Bring an author to work day just got spicy.

River

I moved to Santa Maria for peace and quiet.

Not for a saucy little bookworm determined to ruin both.

But Jasmine Knudsen is the most infuriatingly stubborn woman I've ever met.

Everywhere I go, she's there, refusing to take no for an answer.

She might be winning because I've never wanted anything the way I want her.

But she isn't interested in being caught…until I don't leave her a choice.

Now, we aren't playing her game. We're playing mine.

And when a future with her is on the line?

There's nothing I won't do to win.

Jasmine

I read smut, and I know things. It's what I do.

What I don't do is back down.

So when local romance author River "I'm Too Good for Your Book Club" Jamison refuses to come speak, I declare war.

He thought I was kidding when I swore to annoy him until he agreed.

I wasn't.

I thought he was joking when he threatened to have me arrested.

Turns out, the big grump wasn't kidding, either.

Now, he's refusing to drop the charges unless I go out with him.

And I must be losing it because I'm not saying no.

But I did not expect to become the main suspect when his latest manuscript goes missing.

Which means I might end up right back in jail.

Only this time, it's not just my freedom at stake.

It's my heart, too.

Good girls need spicy books. At least, that's the philosophy at this small-town bookstore. But the group of bookish friends who call the store home never planned for the feral men willing to fall at their feet...or for the lengths they'd go to secure their own happily-ever-afters.

Now, they're up to their elbows, in over their heads, and the only experience they have with navigating love comes from the books they read.

What could possibly go wrong?

Book of Love is a small-town rom-com series set in Wine Country that's high on heat and laughter, and low on drama.
