The Love Wager (Mr. Wrong Number, #2)
Lynn Painter
Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult.
She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs into the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she’d snuck out of.
Through the app, and after the joint agreement that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie become partners in their respective searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.
Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together.
Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off.
As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they each struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.

Colin Beck has always considered Olivia his best friend’s annoying little sister, but when she moves in with them after one of her worst runs of luck, he realizes she’s turned into an altogether different and sexier distraction. He’s sure he can keep his distance, until the moment he discovers she’s the irresistible Miss Misdial he’s been sort of sexting for weeks—and now he has to decide whether to turn the heat up or ghost her before things get messy.

Accidentally Amy
Lynn Painter
IT STARTED WITH A CUP…
Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person.
But when she’s running late for her first day at a dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” 3x with no answer, she does the unthinkable.
Izzy takes that PSL.
It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only waaaay further ahead in the line, so she mutters “I’m Amy” and grabs the cup.
But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising until he says the words, “See you tomorrow, Amy.”
Uh, oh – she’ll definitely have to straighten him out the following day.
Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips - the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might’ve been charming to “Amy,” but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who dos not find her explanation funny at all.

Elizabeth Buxbaum sempre soube que seu vizinho não seria um bom namorado. Apesar de todos acharem Wesley Bennett simpático e muito bonito, Liz tinha certeza de que, na verdade, ele era um chato de galochas.
Mas Michael Young era diferente. O amor de infância de Liz estava à altura dos protagonistas das comédias românticas que ela tanto gostava, só que havia se mudado para longe quando os dois ainda eram crianças. Dez anos depois, ele estava de volta, mais lindo e charmoso do que nunca.
Esbarrar com o garoto na escola foi como um sinal do universo. O último ano do ensino médio clamava por acontecimentos grandiosos, um baile inesquecível e momentos apaixonantes. Por isso, como uma boa romântica incurável, Liz estava determinada a fazer qualquer coisa para conquistar o verdadeiro amor. Até mesmo pedir ajuda ao vizinho irritante.
O plano era infalível: fazer com que Michael notasse sua existência e a convidasse para o tão sonhado baile de formatura. Mas à medida que Wes e Liz se aproximam, ela vai questionar tudo o que sabe sobre o amor e descobrir que talvez seu “felizes para sempre” seja surpreendente ― e melhor do que ela poderia imaginar.

When seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark, she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers. Bailey met Charlie a year ago on the long flight to Omaha, where she moved after her parents’ divorce. Charlie’s cynicism didn’t mix well with Bailey’s carefully well-behaved temperament, and his endless commentary was the irritating cherry on top of an already emotionally fraught trip. Now, Bailey and Charlie are still polar opposites, but instead of everything about him rubbing Bailey the wrong way, she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkers—particularly two who keep flirting with each other. Bailey and Charlie make a bet on whether or not the cozy pair will actually get together. Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex can’t just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong. Bailey and Charlie keep close track of the romantic progress of others while Charlie works to deflect the growing feelings he’s developed for Bailey. Terrified to lose her if his crush becomes known, what doesn’t help his agenda is Bailey and Charlie “fake dating” in order to disrupt the annoying pleasantries between Bailey’s mom and her mom’s new boyfriend. Soon, what Charlie was hoping to avoid becomes a reality as Bailey starts to see him as not only a friend she can rely on in the midst of family drama—but someone who makes her hands shake and heart race. But Charlie has a secret—a secret that involves Bailey and another bet Charlie may have made. Can the two make a real go of things…or has Charlie’s secret doomed them before they could start?

Ліз Баксбаум завжди знала, що Вес Беннет — жахливий сусід. У нього наче шило в одному місці ще з дитинства: то підкладе жабу в її «Будиночок мрії Барбі», то відітне голову садовому гномові й залишить у саморобній дівчачій бібліотеці. Минуло вже десять років після обезголовлення гнома і, здавалося б, усе мало змінитись… Але тепер у сусідів нова жорстока війна: за паркувальне місце на їхній вулиці.
Це останній рік шкільного навчання для Ліз — час, сповнений важливих подій, які вартують великого екрана. Адже дівчина просто поглинута фантазіями про те, що її життя складеться так, як у романтичних стрічках. Зненацька виявляється, що їй потрібна Весова допомога. Річ у тім, що Ліз дуже давно закохана в Майкла — хлопця її мрії, який щойно повернувся до міста і, хоч як це прикро, заприятелював із Весом. Якщо Ліз хоче, щоб Майкл нарешті звернув на неї увагу, то нестерпний сусід Вес — її шанс.
Але потрібне диво, щоб дівчині вдалося вмовити Веса піти на дивакувату угоду, метою якої стане влаштування для Ліз чарівного, майже кіношного романтичного моменту, в якому вона буде разом із Майклом на їхньому випускному… А може, Вес насправді вже не той огидний капосник, а дорослий і надійний хлопець, з яким можна мати справу?

Diez años después, Liz está en su último año de instituto, una época que debería estar llena de hitos perfectos dignos de la gran pantalla, y necesita la ayuda de Wes. Michael, el chico por el que lleva colada toda la vida, acaba de mudarse de nuevo a la ciudad, y desgraciadamente está haciendo muy buenas migas con Wes. Lo que significa que, si Liz quiere que Michael se dé cuenta de que ella existe, y con suerte ser su cita en el baile de fin de curso, necesita la ayuda de su vecino.
Pero mientras Liz y Wes planifican el momento mágico del baile de fin de curso, ella se sorprende al descubrir que, en realidad, le gusta estar con él. Y mientras continúan acercándose, ella deberá reexaminar todo lo que pensaba que sabía sobre el amor, y replantearse sus propias ideas de cómo debería ser un «felices para siempre».
