Based on the novels 'Betting on You' and 'Better Than the Movies' by Lynn Painter - featuring her characters, her small-town world, and the story of what might've happened if Charlie Sampson moved to town.
When Charlie Sampson moves in with Wes Bennett, the last person Ruby ever expected to see again is him - the guy she used to bicker with every summer. Now he's not just back in town, he's her coworker, her fake wingman, and her rival in the most ridiculous bet: who can land their crush first?
She's set on Jordan Tasky.
He's chasing Summer Clark.
The rules are simple: no distractions, no feelings, and definitely no kissing.
They bet on everyone else.
Then they bet on each other.
And lost the one thing they never expected to need.

Steeped in You
[2025 Wattys Shortlist] After getting cut off by her wealthy, business-obsessed parents, Emily Grayson finds herself broke, stranded in a small town, and working at a boba café, something she never imagined in her wildest dreams. Her first days on the job are a disaster, her patience (and Jake Sherlind's) running thinner than the tapioca pearls she keeps burning. Jake, the charming yet hardworking guy with big dreams, has no patience for entitled rich girls who don't know how to hold a job. But when Emily starts proving him wrong, their tension brews into something neither of them expected. Between spilled drinks, late-night confessions, and an orange stray cat that won't leave the back door, Emily begins to wonder... maybe losing everything was exactly what she needed to find herself. A small-town rom-com about growth, second chances, and love that's better steeped with time.Complete
