A Small Town Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy Hotel manager Eloise Price is getting a crash course in being careful what you wish for. After years of dreaming about owning the historic Crane Hotel, she was thrilled when her former boss left half of the hotel to her in his will. But dreams have a funny way of turning into nightmares and all that original plumbing has sucked her bank account dry. It doesn’t help that her co-owner hasn’t lifted a finger to help. Would a jury convict her if she strangled him? Graham Thatcher has it all. A thriving tech business, great friends, and a not-so-small obsession with a romantic Victorian drama that he keeps secret from everyone but his anonymous message board friend. The last thing he wanted was half of the decrepit hotel his great uncle left him in his will. After months of increasingly terse emails and zero progress, Graham finally travels to sleepy Crane Cove, Oregon to convince his stubborn co-owner to see things his way. Except Eloise is not at all what he was expecting, and with every passing day, Graham begins to question if what he thought he didn’t want is exactly what he needs. And his elusive internet friend? She might be a little closer than he thinks.

There's a fine line between love and fake....Rockstar Sam Shoop has retreated to his secluded cabin In Crane Cove for some privacy. Unfortunately for him, the residents haven’t gotten the memo and want to set him up with every available person they know. A fake girlfriend sounds like the answer to all of his problems, until he drops the name of a very real person - Lacey Finch, local dance teacher. Lacey Finch is still considered an outsider by Crane Cove’s standards, and the negative attention that comes with being the ex of one of its most infamous residents is growing tired. So when Sam suggests a fake relationship, it just might be the answer to some of her problems. The fact he doesn’t remember her or the night they spent together in Barcelona 10 years prior? Not her problem. A mutual agreement for a common goal - less questions about their personal lives. But when their past keeps creeping up and the chemistry is very much still there, how long will their relationship stay fake?

After the wedding, they’ll go their separate ways and no one will ever know what happened in the lighthouse. Jordy Taylor is a disaster. Over the hill by professional football standards, the veteran quarterback isn’t ready to hang up his pads just yet, but his team might have other plans. With contract talks stalled and desperate to seem a little less desperate, Jordy retreats to quaint Crane Cove to hide from his problems. With his best friend’s wedding only a few weeks away, the decommissioned lighthouse is the perfect place to hide away…until the most off limits woman he knows almost stabs him in the shower. Annie Price’s ten year plan is in shambles. She’d planned on having her PhD, an engagement ring, and a job before she turned thirty. One out of three isn’t bad, right? Desperate to escape the apartment she still shares with her ex-boyfriend and to job hunt with a better view, Annie accepts her cousin’s offer to stay at the lighthouse she owns for a few weeks before her wedding. It’s perfect. A little peace, a little quiet, and a whole lot of naked quarterback in the shower. Too bad she thought he was an intruder and almost killed him. After one steamy night, Jordy and Annie agree to a simple deal: a few weeks of fun, no strings attached. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to imagine saying goodbye. He’s everything she’s ever wanted and she’s everything he thinks he can never have. With their lives headed in opposite directions, can these love birds make it work or are they so flocked?
