Why you will love this book:
🏈sports romance
🏈opposites attract
🏈they meet on a dating app
🏈single mom
🏈football romance

Bestselling author Sara Ney scores with a fiery romance about online dating, where a single mom and a football pro ignite sparks when they swipe right—even though they know it’s all wrong.

Margot’s a busy single mom juggling teaching, parenting, and trying not to die alone. Dating apps? Total nightmare. But desperate times call for desperate swipes, even if they make her break out in stress hives. When she matches with a guy who looks too good to be true, she’s convinced he’s a walking red flag—or worse—a catfish.

Dex is hot, and he knows it. A quarterback with a killer smile and looks to spare, he’s a good guy looking for a long-term relationship. He wants what his friends have: someone to come home to…and if they’re naked when he gets there, even better. When he logs on for a casual scroll, he’s not expecting to meet her. One swipe, and suddenly he’s hooked.

Margot’s convinced he’s a catfish. Dex has zero dad bod and no dad energy. But their sizzling back-and-forth leaves them both thinking “what if.” After a surprise run-in leads to a mind-blowing (and soggy AF) kiss, their opposites-attract energy skyrockets. Can they find a way to make it last?

I’ve longed for my handsome professor all semester. He’s stared at me too.

And up high on this mountain, the college rules seem far, far away.

I didn’t mean to cause any trouble when I signed up for this field trip. There were no ulterior motives, I swear.

I just wanted to get out into the mountains, breathe the fresh air, and see a meteor shower. And, okay, to see my gorgeous professor close up; to hear his deep voice and feel his eyes on me again. That too.

But I never guessed how intense this craving would be. How much I’d pine for him. How badly I’d long for each stolen touch.

And the professor has fought these feelings for months, but his resolve is crumbling too.

So when I crawl into his tent after midnight, we’d better keep quiet… or all hell will break loose.

Wild Skies is a short and steamy instalove story, starring a shy, lovestruck student and her off-limits professor.

Priscilla has a plan. And falling for Oliver was not on her to-do list.

The Job

Event planner Priscilla Cain has been asked to plan her best friend Tina’s dream wedding proposal to her boyfriend, Ryan.

The Catch

It looks like groom-to-be Ryan might just beat her to it.

The Solution

Team up with Ryan’s obnoxious, but gorgeous, best friend Oliver to plan a joint proposal. But keep their unlikely alliance a secret from both their friends.

But as Oliver and Priscilla work together to pull off the proposal of the year, could there be more than one happily ever after on the cards.
