OVERVIEW: She’s always seen love as an obstacle to what she wants. How long can she deny that it’s exactly what she needs?

Amaya Simmons is climbing the corporate ladder one determined step at a time. Career goals? Crushing it. Finding love? Hard pass.

When Amaya earns a huge promotion, she’s elated. When she’s assigned a temporary consultant to help with data analytics, she’s annoyed. When she discovers who that consultant is, she’s horrified.

Not only is Miguel Alvarez her best friend’s brother-in-law, he’s also the only man who has ever tempted her to give love a shot—before she shut off her heart and doubled down on never.

As they collaborate at work, Amaya finds herself wishing Miguel’s presence wasn’t temporary. But that feeling is precisely the distraction she’s convinced will hinder her career.

Can the encouragement of her faith and her friends drown out the voices of doubt? Or will Amaya push love away permanently?

Love and Other Distractions is a contemporary best friend’s brother-in-law, workplace romance. Readers who appreciate sweet romances, relatable characters with depth and growth, and light faith themes will love this story. You’ll find plenty of swoon with no spice in this closed-door, kisses-only romance.

This is the third book in the interconnected Love and Other. . . series, following Love and Other Goals and Love and Other Chances. While written as a standalone, reading the books in order will provide the best reader experience.

Content Considerations: Toxic absent parent, past drug use and promiscuity, mentions of miscarriage and opioid overdose.

OVERVIEW: “It feels like Brooks is uniquely designed to make or break my heart.”

Teegan Jones is the epitome of an extrovert—so why is she suddenly avoiding people?

For the past three years, she’s thrived in her full-time ministry position as a mentor to college students, but now burnout is looming. Teegan takes her long-distance best friends’ advice: find local peers who can fill her cup. The last thing she expects is for one of those peers to be the man she spent years intentionally forgetting.

Brooks Murphy shredded Teegan’s soul in high school. But it’s evident he’s not the same guy he was eight years ago. ThisBrooks is all the things she once loved about him, paired with the growth and maturity brought about by his own faith journey.

He’s here. He’s changed. And he’s oh-so-appealing.

But is a second chance at love worth the risk of repeat heartbreak?

Love and Other Chances is a contemporary second chance romance. Readers who appreciate sweet romances, relatable characters with depth and growth, and light faith themes will love this story. You’ll find plenty of swoon with no spice in this closed-door, kisses-only romance.

This is the second book in the interconnected Love and Other. . . series, following Love and Other Goals. While written as a standalone, reading the books in order will provide the best reader experience.

OVERVIEW: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail…right??

Lana Grant’s goal is too important to risk failing, so she’s formulated an iron-clad plan to get to where she wants to be—changing the world as an immigration lawyer, just like her mother.

She’s spent all of high school and college ticking off boxes toward her future, aided by the support of her family, sorority friends, and campus ministry group. She hopes her recent summer internship will be the final factor that makes her law school application stand out in the stack.

Now, all Lana needs is for her long-time crush to finally confess his love and her dream future can become a reality.

Lana thinks she has the dominoes all lined up—that is, until the captain of the soccer team, Mateo Alvarez, asks her to coffee and throws a very unexpected wrench into her plans.

With senior year responsibilities and law school deadlines looming, Lana balances her relationships with her best friends and new boyfriend while still pursuing that all-encompassing life goal. But what happens when unforeseen circumstances turn things upside down and her well-planned future threatens to unravel? How will Lana choose which goals to fight for?

Content Warnings: Brief mention of opioid addiction, miscarriage, and child loss in side characters. Contains references to the ramifications of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Romance spice level is sweet, swoony kisses only.
