So That Happened

Conor Brady is the hottest man I have ever laid eyes on. Ever. He's also my new roommate. In the past few days, I became jobless, homeless, and boyfriendless. So, I did what any 28-year-old woman with her life together would do: I ran. Far, far away from my life in New York and straight to my big brother's house in Atlanta. Only, it turns out that my brother is away on a business trip. And, he failed to tell me that a full-on, godlike hottie-who happens to be a premier house flipper-has taken up residence in the spare bedroom while his enormous new house is being renovated. There's a million reasons why I shouldn't fall for Conor. But our chemistry is undeniable. Which means I have a teeny, tiny situation on my hands... The Roommate Situation is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect some mild language and suggestive jokes alongside sizzling hot chemistry and tension you could cut with a knife-all without the explicit scenes.

A Romantic Comedy

The Roommate Situation

The Neighbor War

I fell in love with Carter James Callahan's smart-mouthed smirk long before it was labeled "The Sexiest Smile In Hollywood". I also fell for his broad, muscular shoulders, his impossibly blue eyes, his... Nope! Not going there anymore. Because while Carter may frequent my dreams every night, I will only ever frequent his friend zone. Which is why I'm on an official mission to rid myself of my pesky feelings for him-I'm gonna put myself out there, start dating, and stop hopelessly crushing on my best friend. Deep down, I know this is for the best. It would never work between us: I'm a single mom with an impressive collection of stained sweatpants, he's a serial-dating celeb heartthrob who never wants to be tied down to anything or anyone. So when the media breaks a story that Carter is getting married, nobody is more shocked than I am. Especially when I click on the article and see that his mysterious fiancée is... me?! I Think He Knows is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect mild language, innuendo and suggestive jokes coupled with tons of chemistry and tension, but no explicit scenes.

Season’s Schemings

The Quit List

There’s only one thing Olivia Griswold hates more than Christmas: her brother’s best friend, Aaron Marino.

The NHL’s favorite playboy has hordes of adoring fans, but to her, he’s still the cocky jerk she’s loathed since high school.

But when Aaron hears Olivia’s spending the holidays with her roommates from hell, he offers her a place to escape to.

His place, to be exact.

In return, all she has to do is be his date to his hockey team’s Christmas gala. It seems simple enough, but Olivia soon discovers that sleeping behind enemy lines is a dangerous game—especially when the enemy looks like that.

And they do say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer…

Holiday Hostilities 

I spent the night with a hot, grumpy stranger in an airport hotel. No, not like that. Get your mind out of the gutter. It was just sleeping. And... maybe a little cuddling. Long story short, I embarrassed the heck out of myself. But at least I never have to see him again. Except the universe is clearly out to get me, because Monday morning, I arrive at my new job and who's the first person I see? Hot stranger himself: Liam Donovan. AKA my new boss. AKA Annie, you are so freaking screwed. While the HR rulebook doesn't explicitly say you can't share a bed with your boss, I can read between the lines. And I need this job. Which is why I have to pretend that night never happened. Luckily for me, sexy as Liam-excuse me, Mr. Donovan-is, he's surly, rude and totally not my type. Or so I keep telling myself. Because I'm starting to think there's a warm, gooey cinnamon roll with extra frosting lurking beneath that impressive, muscular form. I promised I'd never choose between my career and love. But when a scandal threatens to break, that promise could prove impossible to keep... So That Happened is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect some mild language and suggestive jokes coupled with tons of chemistry and tension, but no explicit scenes.

Leah Brunner

He's trying to outrun his past...

Penn Matthews is living beyond his wildest dreams. He's made it to the NHL, shares a swanky loft with his teammates, and best of all, he's able to support his little sister. Life is good, and his rocky past is finally behind him.

Until Hazel Palmer shows up at his door.

His downstairs neighbor is as feisty as she is gorgeous, and the type of woman he'd be very interested in--if he hadn't sworn off falling in love years ago. But when Penn finds out Hazel just got her heart broken by his longtime rival, he steps in to help.

...She wants revenge on her cheating ex

Hazel should be writing her dissertation, but it's difficult to focus while dealing with betrayal, a breakup, and the constant distractions from her rowdy upstairs neighbor.

At first, she's convinced the tattooed hockey player in 3B is just another idiot playboy, but when Penn comes to her defense one night, the feuding neighbors realize they share a common enemy--and decide to get payback.

The plan is simple: fake date to make her ex jealous, and get the jerk out of both their lives for good.

But when fake kisses turn into real connection and Penn's past threatens to catch up to him, what started out as sweet revenge soon escalates to risking everything...
