I ran into my childhood crush after twelve years… and of course, he’s now my next-door neighbor.
I have zero plans to fall for Ian Kendrick. Not after my recent breakup. Not with all the embarrassing memories I’m sure he still has of me from when we were kids. And definitely not while we’re living a few feet apart because if it doesn’t work out, things will get super awkward.
But Ian had to go and grow up into the kind of guy who builds things with his hands, dotes on his sweet grandma, and flashes that smile like it doesn’t make my knees weak. (It totally does.)
So I do what any rational, emotionally vulnerable woman would do: I make a list. A very detailed, very practical list of how to not fall for the guy next door.
Because falling for him? That would be a disaster… right?
If you love laugh-out-loud moments, loads of chemistry, and feel-good happily ever afters, you’ll love How to Not Fall for the Guy Next Door.

I know exactly what I want in life—and it’s not a guy like Roman Powell.
He’s rigid. Rule-following. Uptight. Basically allergic to fun. So, not my type.
But when he’s on the cover of Business Success magazine as one of the nation’s Top 10 Young (and Single) CEOs, my two million subscribers want me to film a peek into his world. I can survive an interview with Mr. Serious for the sake of great content. Easy.
Except… nothing about the interview goes according to plan.
We’re talking about an angry deer, an exploding pickleball, a blanket fort that does not survive the night, and a dinner ambushed by my exes. Oh, and let’s not forget the growing pile of memes from viewers who are suddenly obsessed with us as an “opposites attract” love story.
But this isn’t a romcom. It’s real life. And in real life, I’m not going to fall for the wrong guy.
Right?
If you’re into witty banter, chaos, and heaps of chemistry with a big heart, you’ll love How to Not Fall for the Wrong Guy.
I have seven days and fifteen dates with different people to find my perfect guy—and to not fall for my best friend again.
Max Peyton is everything I want in a future husband: fun, kind, and just the right mix of responsible and adventurous. Plus, he’s my best friend. He feels like comfort and acceptance and home, all wrapped into one.
But I absolutely cannot fall for him.
A year ago, when I almost (accidentally!) kissed him, he said he loved me like a sister. A sister. So, friend zone it is. Besides, Max doesn’t want to get married to anyone. Ever. And I very much do.
Instead, I come up with a plan to find my perfect man. Max and I both need dates for a wedding, and I talk him into a competition to see which of us can go on the most dates, each with a different person, all within one week.
It’s a brilliant plan, I’m sure of it. Seven days and we’ll both have perfect wedding dates and be on our way to happily ever afters. My plan is practically foolproof.
Unless, of course, the only person I want to choose at the end… is him.
If you love best-friends-to-lovers, laugh-out-loud moments, and all the swoony feelings, you’ll love How to Not Fall for Your Best Friend.
Twelve years ago, he broke my heart. Now I’m falling for him all over again—one anonymous message at a time.
I don’t see a point in dating. Relationships are messy and they never end well. Plus, there’s the part where I seem to pick guys who are only pretty on the outside.
So when a friend asks me to beta test a new blind dating app—the kind where you can’t see photos—I say yes, figuring I’ll spend a week chatting with strangers and confirming that dating is still the worst.
Except… I really like one of the guys I’m messaging. He’s smart, funny, surprisingly sweet, the absolute best at flirty banter, and is my opposite in the best way. His name’s Jackson, and against all odds, I’m catching actual feelings.
There’s just one problem.
When we finally meet in person, I realize that Jackson is Jack Oliver—my Jack. My high school boyfriend. The one who went from perfect to pretentious faster than you can say “family money.” The one who ripped my heart out.
Now I don’t know if the guy I’ve been falling for is real… or just another version of the Jack who hurt me.
All I know is I’m not falling for my ex.
(Probably.)
If you’re a fan of witty text banter, second chances, and loads of chemistry and heart, you’ll love How to Not Fall for Your Ex.
