“Absolutely charming... a flawless balance of humor, heat, sweetness, and depth, and I loved every page.” – Helen Hoang USA TODAY BESTSELLER A witty, hilarious diverse romantic comedy about a woman who's tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang! Chloe Brown is a chronically ill, plus-size computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she's come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she's already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family's mansion. The next items? Enjoy a drunken night out. Ride a motorcycle. Go camping. Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex. Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage. And... do something bad. But it's not easy being bad, even when you've written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

He's also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit. But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe's wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior...

'A stunning mix of hilarious tropes, swoony romance and lovable, relatable characters. A must read for every romance lover!' Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis Gavin We've been teammates for two years, but it feels like Oliver Bergman's been on my last nerve for a lifetime.

Oliver Life was great until soccer legend Gavin Hayes joined the team. He's a giant - albeit gorgeous - grump who lives to rain on my parade. I've sworn off pranks so, rather than settle our differences the Bergman way, I've been killing Gavin with kindness... Just one problem: it's killing me as well. Coach has given us an ultimatum: put an end to our enmity or say goodbye to being captains. I'm prepared to make nice, but the last thing I expect is to discover an explosive attraction we can't ignore... An enemies-to-lovers, age gap sports romance about an upbeat rising soccer star with anxiety and his curmudgeonly veteran teammate who lives with chronic pain.
