For too long, Lydia Bell has been caught in the bittersweet grip of unrequited love for her best friend. When fate throws her into the path of Scott Henderson, a fellow soul nursing the sting of rejection, unexpected sparks fly like flaming arrows. A fling seems like the perfect salve for their shattered hearts, and desperate to move on, they agree it’s worth a try.
But as it turns out, they are both terrible at flings. And what happens when they start falling (not into a fiery mountain, thankfully) for each other?
Follow Lydia and Scott on their mostly epic quest for love. Filled with witty banter, heartwarming friendship, and all the geeky moments you could ask for, One Fling to Rule Them All is the perfect journey for the armchair adventurer in all of us. No actual life-risking required.
This book was originally published in 2015 with different cover art under the name Deanna Dee and despite the title is, in fact, a no-steam romance.
Born a New Englander, M.T. DeSantis moved south in early adulthood, realized she actually liked winter, and promptly moved back north. She’s currently trying out life as a Michigander/anian with her family, who also (mostly) actually like winter. When not making word magic, M.T. can be found practicing yoga, attempting to make friends with the oven, or trying to read while people keep talking to her.

I've had a soft spot for Lydia since "meeting" her in book #1, and I'm happy to see her get her HEA. It was great to reconnect with this group of friends, and I enjoyed their banter and nerdiness as much as I did in the first book. Looking forward to the next one! :)
