BETTING ON PARIS SERIES

Sometimes the best bet is the one you lose... *

Five best friends. Five promises.

Each year in mid-August, the former college roommates meet up on a girls-only trip somewhere in the world. This year, it's Paris, the city of museums, art, and romance. One night during their vacation, the girls engage in a serious talk about the sorry state of their love lives and collectively decide they are swearing off men. Instead, each woman is intent on pursuing her life's goal. Falling in love is the last thing on her mind!

This is Emma's story...*

What started as just a friendly mistletoe kiss turned into the biggest decision of her life.

The boy next door, the hockey star, has never noticed her like that before...

With Emma Gains' big city partnership on the line, the last thing she needs is a small-town holiday romance. But when an urgent call has her flying home and working side by side with her old crush Evan, her brother's tempting-as-all-get-out best friend, will those pesky lingering feelings get stirred up? Or worse?

Emma has blossomed. She is also off-limits.

Retired from the NHL, Evan Heartley finds himself facing a new dangerous game--coping with an unexpected attraction to sweet little Emma. Skating outside the friend zone is risky business. It's also foolish since he's put down roots and bought into the Gains family's veterinary practice, and Emma has no plans to stay.

They should play it safe, but there's one problem--their chemistry is off the charts.**

Author Note: This is a flirty-fun, sweet and sexy, small-town, friends-to-lovers, holiday romantic comedy packed with zany good times, a hotter-than-heck hockey hero, a hairless cat, a nosy best friend, an even nosier mother, and a subcast of cute animals. And of course mistletoe kisses!

Get Emma now.
