especially a sharp-tongued client rep, derail the job.

The problem is… Kayla isn’t wrong. And Jeff isn’t either.

Forced into hours of weekly design sessions and on-site walkthroughs, their workplace enemies to lovers tension turns into something neither of them planned: mutual respect, reluctant laughter, and a slow-burning attraction that hits hardest when the stakes are highest. As pressure mounts, an urgent vendor delay throws them into joint crisis mode, and late-night problem-solving reveals the truth beneath both of their armor—two divorced people who want control because trust once cost them everything.

But when executive politics threaten to make Kayla the scapegoat for overruns, Jeff faces the choice that defines him: protect his career… or stand up for what’s right, even if it means confronting his own boss.

Blueprints and Bandwidth is a smart, feel-good forced proximity romance packed with banter, competence chemistry, and a steady, satisfying payoff. If you love a romantic comedy novella with realistic workplace stakes, a divorced couple second chance, and a slow-burn build that turns “professional conflict” into “can’t-stop-thinking-about-you,” this quick read is for you.

Perfect for fans of an office building construction romance with an ambitious IT director romance at its heart—plus plenty of slow burn romcom quick read vibes that deliver all the swoon without the drag.

Merger season at BeaconPoint is supposed to be about stability. KPIs. Optics. Confidence.

So when PR decides the company needs a “human story” to calm clients and impress investors, the solution is absurdly simple: pick two beloved employees, put them in the spotlight, and sell the illusion of perfect chemistry.

There’s just one problem.

Kaitlynn Reyes and Kyle Brennan already have chemistry.

They’re best friends. Battle-tested teammates. The kind of pair who can defuse an outage and eviscerate a spreadsheet in the same hour. But when they’re “voluntold” to fake-date as the official Faces of Stability, their private dynamic becomes public property—complete with HR paperwork, scripted photo ops, and colleagues who won’t stop reading meaning into every glance.

Kaitlynn likes control. Clean plans. Clear boundaries. Feelings are… messy variables.

Kyle is the steady one—wry, loyal, quietly brilliant—until the performance starts blurring into something he actually wants.

And just as the fake relationship starts to feel dangerously real, a sabotage thread ignites inside the company: a client demo goes sideways, access logs don’t add up, and someone powerful is determined to rewrite the narrative at any cost. Now Kaitlynn and Kyle have to do more than pretend to be in love—they have to protect each other, outsmart corporate politics, and keep BeaconPoint from imploding… all while their hearts refuse to stay “professional.”

Because in a workplace where everything is brand-managed, the riskiest thing they can do is tell the truth.

The Fake Dating Protocol is a fast, funny, emotionally grounded workplace romcom packed with:
* Best friends to lovers
* Forced proximity and fake dating
* Smart banter and corporate chaos
* Slow-burn tension with high payoff
* A satisfying HEA where consent and communication win

Optics may be policy—but love doesn’t follow the script.

Harper Lane can stage a Brooklyn brownstone like it’s a magazine spread. Neutral pillows, perfect lighting, the scent of “fresh start” in the air. Easy.

What she can’t stage? Her marriage.

With their home on the market and their relationship hanging by a thread, Harper and Ben are determined to make one thing go right: the sale. But every open house turns into a new kind of chaos. Nosy neighbors sniff for drama. A ruthless developer circles with an offer that comes with strings attached. A social-media storm makes their private life feel like public property. And the more the world watches, the harder it becomes to pretend they’re fine.

Ben is done disappearing behind “work stress” and silence. Harper is done carrying the entire emotional load and calling it independence. If they’re going to survive closing day, they’ll have to do the one thing neither of them is good at anymore: show up, tell the truth, and stay in the room when it gets uncomfortable.

Because the house isn’t the only thing being sold.

Funny, heartfelt, and brimming with Brooklyn charm, Open House, Closed Hearts is a swoony romantic comedy about second chances, messy growth, and the courage to rebuild love without an audience. Expect sharp banter, real emotional payoff, and just the right amount of heat (closed door, no explicit content) as Harper and Ben discover that the best offer isn’t the one with the most money… it’s the one that comes with a future.
