Book Description
A laugh out loud romantic comedy starring the geeky billionaire boy next door ... Amy's life was going swimmingly. She was about to be promoted from English teacher to department chair. She was engaged to the hunky football coach (and owner of Get Fit with Danny). She was headed for a blissful honeymoon at her in-laws’ timeshare in Hawaii. And then ... Her promotion goes to some outlander from Philadelphia. She walks in on her fiancé “having lunch” with an adult film star. (Using “star” loosely here. Also “lunch.”) And Ethan McNamara—the boy next door she's known since they were in diapers—kisses her in front of everyone at the class reunion. Ethan’s a billionaire these days. (Thanks to the world’s most annoying game app.) He’s also pretty darn hot. (And that kiss made her tailbone tingle.) He wants her to pretend to be his fiancée for a week. She could use a week away from real life, tbh. (Especially if it involves a beach.) Besides, what else in her life could possibly go wrong? (Did I mention that kiss made her tailbone tingle?) Author Note: Anything for Her is a sexy-sweet friends-to-lovers romantic comedy with the boy-next-door-turned-billionaire, the world’s most annoying video game app, death-defying water slides, mud baths, fascinators, a fake engagement, and a porn star nemesis. A new standalone release. Readers are saying ... "Read this book for laughs, for sighs, and to be reminded how sweet falling in love can be." "A riot of a read!" "Different and soooo good!" "Enjoyable lighthearted funny friends to lovers romance read." "Just what my heart needed." "A truly wonderful read." "Enjoyable romantic comedy."

"This book sets forth a framework of understanding for people who want to know why they don't feel loved and cared about when they give their partner all their focus, attention, caring, understanding, consideration, and love. Doing anything for him is your style of relating. . . . I came to believe that relationships are important opportunities to grow emotionally by learning how to take care of one's self.
