Sometimes love is war. Clay... My best friend has held a grudge against his half-sister, Lauren, forever. It's unjustified and ridiculous, but I have to take his side. Also ridiculous? How bad I have it for her. My Lauren radar goes off the second she steps in the building. Did I mention we work together and her dad's the boss? Yeah, she's so off-limits I might as well start running now and never come back. Except, her family is like family to me. So, I'll do whatever it takes to stick around, even if she hates my guts. Lauren... I date guys nothing like Clay on purpose. I will not let my old crush on him get the best of me. It's going on the list of things I've outgrown and will deny ever having, like the Justin Bieber poster I used to keep on the back of my door. It doesn't matter that I've caught Clay looking at me like he's a jewel thief and I'm a precious gem encased in glass. He'd never choose me over my brother, or his job, or his enjoyment in teasing me. Avoiding Clay is easy, until the day I realize my dad's asked for Clay's help in checking up on my dates. No stinking way.

When his best friend, Charlie, starts dating Jane Bennet, Will becomes their unhappy third-wheel. The solution? Bring along Jane's sister, Elsie, a girl who challenges him, makes him laugh, plagues his thoughts, and unfortunately, hates his guts. Will might control a lot of things, but he won't control her. Elsie's already been warned away by her new friend, Jeff Wickham, who found out the hard way that Will is not someone to be crossed. Things would be so much simpler if she was attracted to Jeff. But she's not. She's attracted to Will, and the tug-o-war between her mind and her heart is going to drive her mad.

Not Friends

Worst Neighbor Ever

Now his fake fiancée has set her sights on Elinor as enemy number one, and Elinor is the last person who deserves to be called a homewrecker. He's ready to call off this out-of-control favor, but if he unleashes the wrath of his fake fiancée, will Elinor be along for the ride?
