*WINNER of the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards for Series Fiction (Jasmine Falls Love Stories series)**
One week. Two rivals. Can they survive working together when their pretend chemistry becomes the real deal?
Last week Sadie Harper was living her best life as a beloved park ranger in a cozy woodland cabin. This week, she's lost it all-and is stuck playing hostess at her parents' inn and feeling like a failure. Things can't possibly get any worse... until the one person she never wanted to see again checks into the Jasmine Falls Inn.
James Fielding: famous travel writer, internet darling...and Sadie's biggest college rival. Back then, he turned everything into a competition-his sexy smirk was the perfect reminder of how she was never quite good enough. Now his new TV show could mean a boon for Jasmine Falls' small businesses-so everyone's counting on Sadie to tamp down her snark and show him a slice of small-town heaven.
Their sizzling chemistry is TV gold: Sadie's sharp tongue is the perfect complement for James's easygoing charm. When James's producer offers Sadie a lead role, she jumps at the chance to one-up James. But as the filming brings them closer, Sadie can't ignore the way his fiery stare still fills her chest with butterflies, or the way his teasing makes her heart flutter.
This is TV-just pretend. But James isn't that great an actor, and Sadie soon realizes that there's nothing fake about the way he's stolen her heart.
From the IPPY-award-winning author of The Almost Lovebirds comes a sweet, closed-door romance that will leave you swooning. Each book in the Jasmine Falls series can be enjoyed as a standalone-and as always, the HEA is guaranteed. Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams, Katherine Center, and B.K. Borison.
