The Trouble series
Emily Lane is supposed to be on vacation. Instead, she’s in
a meeting where a new hire steals the promotion she’s been slotted for. To make
matters worse, the promotion thief is a bit of a jerk both inside and outside
cubicle walls.
Needing an escape, Emily takes on her sister’s dare to work
for her calligraphy company. After all, Emily has been perfecting her pointed
pen skills for over a decade. The only caveat: she will have to pretend she’s
her sister while finishing the projects for a high-profile client’s wedding.
It’s all going according to plan until Emily discovers the
client’s brother is none other than Beckett—Beck—Atteridge, office jerk and
promotion thief. He will keep her true identity a secret on one condition, she has to be his fake date for the wedding in Costa Rica.
As lines are blurred between what’s fake and reality, this
vacation will either be the escape Emily’s been looking for or a heartbreak she
doesn’t need.
April Baird is determined to finish an Ironman—even if it is 140.6 miles of misery in the form of swimming, cycling, and running. The distance would be daunting enough, but April is certain she has an Ironman curse. What else could explain the events that have caused her to DNF the last three years? Now, her coach has even bailed.
When Gabriel Torres discovers his rival, April’s former coach, has dropped her mid-season, he has a choice to make: stick with the plan and a team that’s sure to win or add April to his roster. She’s a risk—one that may cost him his chance at making the dream team of his coaching company, and yet, he sees a spark in her—something he’d pay good money to bottle and add to his other athletes’ electrolytes.
As training heats up, their relationship slips from professional to casual to something else entirely, and they soon realize there is more at stake than just a race.
