From bestselling author Jennifer Chipman comes a spicy new spinoff of the Best Friends Book Club series, about a boss and assistant who agree to a contractual marriage–all while trying to resist the pull they feel for each other.
It was only supposed to be a contract marriage with my boss…
Zofia Narayan
Being an executive assistant was never a part of my plan–not until Nicolas Larsen practically begged me to be his, insisting I was perfect for the job. Working closely together meant seeing a side of him I’d never seen before, and it was hard to ignore the spark between us. After a year of denying ourselves, we spent one incredible night together, agreeing that nothing would change between us. Except two months later, we’re signing a fake marriage contract. Suddenly, the man who had been my boss for the last year was now my husband. I know I shouldn’t get attached, even though the tender way Nicolas holds me and cares for me doesn’t feel like it’s just for show at all.
Until I’m staring down at two pink lines, and our contract marriage suddenly feels a lot less fake.Nicolas Larsen
Taking over as the CEO for my father’s company was everything I’d ever worked for. Yet, when the board voiced their concerns that I wasn’t settled and stable enough for the role, I proposed what might have been the craziest scheme of all: asking Zofia to be my wife. I needed her more than I could ever admit: as my assistant, my friend, and my everything. It would all be for show, but I couldn’t help wanting her to wear my ring, to call her mine, even if she never truly would be. I’d take whatever I could get when it came to her, because I wanted more than just one night with Zofia. I wanted forever. I just needed to prove to her that this could work—that we were meant to be together for real.

Noires play to conquer, and this is the devil’s game.
A spinning wheel. A one-shot chamber.
Red or black, high or low, odd or even.
Hit or live.
One shield. One sword. One stone.
Flip the coin, or never say die.Axel

Two decades designing couture for the elite, and building a billion-dollar fashion brand, should feel like success. Instead, I have an empty mansion, a fresh divorce settlement, and the sinking feeling that I traded everything meaningful for a life that looks better on social media than it does in the mirror.
When my practically estranged best friend passes away, she leaves me with the one thing my ex-husband never gave me a chance to have—a baby. Well, a soon-to-be baby, currently residing in a surrogate’s belly. Surprise!
Guilt-ridden, and scared to face this alone, cue my desperate funeral plus-one hire: Saylor, an escort with bedroom eyes and a smile that makes me forget I’m supposedly “past my expiration date.” He’s over a decade younger and shouldn’t give me a second glance after the check clears.
Only he does.
And while I’m spiraling over surprise motherhood and the thoughts of launching a new fashion empire, away from the clutches of my ex, this way-too-young-for-me man has the audacity to look at me like I’m the only woman in the world.
“Too old” is what society whispers about women my age starting over. Too old for babies. Too old for new beginnings. Definitely too old for Saylor’s salacious advances that make me feel like a teenager in lust.
But what if the happily ever after isn’t lost, just fashionably late? And what if the unattainable escort couldn’t care less about earning his money, because he’s making a play for my heart?

I’m the coach’s daughter. Falling for one of my father's players was never the plan.
Especially not Decker Davis.
Chicago Colts third baseman.
Dependable. Steady. The guy everyone trusts.
And the man who’s spent years keeping his distance—especially from me.
We have history. The kind that ten years and a thousand miles can’t touch.
So, this time, I promised myself I'd be smarter.
No getting attached. No blurred lines. And definitely, no falling.
He broke every last one within the first week.
Because Decker doesn’t just show up for me. He shows up for my daughter.
Because he fits into our lives like he was always meant to be there.
Because he looks at me like I was never something he wanted to lose.
And suddenly, the walls I've spent years building don't feel nearly as solid as they used to.
But if I let him in, I’m not just risking my heart—I’m risking hers too… and I already know what losing him costs.
I won’t let my daughter pay that price.

When I inherit the dilapidated Loveland Ranch on my birthday, I do what any self-respecting LA career woman would do—have one unforgettable night with a hot, broody cowboy and skedaddle before sunrise.
But when I hear that a crabby neighbor is suing my beloved grandmother’s estate, I decide her legacy is worth the dirt under my manicure and start renovating.
Cue the hot, broody cowboy, who rides up on a horse and informs me he’s the crab. And just when I think things can’t get worse, the universe hands me another surprise.
A little pink plus sign.
Fitz and I have nothing in common except being fiercely independent. We come from different worlds. We have different visions for the future. We don’t share the same dreams, backgrounds, or even the same zip code.
But it doesn’t take long before I find myself wishing for all the things I’d given up on—a real partnership with a protective, kind, hot-as-sin man who reassures me I’m not fighting my battles alone. Except he’s fighting his own battles, and they may be too big for us to overcome.
Will this accidental family we created lead to heartbreak? Or could it be the life I’ve always wanted?

But her quiet summer by the lake goes up in literal flames when a spa-day candle mishap sets her mother's designer curtains on fire.

The more time they spend together, the more their conversations start to get real, and Rachel finds herself falling for Wyatt. She thinks he might even feel the same way.
The only problem? Wyatt is all about roots and permanence, while Rachel is the very definition of flighty. But this summer, she just might be tempted to stay ...

Flynn Morley has spent his life getting by with as little as possible. No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a “muse” for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would.
Then he meets June.
June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life.
As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she’s carrying secrets of her own.
When June’s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he’s always sworn he’d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can’t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home.
