Thrilled to be chosen as a reality show contestant, Tara is even more excited her best friend Evan will be with her. She’s looking forward to getting away and relaxing. Though life seems perfect on the outside, it’s anything but. So a huge cash prize for pretending she’s in her favorite time period and time to figure life out? Sounds great to her!

Evan would do anything for Tara. Including living in the middle of nowhere as though it were the 1800s. It feels like the perfect time to take their relationship to the next level, and he can’t imagine a better place than Tara’s dream setting. Until he realizes just how many rules there were back then with relationships. Just one more thing to add to the list of complications as of late.

With a life-changing amount of money if they just make it those four weeks, Tara and Evan are determined to survive the worst the 1800s can throw at them—no plumbing, angry barn animals, dangers of rural living, rules around romance—and come out winners.

But the other couple with them, Jill and Mark, seem like they are up to something. Could it spell disaster for Tara and Evan’s relationship? It might just be this 1800s experiment is far more than either bargained for.

 

 

We weren’t supposed to kiss...again. Is it still a second chance when our first one was a secret?

Rewind: In high school, I was Little Miss Brainy Rebel Girl to my twin’s athletic Mr. Popularity. That also meant I avoided wading into the dating pool. Like a shark, it didn’t help that my protective brother probably scared away potential suitors.

Fast forward: He’s engaged, but our parents won’t let him tie the knot until I find a boyfriend. Now, he has guys lining up to date me. This only becomes an issue when his best friend, Redd, gets a hero’s welcome when he returns to play hockey for the Nebraska Knights.

Pause: Little does my brother know that Redd and I kissed on a senior year camping trip. After that, I swore off smooching forever. But I get looped into helping him fundraise for our old high school’s hockey team, and he and his adorable secret move into my grandmother’s old house.

We end up spending a lot of time together. Making pancakes, playing flashlight tag, going to the lake... The problem is we despise each other, or so I thought. Will things between us fizzle or will there be fireworks this 4th of July?

 

 

He’s the guy she loves to hate.

Emma Lindsor is a whipsmart, coffee-addicted, Austen-reading book snob, and she won't apologize for it. Not even when she's forced to appear on a panel of writers with her archnemesis, loudmouth Aidan Maxwell, a wildly successful bestseller thanks to his lowbrow crime thrillers.

His books outsell hers by millions, but even though he's the hottest thing in bookstores, Emma loathes everything he stands for: pretentious leather jackets, movie star good looks, shallow celebrity. And his books! Shudder. Car chases? Explosions? Blonde bombshell detectives? So gross.

But Emma is finally on the verge of everything she's ever wanted: all she needs for her new book to become The Next Big Thing is for New York's most respected critic, Luther Van Dijk, to give it his stamp of approval. Maybe then her famous mother will take Emma's writing career seriously.

One big problem: Aidan Maxwell blocks her at every turn. And the more they fight, the more she realizes that there's more to Aidan than a distractingly handsome face.

As their paths keep crossing and sparks fly, can they see past their hardwired ideas to star in a love story all their own?
