While Supplies Last
Josie Hare left her hometown a decade ago with a broken heart and no plans to ever return. She doesn’t do strings and loves going wherever she wants, whenever she wants, financing her nomad life as a faceless cam girl.
When Josie’s van breaks down and the only mechanic for miles is in Sterling Springs, she will have more to confront than just an expensive repair bill—her ex.
Sly Sterling is a man of few words and even fewer indulgences. When he isn’t running his family’s garage, he’s keeping to himself in his small town and waiting on his favorite content creator’s next post.
Committed to giving Josie the closure she deserves, Sly will do anything, even if it means letting her go—again—because it’s the only way to love her.
They were each other’s first, but will they do SOMETHING SPONTANEOUS and be each other’s last?
Something Spontaneous is a spicy second chance romance filled with banter, undeniable chemistry, small town forced proximity, and a guaranteed happily ever after. When Josie ends up back in her hometown and the only mechanic for miles is the boy who broke her heart… they were each other’s first, but will they take this second chance to be each other’s last?
Perfect for readers who love:
- Dual POV
- Small Town
- Second Chance
- Forced Proximity
- Banter
- Found Family
