Will to Love (Lifestyle by Design, Book 1)


She shows up to her sister’s engagement party with a pretend boyfriend … only to meet a man who makes her heart race.

An instant-attraction romance between a woman burned by love and the man who’s decided he doesn’t need it… until her.

Clarise Carson has survived plenty of awkward family moments, but her sister’s engagement party might top them all. With her newly-engaged sister on a matchmaking mission, Clarise refuses to appear dateless and unlucky in love. Her solution? Bring her charming, off-limits (and very gay) best friend as a fake date for the night.

Will Matthews has one goal at the party—networking for his business. Romance isn’t on his agenda, so it doesn’t matter that Clarise appears to be taken… until sparks fly hotter than either expected.

She’s sworn off heartbreak. He’s sworn off love. So why do they suddenly feel like each other’s perfect match?

Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design, Book 2)


She agreed to a fling. But falling for a man who never stays wasn’t part of the plan.

A fling-to-forever romance between a woman who believes she’s not beautiful and a player only looking for some fun.

Jessa Allen is used to blending in. Practical, humble, and convinced she’s nothing special, she brushes off compliments and hides behind her own doubts, even when her friends insist she’s selling herself short. So when Rob Granger—charming, irresistibly attractive, and very much out of her league—asks her out, Jessa assumes it’s a joke. It isn’t.

Rob is a self-confessed playboy who has absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He values his freedom first and foremost, and his expanding business is the only thing he is committed to. But Jessa draws him in like a moth to a flame, and resisting her isn’t an option he wants to take.

Their no-strings fling soon threatens to break their carefully constructed rules. Can Jessa let herself risk her heart for a man who cannot promise her tomorrow? And can Rob finally discover that love is not a trap but might be the very thing that sets him free?

Ray of Love (Lifestyle by Design, Book 3)


She’s not ready to fall in love again. He wants to be her forever.

An off-limits, secret romance between a woman with a guarded heart and her best friends’ boss who’s all in from the start.

Faye Summers isn’t ready for anything serious. After another painful breakup, she’s determined to break her pattern of falling too fast and watching love fall apart. Wanting to ensure she’s fully healed before embarking on another relationship, she’s choosing freedom, fun, and no strings attached. When Ray Thackery—her best friends’ enigmatic boss—asks her out, she agrees… on two conditions: keep it casual and keep it quiet. The last thing she wants is to make things complicated with her friends if things go sideways.

But Ray has waited long enough. He’s hidden his feelings for Faye for over a year, biding his time. Now that she’s single again, he’s not wasting his chance. Except he wants far more than a casual affair.

What begins as a secret, passionate romance soon tests them both. Faye is determined to take it slow, while Ray is eager for them to take a chance on something real. Can they find a way to meet in the middle—or will their opposing approaches keep them apart?
