Book 1

Dressler

Some connections are destined to light up your life.

Welcome to the charming small town of Cheney, WA, where Pollianna "Polli" Grey, a professor who radiates positivity but often neglects her own needs, encounters Henry Jones, her striking, "Viking-esque" teaching assistant. Their competitive clashes at Triple T Trivia nights quickly ignite an undeniable spark.

Henry is drawn to Polli's vibrant spirit, while Polli finds herself intrigued by Henry's quiet strength. Henry, burdened by a past that subtly shadows him, finds Polli's presence a much-needed light, while Polli, through Henry's attentive understanding, learns to prioritize her own well-being. Surrounded by a hilarious and fiercely loyal found family of friends, they navigate life, love, and self-discovery.

A heartwarming and spicy story of unexpected bonds, the strength found in vulnerability, and the joyous, messy journey of finding your person.

Baldy's

She's a glitter tornado. He's the brawny guy next door. And they're both completely in denial.

Briar is extra, outspoken, and unapologetically herself, complete with a rotation of sixty pairs of colorful glasses and a love for all things festive. Jamie is strong, warm, craft-obsessed, and fiercely protective. Living right next door to each other in the EWU dorms, they're the ultimate best-friend duo. There's just one tiny problem: they're both desperately in love with each other.

Fearing that confessing will blow up the best friendship either of them has ever had, Briar and Jamie try their hardest to stay in the friend zone. But between snowfalls on campus, cozy craft nights, holiday event planning, and a close-knit group of friends constantly stirring the pot, keeping their distance is getting impossible.

A warm, spicy, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy about embracing who you are, finding your person, and realizing that sometimes the best thing in your life is right on the other side of the wall.
