Book-by-Book Guide:
Pretend You're Mine centers on Luke Garrison, a hometown hero and National Guard member, who enlists the help of a fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back before deployment. Harper arrives as a confident, compassionate woman who agrees to play the role, but their chemistry quickly blurs the line between performance and real feeling. The dynamic is built on witty banter, guarded pasts, and the tenderness that grows when two people choose honesty over pretense. Score deftly balances heat with emotional depth, delivering a romance that feels both contemporary and timeless, set against a small-town backdrop that invites readers to root for a second chance at love.
Finally Mine follows Gloria, just freed from a decade of danger, who begins to rediscover herself with humor and resilience. Enter Aldo Moretta, a larger-than-life hero who seduces her with charm and steady intentions—though he must leave for six months. The pair navigate anticipation, distance, and a deepening trust that proves love can thrive after trauma. The story leans into self-discovery, confidence-building, and the courage to let someone in again. Score’s warmth and wit make the pages feel intimate and hopeful, with a small-town texture that deepens every moment.
Protecting What’s Mine puts Fire Chief Lincoln Reed at the center of a romance with flight trauma surgeon Mackenzie O’Neil. Lincoln’s bravado and tenderness meet Mackenzie’s fierce independence and professional focus, creating an arresting contrast that fuels the chemistry. After a burnout-driven detour, Mackenzie learns to slow down—through meditation, gardening, and a patient, protective partner who’s not afraid to show vulnerability. The story explores resilience, healing, and the exhilaration of falling for someone who challenges you to trust again, all while honoring the tight-knit community that makes small-town life feel intimate and real.
