BLURB

I don’t do privileged pretty boys.

Especially ones who waltz into my flower shop flashing Hallmark smiles like they own the place.

Chase Malone is everything I should run from—smooth, confident, too damn sure he can play me like his favorite melody.

But then fate, a runaway goat, and tracks of eighties rock on repeat push us into a rhythm neither of us asked for. And somewhere between the laughter and silence, I hear the truth in the spaces he tries to hide.

I thought we were in tune.

Instead, after months of his beautiful symphony, I uncovered his perfect illusion—Chase Malone, the greatest lie I ever let myself fall for.

Now I’m caught in his song, with his desperate attempts to be that perfect Hallmark hero and win me back. But I just don’t know if this love story ends in harmony… or heartbreak.

Chasing Lyric is an angsty, opposites-attract romance where big cities collide with even bigger secrets. It’s got banter, betrayal, a runaway goat that steals the spotlight, and a playlist of eighties rock that turns every page into a heartbeat. Fierce independence meets Hallmark-hero charm in a battle of love, lies, and second chances. And when the final note fades, you’ll believe in happily ever afters all over again.

Being a single dad was never part of the playbook, but one look at my son and everything changed.

Now football and fatherhood are my whole world—a world that gets turned upside down when my nanny quits two weeks before training camp.

Sloane Peterson runs interference by stepping in to help.

She's sweet, dependable, and the one woman I shouldn't want. Not when our lives are so entwined.

But every time she smiles at my son—or me—it gets harder to remember that our little arrangement is only temporary.

Sloane

Taking a short-term nanny gig for Nashville Rampage’s most eligible DILF has disaster written all over it.

But when Daddy Sin is in a bind, I do just that. It keeps me from waiting tables, and his son is the cutest little boy on the planet.

Baker Sinclair is famous, has a body like a Greek god, and when he’s in daddy mode… he’s irresistible. He’s also currently my new boss, and completely forbidden.

The longer I'm in his home, the less this feels like a job.

Because between reading bedtime stories and baking cookies, I can't imagine my life without them... either of them. Too bad love doesn't follow lesson plans... or playbooks.
