The Warner Park Collection #1
Warner Park
Andrew
Starting over in Los Angeles wasn’t supposed to be easy, but I didn’t expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real—a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He’s charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it’s just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I’m around him, the harder it is to remember what I’m running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it.
Vince
I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything’s fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I’m used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I’ve kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life.
Part of the Warner Park Collection
This novel is part of the Warner Park Collection, a set of interconnected romances set in Los Angeles. Each book can be read as a standalone, but together they weave a larger story of friendship, found family, and love in all its forms.

So Good
Loved how two broken people found each other and fell in love. Their support group was so caring and funny. Would have liked to see how Kaitlynn took the news of their relationship.
