The Girl and The Geek

A Billionaire Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy

My arch-nemesis is an infuriatingly hot, grumpy billionaire with the emotional range of a rock.

Too bad the tech titan is the only one who can fix my problem.

He wants a prime piece of land in Iceland for his next business venture. My climate change fighting startup needs that same land to—no big deal—help save the freaking planet.

He thinks my company is a joke. I think his opinion is a joke.

Our first time meeting? He saved me from drowning, and I inadvertently insulted him.

Now I’m chasing the grouchy giant up a dormant volcano (I’m terrified of heights, by the way) to convince him to do the right thing.

If I can’t change his mind, I’m screwed. (Not the good kind.)

If I spend one more minute counting his washboard abs, I’m screwed. (The very good kind.)

He’s the worst… until he’s the only thing I want (besides saving the world, of course).

Iceland is freezing, yet somehow, I’ve never felt more heated.

The Player and the Planner

A Billionaire Friends to Lovers Romantic Comedy

JEN

My high school best friend got impossibly hot and rich, but falling for him isn’t on my spreadsheet.

And I’ve got a spreadsheet for everything. After my ‘perfect’ life implodes, I return home with a strict Plan B:

1. Fight Climate-Change

2. Stay Single

The problem? Patrick. He went from shy and lanky to a crypto-rich playboy with a stomach full of abs and a heart full of gold. I join Patrick’s co-ed hockey league, and a friendly bet ends in a strip skate-off.

Suddenly, I have to decide between my sacred plans and this golden retriever with a dirty mouth.

PATRICK

I’ve been secretly in love with Jen for over ten years. Watching her choose my best friend and plan a life without me was devastating.

But then the game changed. She’s back, and she’s single. Now, I just need to prove to her that Plan B was always supposed to be me.

The Player and The Planner is a steamy, swoony, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring chaotic pet ferrets, screaming goats, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed golden retriever hero who fell first and fell hard.

Olivia M Gray

Born and raised in California, Olivia M Gray began her fiction writing career in her mid-forties while caring for her young son and in the midst of perimenopause because, like her books, she is slightly unhinged.

Liberated from her former life as an advertising writer, where clients nitpicked every word she wrote, and with the encouragement of her 6’5″ tech-genius husband (sound familiar?), she now writes with reckless abandon. Since her childhood home burned down in an unstoppable wildfire, she weaves in issues she’s passionate about, such as climate change and preventing gun violence.

Her stories are unapologetically spicy, fiercely optimistic, occasionally wacky, emotionally moving, and completely sober-safe (no mention of alcohol or illicit drugs, ever). She lives in California with Mr. Gray, her six-year-old son, and, when he’s home from college, her stepson.

She’s thrilled you’re here to enjoy her particular brand of joyful chaos!
