What started out as a mutual arrangement, veers widely off course when disastrous events unfold in Lottie's life.

Running away from the guy I really loved was supposed to help me start afresh, but the consequences were life-changing, almost deadly.

Florence Smith is desperately and hopelessly looking for her happily ever after, at whatever cost.

The Soul Sisters code for Lottie, Dolly, Neely and Flo has real meaning, they’re true friends who connect and understand each other, like true sisters. They're there for each other no matter what.

But what happens when that connection stops and you choose to close yourself off and willingly walk away?

Life happens. Ugly, dream-shattering life.

Sonny and Flo were the last singles standing and she dreamed he’d sweep her off her feet and romance her like the classic love stories she adored. Instead, his obvious disdain left her devastated, especially when he didn’t bother to hide.

Her hometown held too many reminders of the life she’d never have, so Flo jumped at the 'opportunity of a lifetime' and made a break for freedom.
Only, freedom was the last thing she got, and now she has to find her way back.

Excerpt

“You still smell the same, you know. I hate you most days, but I can’t forget how fucking amazing you smelled.” I brush back her hair with my fingertips, and I can’t miss the small tremor that runs through her body. I affect her. This is good, and I plan to use this to my advantage. “Or how good you looked underneath me.” Her chestnut hair still shines like I remember, and I can easily visualize how it looks twisted around my fingers. How her cheeks heated up to a nice pink after I made her come... and don't get me started on her legs looking like sex in these heels and how good they would look wrapped around my neck. Fuck. I'm kidding myself if I say she doesn't affect me and doesn't make my dick hard at the sight of her. Snap out of it Jaxson. Now isn't the time. "Tell me I actually meant nothing to you, and I'll go away."

Dear Letter Girl, I need to see you. When can we meet?

Her response never came. My secret pen pal with a dirty mind has ghosted me. I've roped Jules, my sweet as pie next door neighbor, to help me track her down.

There's only one problem—I'm falling for her. The tortoise shell glasses, out of this world curves and delicious treats are making the search for The Letter Girl even harder.

My notes were supposed to be a one time thing. A little too much wine and naughty thoughts on a winter's night. I never thought Berk would write back. I wanted to tell him it was me, but the fear of rejection kept my lips sealed.

Now he’s enlisted my help to track down The Letter Girl and our search has him hot on my, ahem, her trail.

She's the girl next door.

He's my secret pen pal.

Truth is on a collision course with their hearts and it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets wrecked...

Excerpt

A giddy laugh bubbled up from deep down. I snuck a glance at myself in the mirror again. I was a lumpy diva, but, fuck it, I was a badass, too. And I was slowly skidding closer to the ground as the sweat that gathered behind my knee loosened my grip.
Every move I nailed got me a little closer to appreciating how far I’d come. From the first days of slipping off trying to do a basic spin with my feet planted firmly on the floor, to being a diva. This was my freaking body and I loved the shit out of it.
And if I kept telling myself that, maybe one day I’d believe it.
I lowered myself onto my bedroom floor with a flourish, throwing in one more spin for my imaginary audience.
The song ended and I braced my hands on my hips, panting and sweating like I’d run a 5k, with a grin so damn wide I felt it in my toes. Jumping up and down, I gave myself a high five and a few club-worthy woos. It made it harder to figure out if I was doing the tricks one hundred percent correctly, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to record myself to watch later or head to a pole dancing studio with full-wall mirrors. I wasn’t at that level of okay with me in all my glory—yet.
I flopped onto my bed and stared up at the ceiling. My hip-hugging short shorts and sports bra gave me little coverage, but pole dancing wasn’t exactly about modesty. I’d given it a try at the urging of my therapist during freshman year and hell if it hadn’t helped—some. It was a way for me to build strength, body confidence, and maybe attempt to feel a little sexy.
The door slammed downstairs and I shot up from the bed.
“Jules!” Berk’s unmistakable call sent me from pole dancing heart racing to ‘floor it, Louise,’ careening toward a cliff. I shot up and fell off my bed, rattling the perfume bottles on my dresser. Scrambling off the floor, I grabbed my sweatpants and tugged them on, hopping from foot to foot and sounding like I’d taken up bowling in my bedroom. I snagged my glasses off my desk and shoved them onto my face.
Berk was probably wondering how I’d trapped a wild animal up in my room. I grabbed my long sleeved T-shirt and hoodie off the back of my chair even though it was August. The fabric clung to my sweaty skin and I probably had a sweat-stashe going on, but that was better than him walking up here and finding me half naked. A panic spiral shot through me and I got dressed even quicker and threw open my door.
My feet barely touched any of the steps as I flew downstairs.
“Berk.” I fell into the kitchen, bracing my arm against the doorway. The butterflies in my stomach were replaced by a whole freaking safari. I tightened my lips to what I hoped was a non-serial killer level of smile. My heart was glowing like a spotlight, so I wrapped my arms tighter around myself. Tingles tiptoed up and down my spine at the sight of his floppy hair and jeans that hugged his ass and trim waist better than mine ever fit me.
His head shot up and the half of the cookie sticking out of his mouth broke off and dropped onto the counter. “There you are.” His words were muffled behind two manhole cover-sized cookies.
“Did you think I was hiding in my cookie box?”
“Is that what you’re calling it these days?” Killer smile and a direct hit. “The old cookie box.”

