New York Spark Books

Welcome to the New York Spark series! It features a group of friends living in New York City:

Lily – a librarian

Tessa – a lawyer

Iris – a cyber-security analyst

Maddie – a reporter

Miranda – an artist (the protagonist in Caper Crush!)

One of their favorite places to visit is a bookshop that also serves hot drinks and cookies called Banter & Books and a community garden called the Oasis Community Garden. It’s a spin-off series from the New York Friendship Series.

*The romcom books in this series are interconnected standalones set in the same world. Each can be
read as a pure standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.

A New York enemies-to-lovers, feel-good, closed-door romantic comedy!

Tall, dark and handsome. That’s what I thought the first time I saw Rupert Evans in the library.

But then I found out he was the developer who just sent my community garden a cease-and-desist letter because he plans to raze the garden and construct some towering monstrosity there.

The only one who is going to cease and desist is him. That community garden is my found family.

But then he asks me out at book club night.

Suspicious, right?

I’m attractive but I’m not the type hot bachelors are lining up around the block to ask out. Let’s be real. I’m still in the brunch date spot with my next-door neighbor after a year of my pursuing him.

Rupert is trying to butter me up and lead me down the garden path so I concede. Never. 

He has no idea what we’ve planned to stop him. Our little community group may look like a bunch of frail roses, but we’ve got thorns. As long as I weed out these pesky feelings for him, I know we can win.

He hates lawyers. So I’m a lawyer pretending to be an artist. Forgetting one tiny detail: I can’t paint.

Tessa: There’s something about the way the blond guy laughs and leans in to listen. My gaze keeps returning to him.

The only problem is, we’re at an art gallery after work, and I’ve swapped my lawyer suit for a paint-splattered shirt. I’m pretending to be a struggling artist, acting as bait to entice a scammer who conned my friend out of thousands of dollars.

I look pathetic. But still, I approach Hot Guy.

Our glances meet, and an awareness shimmers across. He offers to buy me a drink, we’re definitely flirting, and then he asks me what I do. 

Just when Scammer Guy is in earshot.

I have no choice but to say I’m an artist. I can tell Hot Guy later I’m not.

But then he says he hates lawyers.

Now what? 

Zeke: She’s the worst artist I’ve ever seen.

And I hate that that makes me suspect that she’s lying to me. After my ex-girlfriend cheated on me, trust is in short supply.

Tessa makes me laugh, and it’s one adventure after another with her. Definitely different from my workaholic lawyer ex.

Maybe it’s time to give love a second chance.

All is fair in love and litigation, but when truth and deception clash, can you trust your heart?
