Just Don't Fall
Book 1 of the Sweater Weather series
336 pages · First published 2023
Parker has never forgotten Logan Barnes, her brother’s best friend and the teenage crush who disappeared into professional hockey without a goodbye. Years later, an injury and bad publicity send Logan back to their hometown to play for the minor-league team where Parker works in social media—and he does not even remember her. Their jobs keep them together, and an accidental fake-dating arrangement gives Parker’s old feelings far too much room to return. This closed-door hockey romantic comedy combines brother’s-best-friend history, second chances, and fake dating with the problem of falling again for someone who may leave again.