Excerpt
There’s a loud knock on the conference room door that startles both Jamie and me. She jumps up and opens the door, just as Eddie pops his head inside. “Sorry to interrupt, ladies,” he starts. “We have the conference room reserved for a client meeting in five minutes.” I glance at my watch and see that it’s almost nine o’clock. Jamie and I have been in here for almost an hour. “Shit,” I mumble, grabbing my empty coffee cup. “I have to get to work.” “Me too,” says Jamie, following me from the conference room back toward our desks. I stop abruptly, causing Jamie to run into my backside when I see Drew standing in my cube, staring out my window over a cloudy, rainy Manhattan. His hands are shoved into his pockets and his dress shirt is rolled up to his forearms. Tan, muscular arms stick out from under that crisp dress shirt. Even casual, he looks like the powerhouse CEO that he is. My heart rate kicks up a notch at the sight of him. As Jamie nudges me forward, I clear my throat as I do my best to look unaffected by his presence. “Mr. McPherson,” I acknowledge him, but don’t look at him. I slide into my desk chair and enter the password to my computer, bringing the screen back to life. “Good morning,” he says from behind me and I still keep my eyes trained on my computer. “And good morning, Jamie,” he says, acknowledging her. I glance up at Jamie and see her smile at him knowingly. Dammit, Jamie. “Morning, Mr. McPherson. Busy weekend getting to know New York City?” she asks him with the kind of innocence only a skilled liar could pull off. I’m going to fucking kill her. I narrow my eyes at her and she winks at me. I spin around in my chair to look at Drew, whose eyes jump back and forth between us, and I can see he’s picked up that I’ve filled her in. I hang my head in shame and shake my head. “It was a wonderful weekend,” he tells her honestly. “Do anything exciting?” she asks, her tone snarky and her questions intruding. “Or anyone?” she says under her breath and I choke. “Are you okay?” Drew asks me. “Fine,” I cough out, tossing a glare at Jamie, who giggles and slides into her desk chair. I pick up a pen off my desk and throw it at her. It hits her back. She bursts into laughter and Drew shakes his head in amusement at us. He leans over my shoulder and whispers into my ear, “I missed you last night.” His warm breath causes me to shiver and catch my breath. “I didn’t like waking up and you not being there,” he continues, knowing the effect he has on me. I shift in my chair and sit up straight, trying to drown out the throbbing that has started between my legs. I spin slowly toward him and stop, his face mere inches from mine. “I slept remarkably well,” I tell him. He smiles. “Liar.” “I’m not lying,” I whisper. “You are.” He brushes a knuckle over my top lip and my skin breaks out in goosebumps. “When you lie, your upper lip twitches.” Jesus Christ, this man has me all figured out. I hold his gaze and my heart stammers in my chest. Looking at him, I can’t help but feel that I’ve missed him too. “I’d like to meet with you later to go over a few things,” he says, standing up. “How does eleven thirty in my office sound?” “Sounds fine,” I muster out. “See you then, Gracie.” Drew saunters out of my cube and down the hallway. I can’t help it as my eyes follow him as he walks through the rows of cubes until he reaches his office. I notice Jamie watching him too before she spins around in her chair and faces me. “Holy fuck,” she hisses. “That man has it bad for you.” I look back at Drew’s office and watch the door close before I look at Jamie again. “I know.” And sadly, I have it just as bad for him.

Drew and Gracie

Gracie is a hardworking, independent woman. She never does the one night stand. That is until the night she does.

Drew is a successful Advertisement agency owner. He is in New York for one day to buy a company. Until the one night stand with Gracie. the next morning there are no strings, right? I highly recommend this book if you enjoy insta love and some seriously hot and steamy scenes. You will also enjoy the side characters. A wonderful read.

"You're my bacon."
