Dating is a nightmare.

For successful Aubree Cole, finding love while building a lucrative career seems to be just out of her reach.

The Meet Cute dating app sounded like a great idea. But a series of crash and burn dates has her rethinking dating that is…until she meets him.

Matthew, a sexy Australian bartender comes to her rescue after a date bails on her. He gives her a much-needed cocktail and some great advice…along with inspiring a few naughty daydreams.

It’s just enough to make her take a chance on love again. When a secret admirer challenge lands in her dating app inbox to French Kiss a Stranger, she knows just where to start.

Throwing caution to the wind, she accepts the dare. Maybe she needs to get out of her comfort zone a bit to uncover something…more.

One supposedly-harmless challenge turns into multiple romantic encounters with Matthew and she’s left more confused than ever about which man she wants more, the friendly neighborhood bartender or the sexy secret challenger from the dating app.

Aubree is ready to find the one. But is the one ready to find her?

There were three things Henley Cunningham knows about Russell Rawlings.

1. He was gorgeous. He was the kind of hot and sweet sort of golden boy that made a girl simultaneously want to dance and sing like she was in an old-time musical number and drop her panties.
2. She hadn’t seen him since she was fifteen.
3. He was her stepbrother. But looking at him now and remembering all of the things she’d wanted him to do to her… her infatuation had been the worst idea in the history of ideas.

He’s home for the summer after her first year of college and the last thing she needs to do is let her childhood crush cause trouble…but that’s just what Russell Rawlings is…TROUBLE.

He’s the CEO and she’s off limits…

Spencer Howe can’t let anyone know what’s going on in his head, especially when he daydreams about bending his junior ad account manager over her desk and showing her what her sass does to him. Cate Cross isn’t just sassy though, she’s beautiful, brilliant and perfect for the senior account manager position at his advertising firm.

He knows he gets under her skin when he calls her his assistant. He does it to get a rise out of her, and she throws it right back at him. There is so much chemistry between them, but he knows it won’t work. She can’t stand him most of the time. If he doesn’t get her to accept his company’s promotion soon, he’s afraid another company will take her away from him when she finishes her MBA. He’ll do anything to show her that she’s his, in the office and out, even if that means breaking a desk or two to prove his point.
