Surviving a run in with her ex-fiancé’s older brother who happened to be her first love? 10 out of 10 would not recommend. When Frankie Costas packed a bag and flew 3000 miles to her Yaya's house in Hope Falls after a devastating betrayal, she never expected to come face-to-face with her first crush/love Dr. Liam Davies—who she hadn’t seen in over a decade. After narrowly avoiding a not-so-meet-cute in the ER, she was determined to keep her distance from the brooding, sexy, totally off-limits, sibling of her ex. Unfortunately, in Hope Falls, distance wasn’t really an option. Proximity combined with undeniable chemistry, magnetic attraction, unresolved feelings, and one meddling Yaya meant she was in real trouble. Haunted by demons—and tired of constantly being set up by his four sisters—Liam Davies was ready to make some big changes in his life. Working 60–80 hours a week as attending physician in the ER was not conducive to a private life. A fresh start in Hope Falls was just what the doctor, in this case himself, ordered, or so he thought. That was until a feisty copper-haired, amber-eyed, yoga pant wearing blast-from-his-past crashed back into his life through his carefully constructed walls like the Kool-Aid man, unraveling secrets and stirring up deeply buried feelings. Demons weren’t the only things that had haunted Liam for the past decade…they were joined by a sexy redheaded angel whose smile made men forget words exist. Author’s GRAVITY OF LOVE is a jilted fiancée, opposites attract, friends-to-lovers, hot doctor, forbidden/off-limits relationship, tattooed wounded hero, small town, spicy, feisty FMC, rom-com complete with meddling/matchmaking friends and family, adorable rescue puppy, 1 feisty Yaya, 4 matchmaking sisters, and an entire town of quirky/loveable locals guaranteed to make you feel the Hope Falls Effect™. less

And by morning…she was gone. He didn’t get attached. He definitely didn’t get obsessed. Until her. Billionaire single dad, Deacon St. Claire liked control, routine, and zero emotional risk. Jenna Thomas? She was chaos in the form of soft smiles, stubborn independence, and he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Her warmth, her fire, the way she saw through him made him want something real for the first time in his life. Jenna Thomas didn’t do chaos. The single mom did schedules, responsibility, and absolutely not falling for dangerously charming, ridiculously attractive strangers in dimly lit bars. That night? A one-time lapse in judgment. No names. No expectations. No strings. Until the universe decided it would be hilarious to drop her no-strings night smack dab in the middle of her small-town life. Now she knew his name and the fact that eighteen months later he happened to still unfairly attractive, completely off-limits, and somehow even harder to ignore when every glance felt like a warning…and every touch felt like a promise. Jenna didn’t do relationships. Deacon didn’t fall. But something about her made him break every rule he’d ever lived by. And she feared this time, walking away wasn’t an option.
