Maven Wood is ready for a fresh start. After an injury on the soccer field leads to her dropping out of college, she needs a change.

When her godfatherā€“the coach of the hottest team in the NFLā€“tells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesnā€™t cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, sheā€™s not sure how sheā€™s going to afford to make ends meetā€¦ until the cute kicker comes to her rescue.

Dallas Lansfield never thought heā€™d be a single dad, but heā€™s embracing the role as best as he can. With a four-year-old that has too much energy and not enough time on his hands, he needs help.

Desperately.

So when he hears that his coachā€™s goddaughter is looking for a way to make more money, he practically begs her to come be his nanny.

Maven and Dallas arenā€™t allowed to fall for each other. Getting involved with a player on the team is off-limits and a quick way to get fired. But what starts as a professional relationship turns into something deeper.

In front of people, theyā€™re colleagues. Behind the cameras, though, their attraction only grows. Late night talks turn into sharing a bed, and soon, Dallas would rather give up his career than give up the feelings he has for Maven.

He canā€™t have her. So why does he want her so damn bad?

For the Plot is a deliciously spicy, star-crossed lover, second chance rom-com. Itā€™s filled with so many tropesā€”one bed & he falls first & forced proximity, OH MY!ā€”and it ticked absolutely every one of my boxes. Joey and Cam are amazing together and watching them dance around their feelings for each other was just, chefā€™s kiss. And the settingā€”Greeceā€”you couldnā€™t ask for a more romantic backdrop.  Katie Van BruntĀ has written a book filled with comedy, heart, healthy relationship goals, and a whole lot of spice. She also touches on some difficult topics and traverses them with grace and empathy. Joeyā€™s […]

‘Loathe to Love You’ is comprised of a trio of STEMinist novellas: Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burnā€¦ ā– UNDER ONE ROOF ā– A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesisā€”it leads to combustion. As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not […]
