Book-by-Book Guide:
Next to You
Lane’s birthday spark ignites a life-changing project: converting a yellow school bus into a home. With a heart full of ambition but a wary view of commitment, Lane teams up with her friend Matt to renovate what becomes more than a project—it becomes a test of trust, vulnerability, and the quiet thrill of unexpected attraction. The banter sparkles, the tension lands gently, and Lane discovers that sometimes the best way to move forward is to let someone in. This friends-to-lovers romance blends humor with tender emotion, delivering a grounded, feel-good experience that lingers long after the bus is parked. A bright entry into the Next Series, it sets a confident, hopeful tone for the quartet.
Next of Kin
Two bickering strangers step into the role of fostering younger siblings, forced to collaborate to create a stable home. As their professional partnership deepens into something warmer, the tension between them threatens to derail their plans—and their hearts. When a surprising development—news of a new baby in the biological family—tests their resolve, they must decide what they’re willing to risk for a future that might include both family and romance. This installment intensifies the emotional stakes while keeping the chemistry authentic and relatable, making it a fulfilling bridge within the collection.
Out on a Limb
Winnifred “Win” McNulty is fiercely independent and determined to prove she can achieve anything on her own. Her disability becomes not a barrier but a lens through which she learns to lean on others—until a Halloween encounter with Bo changes everything.

Readers will relish the blend of warmth, humor, and earnest romance as Win grapples with vulnerability and gratitude.
Out of the Woods
