It all started with a list.

Ten resolutions for a new year, new me.
Or at least the me I thought I should be.

It was going all fine and dandy until I got snowed in with my friend’s brother.
𝙃𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧. What happens in the cabin, stays in the cabin. Right?

𝑾𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈.

When Austin Hale shows up on my doorstep, offering to help me with my list, I decide that I’d be crazy to say no. He’s new in town, and I’d rather not go on my journey of self-discovery alone.

We can do this as friends. Besides, he’s too old for me, and the two of us have enough baggage to fill an airplane.

𝙏𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙣.
In my mind, the rules are clear. But my heart has plans of its own.

Wren Porter fills her days with paint chips, tile samples, and uppity clients who wouldn’t know a sconce from a scone. When she clocks out of her nine-to-five as an interior designer, she swaps her sensible pumps for the red leather boots of the Rhode Island Red Cocks cheerleaders.

The east coast is the last place wide receiver Tatum Bryant wants to live, but trades happen in professional football. What’s the one upside of moving to a state the size of a postage stamp? The alluring designer who is renovating his new house.

What begins as instant chemistry turns into clandestine interludes as their worlds collide. With careers that keep them in constant motion, will Tatum and Wren hold on to the magic between them? Or will change pull them apart…

Tatum and Wren’s swoony New England story is a steamy, low-angst standalone romance with a guaranteed happily ever after!

Get ready for a forbidden workplace sports romance fueled by a viral video, a tackle that changes the game, and a coat closet scene that will leave you breathless!
