PIPER:
NFL superstar Felix Barlowe was never supposed to be the one.He’s my brother-in-law’s brother and my nemesis--until one unforgettable night changed everything. I thought it would get him out of my system, not leave me with a secret.
I’m hiding out in a secluded cabin, pregnant and panicking, when Felix shows up with a two-year-old and no idea how everything is about to change. So I do something reckless and offer to help as his temporary nanny.
It seems like an easy way to buy myself time. But watching him bake sourdough at dawn and read bedtime stories on repeat, not to mention those late-night kisses, I start to fall for him in a way I never saw coming.
Felix Barlowe thinks he’s not built for forever. I think he might be perfect for me.
FELIX:
Piper Hart has hated me from day one. She’s all spark and sass and completely immune to my charm. But now she’s helping with a little girl I never expected to raise, and I can’t seem to get the night she spent in my arms out of my mind.I’ve failed at love three times--definitely not relationship material. But Piper makes me want to believe again.
And when I discover her secret, I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I’m not a man who leaves. I’m the one who stays.
Someone To Stay is Book 5 in The Skylark Series. A small-town standalone with a guaranteed HEA. If you like grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers romance with forced proximity, found family, and all the slow-burn heat, this one's for you.
I absolutely adore Piper and Felix together!!! They were like oil and water until that one night that changed their lives forever … only he doesn’t know anything about it yet! This book is filled with so much emotional upheaval, but also so much heart and affection. Fans of the series will recognize Piper as Sadie’s little sister and she’s fighting her attraction to Sadie’s brother-in-law Felix. A drunken one night stand has led to a secret pregnancy that she’s scared to tell him about, and before she can get up the guts to do so, he shows up at Ian’s cabin where she is staying with a toddler in tow. What’s a girl to do but grab that adorableness up and hold on tight? Great characters, top notch drama and so much warmth and love!
I love this group of friends so hard. I’m starting to get nervous about the non-answers from Sloane. It’s going to break my heart if things don’t go her way. Can’t wait to finally get into Avah’s story next. Such an amazing group of friends! I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a tight knit group of girlfriends who rally around in good times and bad as each finds their forever love.
