Stuck with Off-Limits Crushes: A Small Town Sweet Romance Box Set
THREE off-limits crushes. THREE times the swoon. All bundled into ONE unforgettable box set.
Fall for the charm, the banter, and the butterflies in this collection of slow-burn, kisses-only romances set in the dreamy beach town of Makakoa, Maui.
Each story in this interconnected series can be read as a standalone, filled with sweet chemistry, plenty of heart, and aloha ever afters guaranteed.
Book 1: Stuck with My Enemy Protector
We clash as seatmates on a flight to Maui.
Then we share an Airbnb…and the walls are way too thin.
I’m heading home for my bestie’s wedding-slash-reunion
when a rambutan allergy almost knocks me out at LAX.
Cue calm, gorgeous, gentleman doctor.
Saves the day... then disappears like it’s no big deal.
Next thing I know, we’re seatmates.
Bumpy flight. One armrest. All the tension.
I figured that was it.
Turns out, he’s the groom’s best friend.
My last-minute Airbnb roommate.
And my unexpected assistant when the wedding photographer bails.
We clash over everything from lighting to shot lists.
But he talks me through skydiving,
learns the hula just to make me laugh,
and somewhere between a slow dance and a sunset kiss...
I fall. Hard.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The instant attraction between Alexis and Stephen is undeniable ... The beautiful Hawaiian setting adds even more charm to this story. I was hanging on every word in this sweet slow burn.”
Book 2: Stuck with the Grumpy Bad Boy
My best friend’s getting married in Maui.
But wait...her grumpy brother, aka my secret teenage crush,
is going to be there, tempting my heart all over again.
I left our beach town for a fast-paced career in NYC.
Glamorous, ambitious—until burnout hit hard.
So when my best friend’s wedding invite came,
I didn’t hesitate.
What I didn’t expect?
For her brother to pick me up.
Or for us to be sharing a house.
He’s still broody. Still ridiculously handsome.
Back then, he was a flirt with a new girlfriend every week.
Now, he runs his family’s pineapple farm with a quiet strength I never expected.
One cliff jump rescue, one breakfast in bed, and one slow dance...
I wonder—has he been hiding feelings too?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Kai and Lea's story is the best summer read! With a setting in Hawaii, you can't go wrong! That's just the icing on the cake, though, because you get all the good summer vibes from Kai and Lea! ... I was crying, laughing, rejoicing, and just sitting with warm feelings of contentment. It was the best!!”
Book 3: My Fake Fiancé Billionaire Boss
Being a runaway bride is messy enough.
Fake-engaging my billionaire boss—who’s also my brother’s best friend?
That’s either a romcom disaster in the making… or the best mistake I’ll ever make.
I’ve spent my whole life in a small Maui beach town following the rules.
Until I bolt from my own wedding and crash into Chase Montgomery.

Kai and Lea . . .
Mari is getting married in Hawaii! She and Lea are best friends, so Lea is flying to Hawaii from New York where she now lives and works to be there for her best friend. Back in their teenage years, Lea had been attracted to Kai, Mari’s brother, who always seemed to have a new girlfriend on a regular basis. Lea soon finds out Mari has sent Kai to pick Lea up at the airport. Because of termite fumigation which they expected to be completed by now but still smelled nasty, Lea has to now stay at the pineapple farm with Kai, making things even more awkward. Kai is actually running the pineapple farm by himself and has been struggling. After the guests tour the farm, Lea asks him about maybe putting in a tasting area of some kind for tourists who visit the farm so they can sample fresh pineapple and perhaps sample a drink made with the juice. That would be the best way to sell directly to them and increase his business. And he likes her idea. Will he start paying more attention to her? Does he recognize that his own reactions to her might be indicating he has feelings developing toward her? And does she still feel her attraction to him? Could she be having thoughts of leaving New York when there could be so much more waiting for her here with Kai?
