Caroline Abbott knows her way around bridezillas.
Working at a stationery store means helping engaged couples pick out the perfect save-the-date cards and invitations for their dream weddings—a dream job.
Until the bridezilla of the day belongs to her first kiss, Alexander Wilder. He’s all grown up now, running his family’s luxury hotel chain, and even hotter than she remembers from that scorcher of a smooch.

Dating, Book 2
From New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy comes a standalone contemporary romance about a relationship that starts out fake, but soon starts to feel way too real...
Sarah Harrison is used to strange customers.
Working at a lingerie store, she helps bored housewives, spicy sorority girls, repentant husbands -- and everyone in between. Yet no one sparks her interest more than Jared Gaines, the ultra-rich, ultra-sexy businessman who frequents her shop, buying delicate little "gifts" for the women in his life.
But one day, Jared sends her a gift from Bliss. Then another--and another. It doesn't matter how thoughtful he is, or how well-chosen the gifts are, or how sexy he is. It's inappropriate, and Sarah is determined to put a stop to it. Or at the very least, she wants to know why.
It's the oldest one in the book, of course. He needs a fake girlfriend for the weekend while attending his brother's engagement party. It's a terrible idea. She's certain it could even get her fired. So she absolutely takes him up on it.
Next thing Sarah knows, she's in San Francisco, pretending to be in love with Jared. Not that it's a hardship.
Except that the real feelings in their pretend relationship soon have her in over her head. Is he just faking it, or do they have their own shot at bliss?

Dating, Book 3
From New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy comes a standalone holiday romance with a grumpy, holiday hating Christmas tree farmer and a woman who embraces the holiday season with her whole heart...
Candice Gaines loves Christmas. Not only does she bask in the twinkling lights, sing Christmas carols and go crazy with the decorations, she's also in the giving spirit, donating much of her time and wealth to various charities in the local area.
Charlie Sullivan despises Christmas. Though it keeps his family afloat, considering they own Sullivan Family Christmas Tree Farm, the main provider for Christmas trees on the Monterey peninsula. He'd much rather work among the trees versus have to deal with people.
But Charlie's parents are taking on more philanthropic projects--and as their oldest child, they want him to be their official public representative. He just has to play nice and convince everyone he's not a total holiday hater.
When Charlie's mom asks Candice to accompany him to a variety of holiday parties and events, she reluctantly agrees. She thinks Charlie is a big ol' Grinch, but is determined to change his mindset and help him spread Christmas cheer. Charlie finds Candice is too chatty, too sweet, too much. Do people like her really exist?
Why yes, yes they do. The more time they spend together--along with a few kisses under the mistletoe--the more they start to like each other. Hopefully Charlie can convince Candice he doesn't have a heart that's two sizes too small before the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

Dating, Book 4
Stella Ricci isn't normally the kind of girl who does one-night stands--especially with her best friend's brother.
It's a secret she plans to take to the grave.
She's certain Carter feels the same, since they haven't talked about it once in the past year. Not that they've ever been much on talking. The two can hardly stand each other on a good day.
If there is a single worse idea than sleeping with her off-limits enemy, it's inviting him to move in with her.
What can she say? She's bored. Her barista job is her passion, but it seems to be all she has in her life these days. Even fighting with Carter would be preferable to another night alone. Besides, he needs a place to crash after burning out on the Los Angeles grind.
Neither of them expected the chemistry to come roaring back.
Should they admit that one night wasn't enough? Or will secretly dating each other turn into the epic fail Stella feared?
Only one way to find out…

Eleanor Murray is tired.
Tired of going on awkward dates. Tired of meeting men who just aren't that into her. Tired of being set up on blind dates by her well-meaning friends.
She is a believer of true love, of finding that happily ever after, and she wants it. She deserves it. But at the rate she's going, she's pretty sure it's never going to happen.
Until a friend creates a profile for Eleanor on a new dating app. At first, she's reluctant. Dating apps aren't the way to finding true love, are they? But then she makes a connection on Rate a Date, and this gorgeous, confident guy almost seems too good to be true...
Mitch Anderson has a secret.
He's just moved to Las Vegas for his high profile job and after years of playing the field, he's looking for a serious relationship. He wants to find a woman who likes him for who he is, not what he does. Meeting Eleanor on the dating app, he's intrigued. Meeting her in real life while she's in town for a bachelorette weekend, he completely falls for her. Now he's in way over his head.
Their chemistry is combustible. They can't keep their hands off each other. But will Eleanor forgive him when she finds out who he really is?

Dating, Book 6
Kelsey Phillips is over the dating scene.
All that time and energy perfecting your profile and taking just the right picture and articulating exactly what you're looking for, only to get the same sleazy propositions? No thanks. She's doing just fine on her own, so there's no point in a fruitless hunt for "the one" that doesn't exist.
Besides, she already has the perfect man in her life. Theo is the type of friend who's always there for a laugh, a hug, or a drink-- and no propositions.
So when he somehow manages to agree to be a groomsman in his ex-fiance's wedding to his cousin, the least Kelsey can do is be his date.
But why stop at doing the least?
Pretending to be in a relationship is easy. They already know everything about each other. And it sure isn't hard to fake attraction to a guy as gorgeous as Theo. Soon enough, the only pretense left is that they haven't fallen for each other for real... and the very small matter of the secret Kelsey's been keeping. Can a fake relationship survive this real revelation?
