When long hours and crushing stress push Bellamy Alexander to his breaking point, he walks away from his consulting job and drives until he runs out of gas. Fortune deposits him in front of Antonio’s, a place with decent pizza and an opening for a delivery boy. Even better, he finds an apartment right across the street from his new job. And best of all, Chris McGregor, the property manager who runs the custom furniture shop below Bell’s new digs, is super hot―and super into Bell. It seems too good to be true―and maybe it is. Things aren’t exactly going smoothly. Bell avoids telling his mother the truth about his new job because he doesn’t want to hear how he should go back to the corporate world. On the other hand, he doesn’t think he wants to deliver pizza forever either. He’d like to think about settling down, but Chris runs hot and cold. Between Bell’s uncertainty and the hang-ups Chris refuses to talk about, they have their work cut out for them. Fortune may have caused their paths to dovetail, but it will take more than wood glue to hold them together. Ashlyn Kane is a Canadian former expat and current hockey fan. She is a writer, editor, handyperson, dog mom, and friend-sometimes all at once. On any given day she can usually be found walking her ninety-pound baby chocolate lapdog, Indy, or holed up in her office avoiding housework. She has a deep and abiding love of romance novel tropes, a habit of dropping too many f-bombs, and-fortunately-a very forgiving family. Claudia Mayrant has been exploring the world around her since she was old enough to get around under her own power. Her early travels took her on her bicycle "all the way to but not on the main road." Happily, since then, she's enjoyed visiting as many places as she can, from bustling marketplaces and enchanting castles to funky dives. She can't possibly decide which she likes best, though she maintains that each new adventure requires the appropriate footwear. But for all her love of travel, she's most relaxed back in the South on a Gulf Coast beach with good friends, refreshing beverages, and plenty of sunscreen. CJ Burke's first book was the self-published A Fancy Witch, illustrated in crayon with particular attention to the witch's footwear. While CJ is now long past first grade, she's still hunting that perfect pair of equestrian boots, and she's never given up the habit of plotting romances in her head during staff meetings.
