Rule one: Never fall for your brother’s best friend.

Rule two: If you do… maybe don’t spend the next thirteen years comparing every other man to him.

Oops.

When Travis Campbell vanished from my life, he took my teenage crush with him.

Now he’s back.

Unfortunately, he’s somehow transformed from goofy best friend into a ridiculously hot, tattooed bartender with a permanent scowl and the kind of smile that should honestly require a warning label.

So naturally my long-buried feelings make an immediate and spectacular comeback.

Because I make excellent life choices.

The problem?

Behind the sarcasm, muscles, and bartender swagger is a man carrying enough emotional baggage to qualify for excess luggage. Travis is convinced he’s too broken for love, too damaged for happy endings, and absolutely not worth the risk.

Clearly, someone has to prove him wrong.

Between disastrous family dinners, questionable dating advice, relentless teasing, late-night confessions, and enough chemistry to short-circuit common sense, I’m determined to show Travis he’s more than enough and always has been…

…even if falling for my brother’s best friend again might be the craziest idea I’ve ever had.

Safe With Her is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy featuring:

• Brother’s best friend
• Second chance
• Grumpy bartender × sunshine heroine
• Found family
• Protective hero
• Slow-burn chemistry
• Banter, chaos, and plenty of heart

She accidentally told her oldest friend she had a boyfriend.

Now she just has to convince him.

Alice Sutton has spent her entire life believing in grand romances, meet-cutes, and happily-ever-afters. Unfortunately, at thirty-six, she’s still spectacularly single. So when she’s invited to her childhood best friend’s wedding, panic—and one tiny little lie—lead her to name a boyfriend she doesn’t actually have.

The boyfriend in question?

Owen Shea.

Grumpy, tea-drinking, routine-loving Owen would rather spend time with his dachshund, Paul, than make small talk with another human being. The last thing he wants is to attend a wedding full of strangers pretending to be someone’s devoted partner.

But somehow, he says yes.

As Alice and Owen stumble through Operation Wedding, fake couple photos, awkward family questions, and increasingly believable chemistry, Alice starts wondering if she’s finally found the romance she’s always dreamed of. Meanwhile, Owen is discovering that Alice’s chaos might be the best thing that’s happened to him in years.

There’s just one complication.

What happens when the relationship everyone believes in is the one neither of them expected to become real?

A warm, witty romantic comedy featuring fake dating, grumpy/sunshine vibes, workplace banter, neurodivergent representation, and a hero who falls much harder than he intended.

Now available for preorder!
