It Must Be Love

I found the perfect man for my sister. What happens when I want to keep him for myself? Impersonating my older sister Stella on a dating app is supposed to help her find happiness and true love.Instead, she refuses to go on the date I set up for her with Joel, aka The Perfect Man. After months of weeding through all the weirdos online, this is the thanks I get? When I show up to tell Joel how I unintentionally catfished him, he immediately thinks I'm my sister. Before I know it, I'm on a date as Stella. One night of pretending to be my sister won't do any harm…right?Except one date turns into two. I thought Joel was everything my sister would want in a man. Turns out, he's actually everything I need. It's a twisted situation: I like him, but he thinks he likes her. Joel's been lied to before. When he finds out I did the same, he'll never want to see me again. But he's the only thing that makes sense right now, when everything else in my life feels out of my control. What's a girl to do?It's Not Like It's Forever is perfect for readers who love a well-earned happy-ever-after and enjoy weightier topics mixed in with their spice-free romance.

I lost my best friend over a man. I won't fall into the same trap a second time. When I find out my best friend has been secretly dating the man I've been crushing on for months, I somehow lose her friendship and our whole friend group in one fatal swoop. To say that the situation devastates me is an understatement. Still reeling from their duplicity, I find comfort from an unlikely source: Drew Yarrow. I haven't seen Drew since I left for college, fifteen years ago. When he dances back into my life, quite literally as he sings karaoke, he saves me from my social exile. He's grown into a kind, teasing, chivalrous man. It isn't long before I feel more for him than friendship, no matter that he's six years younger than me. But I've learned my lesson. Unrequited crushes only bring destruction. I'm not about to lose him because of my messy feelings. Friendship is what we have and how it will always remain. Except when I fall in love with his small hometown and decide to uproot my comfortable life to live next door to him, how do I resist his charm? How do I remain content with friendship when what my heart wants is forever?It's Not Like It's Meant to Be is a sweet small town, age-gap romance perfect for readers who love slow-burn tension with all the swoon but no action beyond kissing.
