Kira has a system. It involves observation, data collection, and very clear rules, especially Rule #1: Do not let Ethan Fletcher get too close. Which shouldn't be a problem. Ethan is loud, chaotic, and deeply committed to being the most annoying person in her life. He climbs things he shouldn't climb, says things he shouldn't say, and does things he shouldn't do. Now, for reasons that are still unclear, he has a project he swears only Kira can help him with. There's a spreadsheet. There are rules. There are objectives. (There are also several suspicious attempts to add "kissing" to all of them.) Kira is determined to keep things under control. Friendly. Logical. Safe. Because Ethan is... well, Ethan. The guy next door. Her best friend's brother. The son her father never had. Practically family. Definitely not someone she wants to kiss. Right?

Standalone Sweet Romance:- Some misunderstandings last a lifetime. Others just need one more holiday to fix them. Sabrina Quinn has her plan for this holiday all worked out. Step one: Avoid Cole Sumpter. Step two: Definitely avoid Cole Sumpter. This plan flies out the window the moment she sees him, and her heart remembers the boy she spent so many of her happiest moments with. Cole-the boy with the sun-bleached hair, surfer smile, and the annoying ability to act like nothing in the world bothers him-hasn't joined their combined family holidays in 15 months. Which would be fine... if Sabrina didn't still remember exactly how their last holiday together ended-and how much it hurt. Now they're stuck together for one more holiday before their lives change forever. Sabrina is heading into her final year of high school, and Cole is about to start university. Between ridiculous arguments, awkward almost-moments, and a misunderstanding that refuses to die, Sabrina is starting to suspect something that gives her hope: Maybe Cole isn't as nonchalant as he pretends. And maybe their story is only just beginning.
