    Summary

    "Don't let them ruin you for the ones who'll love you for you," her mother says, fingers combing through her hair, eyes soft, and dropping her second lesson into her lap like a feather: "Never give up on love."

    or: Allie Hayes really can't be alone.

    Summary

    The Life of Dean looks a little different these days. His family name(s) got him in the door of a high-brow New York firm but not much further—partners expect results, and Dean delivers. He has nearly closed the biggest deal of his career, a multibillion dollar real estate transaction in London with Saudi investors. But now, a leaked video from his college days threatens that reputation with real consequences. To save the deal—and his career—Dean has to prove that he’s not a wild-card playboy.

    Allie Hayes is terrified her best days are behind her. Living with her ailing father and working two service jobs at 26 was never the vision, and she’s questioning her decision to break up with Sean for good eight months ago. He moved back to Vermont to take over the family business and she stayed in New York for the starring role in a TV pilot, which wasn’t picked up.

    Dean isn’t in the position to be making demands, but Allie isn’t in the position to be turning down that kind of money. It’s purely transactional—she’ll agree to an engagement and playing the dutiful fiancé, he’ll sign the check and open doors in the industry she could never dream of.

    Will things get complicated? It isn’t a story if they don’t.

    Summary

    Allie Hayes is done losing herself in other people.

    After five years with Sean, one brutal breakup, and a lifetime of being the girl who loves too hard, Allie is finally choosing herself. Her career. Her body. Her freedom. With her Broadway debut as Ophelia in The Fate of Ophelia approaching, the last thing she needs is another relationship.

    Dean Di Laurentis does not do relationships anyway.

    He does casual. He does control. He does sex without strings, feelings, or expectations. So when Allie and Dean collide two nights before Hannah Wells’ Super Bowl performance, the rules should be simple.

    No feelings.

    No jealousy.

    No falling.

    Except Dean catches feelings after the first night, and Allie is too busy convincing herself he could never want more to notice.

    Then Hunter Davenport enters the picture, Sean starts asking for a second chance, and Allie has to figure out the difference between safety, habit, and the man who makes her feel like she is finally alive.

    Ophelia drowned in someone else’s story.

    Allie Hayes is rewriting the ending.
