"I would give her own paradise-her own Eden-if she would let me."
★ ★ ★
Lennon O'Connor isn't sure what she is doing. Working two jobs, living in a small apartment, and just trying to make enough money without having to depend on her frustrating and powerful parents-and to buy plenty of books-she wants nothing more than to move out of Larksdale, Oregon.
Enter Bellino Revenna. Tall, muscular, brooding, and usually grumpy, Lino was forced to move to the small town in Oregon. With much hesitation and a very long argument with his father, he opens a book store as a cover in hopes that he can hold off on disturbing the peace.
Add Lennon's sketchy boss, a shared wanderlust, along with a sprinkle of lies, and it's either a recipe for disaster or love.

Love Unscheduled
Liam Carter has it all-billion-dollar tech empire, international fame, and the world at his feet. But after a heartbreaking loss leaves him a single father, the only thing he truly cares about is his four-year-old daughter, Sophie. Retreating from the spotlight to a quiet suburban neighborhood, Liam expects peace, privacy, and zero complications. What he doesn't expect is her. Emily Rivera is the warm-hearted, no-nonsense nanny who just moved in next door. She's used to wrangling kids, not navigating the complicated world of celebrity neighbors. But when a chance encounter turns into an unexpected friendship, Emily finds herself drawn to the man behind the headlines-the exhausted father, the lonely heart, the guarded soul. He's her opposite in every way: wealthy, high-profile, emotionally closed-off. She's grounded, ordinary, and has no interest in dating anyone-especially not her neighbor. But between shared cups of coffee, late-night talks across the fence, and Sophie's growing attachment to Emily, something undeniable begins to grow. And when the world comes knocking again, Liam will have to choose: keep hiding behind his carefully built walls-or open his heart to the one person he never saw coming.Complete
