Bestselling author Olivia Dade welcomes you to Harlot's Bay in this
delightfully sexy rom-com about a woman who buys the town's famous
Spite House, only to realize the infuriating man she can't stand
lives right next door--and their unwilling proximity might spark
something neither can ignore. When Athena Greydon's fiancé ends
their engagement, she has no choice but to move into the Spite
House she recklessly bought him as a wedding gift. Which is a
problem, for several reasons: The house, originally built as a
brick middle finger to the neighbors, is only ten feet wide. Her
ex's home is literally attached to hers. And Dr. Matthew Vine the
Freaking Third--AKA the uptight, judgy jerk who convinced his
younger brother to leave her--is living on her other side, only a
four-foot alley away. If she has to see Matthew every time she
looks out her windows, she might as well have some fun with the
situation. By, say, playing erotic audiobooks at top volume with
those windows open. A woman living in a Spite House is basically
obligated to get petty payback however she can, right?
Unfortunately, loathing Matthew proves more difficult than
anticipated. He helps her move. He listens. And he's kind of...hot?
Dammit. Matthew may not regret ending his brother's engagement, but
he does regret what the breakup has done to Athena. He'll help her
however he can. If that means finding her work, fine. If that means
enduring nightly Steamy Story Hours, so be it. And if that means
watching Athena through their windows a bit too often and caring
about her a bit too much...well, nothing can come of it. She'll
never forgive him. Even if she did, how could he ever tell his
beloved younger brother the truth--that Matthew wants the very same
woman he encouraged Johnny to leave?
After All the Feels and Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade once again
delivers a warm and wonderful romantic comedy about two co-stars
who once had an incredible one-night stand—and after years of
filming on the same remote island, are finally ready to yield to
temptation again… Maria’s one-night-stand—the thick-thighed,
sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or a note—just
reappeared. Apparently, Peter’s her surly Gods of the Gates
co-star, and they’re about to spend the next six years filming on
a desolate Irish island together. She still wants him…but he now
wants nothing to do with her. Peter knows this role could finally
transform him from a forgettable character actor into a leading
man. He also knows a failed relationship with Maria could poison
the set, and he won’t sabotage his career for a woman who’s
already walked away from him once. Given time, maybe they can be
cooperative colleagues or friends—possibly even best
friends—but not lovers again. No matter how much he aches for
her. For years, they don’t touch off-camera. But on their last
night of filming, their mutual restraint finally shatters, and all
their pent-up desire explodes into renewed passion. Too bad they
still don’t have a future together, since Peter’s going back to
Hollywood, while Maria’s returning to her native Sweden. She
thinks she needs more than he can give her, but he’s determined
to change her mind, and he’s spent the last six years waiting.
Watching. Wanting. His shipwrecked Swede doesn’t stand a chance.
When a mistaken obituary reunites two old crushes, sparks fly and a
second chance at love ignites. But will the one that got away finally
stay?
Karl and Molly were never together. There was a time, right after high
school, where it seemed like they might finally cross the line from
friends to lovers . . . but instead, a foolish misunderstanding meant
they never spoke again. Molly went to LA and got married. Karl stayed
in Harlot's Bay and bought a bakery.
The only connection the pair has shared over the years is painfully
one-sided: Now divorced, Molly narrates monster romance audiobooks, and
Karl is an ever-diligent listener, clinging to his only piece of the
one that got away.
Still, Molly hasn't totally left Harlot's Bay behind. When she hears
that Karl's obituary has run in the local paper, unexpected grief
prompts her to hop on the next flight to Maryland . . . where she finds
Karl very much alive, the victim of nothing but an accidental obituary.
As the pair reunite, they finally hash out their missed connection.
True, Molly isn't quite ready to trust again, but Karl is determined to
prove himself worthy of her faith and devotion. And as her remaining
time in Harlot's Bay ticks down, Molly, the habitual cynic, just might
find that Karl, the cranky town curmudgeon, is impossible to leave
behind a second time.
