The Fix-Up (Two Harts)

The Fix-Up (Two Harts)

Sharon M. Peterson

Ellie should probably have listened to the part where inheriting her house came with a hot, grumpy stranger and six months to figure it all out…Ellie Sterns is a twenty-eight-year-old single mother who only ever seems to date seriously questionable men. But she’s just inherited both a home and thriving cafĆ©, so life is looking up. The catch? Only half belongs to Ellie—the other half goes to the previous owner’s grandson. Gilbert Dalton may be absurdly handsome, but his frown never wavers and he has a chip on his shoulder the size of a small country.Ellie would happily spend the rest of her life avoiding him, but to claim their inheritance, they must first live on the property together for six months. For Ellie, the house and the cafĆ© are her future. For Gil, they’re part of a past he wants nothing to do with. She wants to stay, he is determined to sell. Will they be able to decide what comes next without going to war with Ellie’s whisk and Gil’s toolbelt as weapons?But somewhere between the snarky notes they leave around the place, and discovering a heartbreaking secret about the house’s previous owner, Ellie and Gil might learn that frustration can turn into sizzling chemistry, and hate can turn into not-hate—and that’s basically only one step away from love…A totally uplifting, heart-stealing and addictive enemies-to-lovers romance full of sweet chemistry and true laugh-out-loud moments. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry and Sarah Adams.Readers love Sharon M. ā€œOMG!!!!

    The Fast Lane

    The Fast Lane

    Sharon M. Peterson

    A totally hilarious friends-to-lovers, brother’s best friend romantic comedy He’s the only person who can give me a ride to my brother’s wedding, and he’s also the one man I absolutely CANNOT have feelings for. My brother’s best friend is strictly off limits… Isn’t he?I should have known my mom would go totally overboard packing for my brother’s big day. But much like my last break-up, I’d been optimistic (in denial) that it would all work out for me. Now, I can’t fit into the car. ā€œDon’t worry,ā€ my brother says, ā€œI asked Theo to give you a ride.ā€I flush all over and almost drop my phone. This is a BIG problem.With his neatly trimmed stubble, fierce protectiveness and an affinity for plaid shirts rivalled only by his love of hiking, I’ve always had a crush on Theo. As a teenager, I’d even declared my feelings in a tragically bad poem. The rejection almost ended our friendship, and I’ll be taking that crippling embarrassment to my grave.He’s the last person I want to be alone with on a six-day road trip; especially since I swore off men after my last relationship went up in flames. It would be a terrible idea anyway; he only sees me as his best friend’s little sister.But as we fight over the playlist and are forced to share a night together when his car dies, it’s not distance that makes my heart grow fonder, it’s close proximity. Two thousand miles of flirting has my heart racing in the fast lane. Is it all in my head, or does Theo feel the same?Will this be our second chance to go the distance, or will everything blow up in my face in the middle of my brother’s wedding?An utterly hilarious and totally addictive road trip romantic comedy with sizzling but sweet chemistry and no third-act break-up. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sarah Adams and Olivia Dade.What readers are saying about Sharon M. ā€œINCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… HEART-WARMING… VERY, VERY SWOON-WORTHY!!!!!! Finished it in a couple of sittings. I usually like to make good books last, but I really couldn’t put this one down. Plot twisty? Funny? It’s all here.ā€ Isabella, Journey to Pibe Creek ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ā€œFANTASTIC!… A page-turner… incredible… Like a big hug… My favourite tropes are sprinkled through this book like grumpy/sunshine, one bed trope, celebrity/nobody, and fake engagement… Keeps you HOOKED!ā€ Goodreads reviewer ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ā€œTopped the list of all the fake relationship stories… Hilarious… Laugh out loud… I stayed up at night to binge read this story… I am so happy I did that… I was hooked from the first line… Equal parts fun and emotional with tear-jerking moments.ā€ @bookbyteswithkavita ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ā€œDefinitely got this girl’s heart a swoonin’… Adorable!… Perfection… Filled with all my favorite grumpy

    The Fake Out

    The Fake Out

    Sharon M. Peterson

    I can’t lock up the library until the guy asleep at his desk leaves. Thank the universe for audiobooks because I could be here all night. But I see his mouth twitch at the exact moment a steamy kiss takes place. My face burns when I realize my headphones aren’t plugged in and my phone is at full volume. It's not every day you see a new face in my small hometown of Two Harts, let alone one belonging to an annoyingly handsome all-star NFL player. But for some reason Chris Sterns has decided that the library where I work is his go-to spot to hide from his mega-fans, and unfortunately, winding me up is his new favorite sport. Being crowned ā€œworld’s sexiest manā€ has done little to curb his confident charm and when he somehow ropes me into his two-person book club, I can’t help warming to his endless positivity. But when a photo of him stumbling out of a Las Vegas club with a woman in tow is leaked to the press, I can’t help but question whether his good boy persona is just an act. And that’s far from the only answer I’m left searching for when Chris pops the question I’ve only ever heard in my favorite romance books. Did he really just ask me to marry him? It’s not the proposal I was expecting, but with my mom’s medical bills piling up faster than I can pay them, and with the scandal threatening to ruin everything Chris has worked for; could an engagement be the perfect fake out for us both? Or is this a game we’ll both lose? A totally uplifting and addictive friends-to-lovers romance full of laugh-out-loud moments. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sarah Adams and Olivia Dade.
