Batter of Wits: An Enemies to Lovers Small Town Romance
Summary
Hate at first sight couldn’t possibly exist, right? That’s what Grace Buchanan thought, before her useless car stranded her on the side of a deserted road just inside the Green Valley city limits. When Tucker Haywood — tall and handsome and full of southern charm— shows up to help, her reaction to him is the strongest thing she’s ever felt in her life, and it makes no freaking sense. It doesn’t make much sense to Tucker, either. Not why she hates him, or why he finds her so intriguing. He knows well enough that Grace is moving to Green Valley for a fresh start, not to distract him when he’s got no room for something like her in his life. The complications between them are endless, but that doesn’t stop her definitely not love-at-first-sight feelings from changing into something else entirely. Grace and Tucker are about to learn the hard way that in Green Valley, hating someone has never tasted so sweet. Batter of Wits is a full-length contemporary romance, can be listened to as a standalone, and is book five in the Donner Bakery series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Moonshine Kiss
Summary
All those years of adolescent fantasies and this was how Bowie Bodine first touched my boobs. And he apologized. Real life was stupid and unfair.

Scratch that. Mr. You’re-Like-a-Sister-to-Me is not welcome in her fantasies. She and Bowie aren’t going to happen - that’s been clear for a long time - and as for the rest of mankind?

Except the investigation is testing her friendship with all the Bodines - Bowie in particular. Bowie knows he can’t have his little sister’s best friend. He made a promise and he’s determined to keep it. But putting distance between them isn’t easy - not when she lives right next door. Having her poke around trying to prove his father’s guilt isn’t helping either. All Bowie has ever wanted is to shed the No-Good Bodine reputation. It’s looking like he’ll never be free of that shadow. But one nocturnal animal, a feverish against-the-wall kiss, and absolutely zero pajamas has a way of changing everything.
