The Spy and I
Right place. Wrong person. After a case of mistaken identity, one woman must work with her sister’s sexy spy partner to save the world in this heart-pounding romantic comedy.
The first thing to know about Dove Barkley is that, even though she works as a cyber security analyst, she is one hundred percent not an undercover CIA operative. But when a group of bad guys mistake her for her super-spy sister (news to her!), Dove gets roped into a dangerous government mission that she’d very much rather be left out of, thank you.
Too bad Mendez, the man who claims to be her sister’s partner, says she’s in too deep to back out now. He’s smart, capable, and has a body almost distracting enough to make Dove forget about the team of trained assassins after her.
Dove has information that can help prevent a national tragedy, but there’s mounting evidence that Mendez might not be who he claims. More importantly, she’s running out of time to save her sister. Because the last thing Dove wants is for either of them to go out with a bang.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: THE SPY AND I is an action-packed romcom about a case of mistaken identity, when the heroine is confused for her super spy sister and must work with a hot and mysterious covert operative to save the day.

Mr. Nice Spy
When a pyrotechnic engineer discovers her biological father is an international criminal, she must work with a sexy CIA agent to take him down in this thrilling adventure rom-com.
Andee Paxton knows she’s good at her job as a fireworks designer. What she doesn’t know is that her biological father is Holt, a dangerous arms dealer who has escaped prison. And now he’s searching for his long-lost daughter-dearest.
After the CIA surprises her with this news, they drop another bombshell: they want to use Andee as bait to capture Holt once and for all. But before the CIA can even attempt to spring their trap, she’s kidnapped along with the very hot Officer Adam Chan—all because they were too busy flirting to worry about silly things like “safety protocol.”
A fake relationship—for their protection, of course—and just a few explosions bring Andee and Chan closer, but there’s more than their growing connection at stake. If Holt’s plan succeeds, the world will be brought to its knees. Andee and Chan must rely on each other to stop him…or else everything (including their feelings for each other) might just blow up in their faces.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: When a pyrotechnic engineer discovers her biological father is an international criminal, she must work with a sexy CIA agent to take him down in this thrilling adventure rom-com.

Meant to B&B
To help keep her mom’s struggling bed and breakfast afloat, Jules rents the place out for the entire summer to a nameless mystery group. All Jules knows is they have an intense desire for privacy: no cellphones, no internet, and no leaving the B&B—which means this summer will be no fun. Sketchy as that is, they’ll pay up front, which is exactly what Jules needs.
When the renters arrive, Jules is stunned to find herself in the presence of Vital Sign, the most popular boy band in … pretty much ever. So, that’s a plus. Especially because the lead singer Cade is willing to help Jules out—a few pictures of Jules kissing Cade, and her jealous ex should come crawling back. Plus, it has the added benefit of giving Cade a story to feed to the ever-hungry tabloids later on.
But unbeknownst to Jules, the band is hiding out for a dangerous reason. While Jules wonders whether her fake relationship might be real, she also must decide if it’s worth the risk. Because the situation is escalating, and her life—not to mention her heart—is at stake.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: To keep her mom’s struggling B&B afloat, Jules agrees to fake date a celebrity guest for the summer. But is she ready for all the baggage?
