I prefer ugly 🫣

“I can handle messy emotions.” I hold her gaze, letting her see her past doesn’t scare me. “I prefer ugly that’s real to pretty things packed up in a bow to hide what’s underneath.” — Josh Collins, The Heat of the Moment Dear Reader, The Heat of the Moment, my highest-rated-ever book, is on sale at all bookshops for only 99¢. Lily is a widow, a single mom, and she’s not interested in the easy smile of the firefighter next door—the one who runs into burning buildings for a living, just like her late husband did. She’s built her walls carefully. She knows what it costs to love someone in that job. Josh knows too. And he’s not pushing. He just keeps showing up with his toolbox, terrible jokes, and infinite patience. He collects moments with her like treasure: the stories she drops like breadcrumbs, the flinches, the heat he catches in her eyes sometimes. Readers are calling this book the kind of story that stays with you — a slow burn about learning to want a future when you’re still struggling to live in the present. For a limited time only, The Heat of the Moment is 99¢. If you want a romance that will make you laugh out loud and ugly cry at the same time, this is the book for you.

Even when being rejected, he’s all easy charm. “It’s not you, it’s your job.” An enemies to lovers, single dad, cowboy romance Faye came to Blue Crescent Harbor to disappear — teach first grade, keep her secrets, start over.
