He’s all muscle and mischief.
She’s sugar, sass, and everything he never knew he needed.


Life in the Vale Street high-rise takes a wild turn for fitness trainer Ronald Mooney when a jealous ex’s boyfriend mistakes his easygoing charm for something more—leaving him bruised, battered, and half-conscious at his neighbor’s door. Enter Inez Reyes, the quick-witted, plus-sized bakery owner whose first-aid skills are as sharp as her sarcasm.

Between shared desserts, late-night cookie runs, and Ronald’s relentless teasing, an unlikely friendship begins to rise—one filled with laughter, chemistry, and the kind of tenderness that sneaks up when you least expect it. But as insecurities bubble up and jealous tempers threaten their fragile connection, Ronald must prove his heart is in this for real, not just for fun.

Struck by Playful Tease is a steamy, heartwarming neighbors-to-lovers romance sprinkled with flirty banter, body-positive love, and the perfect mix of heat and humor—ideal for readers who crave charming heroes, confident heroines, and happily ever afters that taste as sweet as they feel.
