Indie Clizby has the worst problem: she’s awkward around attractive men. Instead of saying, “Hi, I’m Indie,” she might say, “Hi, I’m yours.” She avoids interactions by researching day and night, wanting nothing more than to discover a cure for cancer—she made a promise long ago that she would. With piles of scholarly journals in her bag, Indie’s family drags her onto a cruise ship where she’s surrounded by attractive men who surprisingly don’t run from her quirky comments. The change of scenery and the men’s interest in Indie make her wonder—can romance and her job coexist? Not likely.

For Fliss, the prospect of a team building work trip fills her with dread. Mostly because she cannot stand her pushy colleague James, who often attempts to derail her brilliant plans. But when the two arrive in the Scottish Highlands, they find themselves facing a unique challenge: their boss has abandoned them in the middle of nowhere with only one tent, two sleeping bags and a few protein bars. Cut off from the outside world, the pair are forced to put aside their differences to weather the unpredictable elements of the Highlands and get home.

Sean has always tried to control her relationships, and at 29, she's had enough.

How I wanted the start of my science doctorate program to go: 1. I'd finally study the brain. 2. I'd no longer be a puppet in my parents' cosmetics company empire. 3. I'd date and get over my ex. That was my vision. My plan. I journaled about it all summer. I vowed that for once, I'd become the heroine of my own fairytale. Those heartfelt scribblings didn't get me far, though. Rather than steer my future into bold new territory, I actually drove my hot neighbor's classic Cadillac into a cement barrier. It was an accident, but Micah didn't see it that way—and he made that clear to the cops.

The brokenhearted billionaire visits Cozy Creek to escape. I never expected to become his fake girlfriend or fall madly in love... but here we are. My first impression of Zane Alexander isn't great. The second is worse, but when he uses his powers of persuasion to get me to hang out with him, I can't say no. We quickly go from familiar strangers to flirty friends. When my ex returns, Zane flawlessly pretends to be my boyfriend to protect me. He's so damn good at it, I almost believe it.