Olivia Dade bursts onto the scene in this delightfully fun romantic
comedy set in the world of fanfiction, in which a devoted fan goes
on an unexpected date with her celebrity crush, who's secretly
posting fanfiction of his own. Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret.
While the world knows him as Aeneas, the star of the biggest show
on TV, Gods of the Gates, he's known to fanfiction readers as
Book!AeneasWouldNever, an anonymous and popular poster. Marcus is
able to get out his own frustrations with his character through his
stories, especially the ones that feature the internet's favorite
couple to ship, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone ever found out
about his online persona, he'd be fired. Immediately. April
Whittier has secrets of her own. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she's
hidden her fanfiction and cosplay hobby from her "real life" for
years-but not anymore. When she decides to post her latest Lavinia
creation on Twitter, her photo goes viral. Trolls and supporters
alike are commenting on her plus-size take, but when Marcus, one
half of her OTP, sees her pic and asks her out on a date to spite
her critics, she realizes life is really stranger than fanfiction.
Even though their first date is a disaster, Marcus quickly realizes
that he wants much more from April than a one-time publicity stunt.
And when he discovers she's actually Unapologetic Lavinia Stan, his
closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to hide from
her. With love and Marcus's career on the line, can the two of them
stop hiding once and for all, or will a match made in fandom end up
prematurely cancelled?
When Athena Greydon's fiancé ends their engagement a month before
the wedding, she has no choice but to pack up her few possessions
and move into the Spite House she recklessly bought him as a
wedding gift. Which is a real problem, for several key reasons: The
house is only ten feet wide. Her ex's home is literally attached to
hers. And Dr. Matthew Vine the Freaking Third - AKA the uptight,
judgy jerk who convinced his younger brother to leave her - is
living on her other side, only a four-foot alley away. If she has
to see Matthew every time she looks out her windows, surely it's
only fair that she have a little fun with the situation. By, say,
playing audiobooks about Sasquatch threesomes at top volume with
those windows open. A woman living in a Spite House is basically
obligated to get petty payback however she can, right? Despite
Athena's best efforts, though, loathing Matthew proves more
difficult than anticipated. He helps her move. He listens. He
thinks Freddy Krueger is a national chain of grocery stores. And
he's kind of...hot? Dammit. Matthew may not regret breaking up
Johnny and Athena's engagement, but he does regret what the Vine
brothers' carelessness has done to her. Any honourable man in his
position would try to help her however he can. If that means
finding her work, fine. If that means enduring nightly Cryptid
Erotica Story Hours, so be it. And if that means watching Athena
through their windows a bit too often and caring about her a bit
too much...well, nothing can come of it. She'll never forgive him.
Even if she did, how would he ever tell his beloved younger brother
that he wants the very same woman he pushed Johnny to leave?

Times bestselling author of Dumplin' Olivia Dade returns with
another utterly charming romantic comedy about a devil-may-care
actor - who cares more than anyone knows - and the no-nonsense
woman hired to keep him in line. Alexander Woodroe has it all.
Charm. Wealth. A starring role on the biggest show on TV. But the
showrunners have wrecked his character, he's hounded by old demons
and his future remains uncertain. When all that reckless emotion
explodes into a bar fight, the tabloids and public agree: his star
is falling. Enter Lauren, the former therapist hired to keep him in
line. Compared to her previous work, watching over a handsome but
impulsive actor shouldn't be especially difficult. But the more
time she spends with Alex, the harder it is to hold on to her
professionalism, and her heart . . . When another scandal lands him
in major hot water, and costs Lauren her job, Alex becomes
determined to keep his impossibly stubborn and extremely endearing
minder in his life any way he can. On a road trip up the California
coast together, he intends to show her exactly what a falling star
will do to catch the woman he loves . . . Praise for Olivia Dade 'I
