Of course, the one woman to spark my interest is the only one in Scotland who seems immune to my charm. Dr. Saoirse MacGregor is brilliant, beautiful, and decided she hated me at first sight.

  Click of Fate by Lauren Helms is a flirty, heartfelt romance with heat, humor, and a whole lot of chaos. With tropes like one-night stand to more, he-falls-first, and forced proximity, it’s perfect for readers who love emotional depth, found family, and a hero who falls hard—and a heroine who’s terrified he means it. Read Now! Once upon a time, there was a charming climber and a stubborn photographer who swore she'd never fall—until she did. Stella I don't do roots. Or relationships. Or anything that involves the word “forever.” But Luke Farley? He’s the kind of man who makes one night feel like a promise. With that stupidly perfect smile, a body built for sin, and hands that know exactly what they’re doing—he’s dangerously easy to want. It was supposed to be casual. A few non-dates, a little flirting, and zero expectations. Now I’m staring down feelings I swore I’d never catch… and falling for a man who climbs like he was born to tak...

I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-l...
