A LOL Romantic comedy series set in the small, fictional town of Friendship, Texas.
The first three books in the series, together in one set:
Edge of Glory
Jay Morningstar was an Olympic swimming legend.
I had a poster of him wearing nothing more than his gold medals and a pair of man panties on my bedroom wall.
Needless to say when Jay walked into my parents’ restaurant in the tiny town of Friendship, Texas, I made an idiot of myself.
But somehow he likes me. Me, Lia Conti, the weird girl with strict Italian parents.
Now if only I could get used to the fact that whatever I have with this superstar is real--no matter what the tabloids and other people seem to tell me.
Rumor Has It
Eddie Justice is the epitome of sexy with his dimpled smile and crooning country lyrics, but to me he’s just the boy next door.
Now that we’re both back in Friendship, Texas in less than desirable circumstances, maybe it’s finally time I tell him how I feel.
Of course fate has a way of f*cking things up.
The last thing either of us expected were the ups and downs of falling in love with your best friend.
Meet Virginia
Everything in life has always come easily to me.
Except Virginia, the art student studying abroad in Sicily where I’m helping at my cousin's restaurant.
Now that I’ve met her, I can’t get her out of my head.
She’s too good for me and we both know it.
And even though it feels like it could be the worst thing for both of us, I can't help but want every part of her.
Now if only we both knew how bad we were for eachother.
