ALYSSA'S CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE BOOKSHELF

Emily Kessler knows what she’s doing—she’s spent the last decade figuring it out.

What she didn’t plan for was the itch that comes with turning thirty or realizing that staying busy is the same as being alone.

So when she overhears the cute, younger guy on her bus ride struggling with a dating app, she decides it’s time to make a match.

But Daniel isn’t emotionally available, he’s trying to piece together the life his ex blew up. No big deal, right? She’s put romance on hold this long, so what’s a little longer? And if anyone can help him, it’s Emily. 

So she suggests they keep it casual.

No strings. No expectations.

Until casual stops feeling so casual . . .

Daniel Marston doesn’t know who he is without his ex.

At twenty-two, he’s fresh out of a long-term relationship that gutted his confidence and left his future in question.

His friends think he needs a bit of fun, but he doesn’t know how to do casual, especially when Emily’s helping him heal inside and outside the bedroom.

So when his ex comes crawling back, he’s forced to choose between the comfort of the past and a woman who was never supposed to be his future.
