Hi friends! If you’re new to my books, here’s a little about what to expect from the Boyfriend in the Bargains series.
This series consists of three full-length novels plus a Christmas novella following the Lockwood siblings, Grant, Maddy, and Alex, and their closest friends and family. More details on each book are included below, but you should know that all of them are sweet, closed-door (kissing only!) romantic comedies that will make you laugh and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
In each story, some type of bargain or agreement leads to love, hence the series name Boyfriend in the Bargain!

The Wedding Date Deal
A Sweet Romantic Comedy
Boyfriend in the Bargain Series #1
He needs a girlfriend and she needs some cash. Both of them get more than they bargain for when they strike an unusual deal.
Grant – The last thing I want to do is watch my brother marry my ex-fiancée. Nothing good can come from showing up to the wedding alone and revealing to my family just how much I haven’t moved on.
If I had a girlfriend, it might be a different story, but I’m definitely not ready for another relationship. My best friend’s suggestion that I hire a fake girlfriend is out of the question – except that it seems like the perfect solution to Annie’s dilemma, too.
Annie – I’ve never been a damsel in distress, but a streak of bad luck has left me so short on cash that when Grant proposes a deal that will help get my bank account back on track, I have to at least consider it.
All I have to do is pretend to be Grant’s girlfriend for a couple days at his brother’s beach wedding. Sure, it’s an unconventional arrangement, but how bad could it be?
The Wedding Date Deal is a sweet romantic comedy that will keep you laughing as you travel from Nashville, TN to the beaches of Florida. If you like meddling friends and family plus a slow-burn romance with chemistry but not too much heat, this is the book for you!
What to expect:
Fake dating
Rich boyfriend
Family drama
Slow burn romance
Closed door/kissing only

The Parenting Pact
A Sweet Romantic Comedy
Boyfriend in the Bargain Series #2
Being a single parent isn’t easy. Finding love as a single parent? That’s not even on my radar.
I’ve been parenting my son on my own for five years since my husband passed.
But now that I’ve started my own interior design business, I’m beginning to realize I could use some extra help. What I need is a partner, someone to share the day-to-day logistics of running a house, raising a kid, and operating my business.
What I don’t need is to complicate my life with romance, no matter what my best friend says.
When I meet Chris, a single dad from my neighborhood, I get a crazy idea. My plan is definitely outside the box, but I think we can make it work – as long as I can keep things platonic.
But Chris is patient, persistent, passionate…all the P-words that make staying only friends harder than I thought it would be.
The Parenting Pact is book #2 in the Boyfriend in the Bargain series but can be read as a standalone.
What to expect:
- Dual POV
- Friends-to-more
- He falls first
- Single parents
- Love after loss
- Closed door/kissing only
- Trigger warning for discussion of loss of a spouse/parent
The Holiday Exchange
A Sweet Romantic Comedy
A Boyfriend in the Bargain Novella
(Prequel to The Wedding Date Deal)
Sometimes an old-fashioned swap is the best way to make things happen.
Kayla:
It’s my first time directing the Christmas program at school and I think I have things mostly under control — except for the part where I have to build a set with a small budget and even smaller construction experience. When the quiet guy at the hardware store volunteers to help in exchange for me teaching him how to talk to people, it feels like an unfair trade. But Trevor doesn’t seem to think I’m taking advantage of him and I sure could use the help with this set.
Trevor:
Offering to help Kayla on a whim is definitely not like me, especially since she’s beautiful, friendly, and way out of my league. But I’m determined that as soon as we finish this project I’m going to ask her out — even if a girl like her dating a guy like me is a long shot.
If you like a friends to more romance with kittens and a shy hero, this Boyfriend in the Bargain holiday novella is for you.
What to expect:
– Dual-POV
– Friends to more
– Shy hero
– Closed door/kissing only
