The Blue Ox Boys, Book 1

Romantic Comedy

The Not So Neutral Zone

One perfect day in Barcelona. One kiss that changed everything. One goodbye that broke my heart.

I’ve always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else’s love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse—and then my entire day—I dared to believe my story might finally be starting.

Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name.

Classic.

Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody “Candy” Kane—NHL golden boy, my sister’s fiancé’s teammate—and he needs a favor. As in, a girlfriend to keep his reputation in good shape while he skates into a new contract. And frankly? I wouldn’t mind a date to my sister’s over-the-top wedding.

The deal: Fake date through wedding season. Break up at the end. No harm, no foul.

The rules: Fake smiles for the cameras. Fake hand-holding for the fans. Absolutely, positively, no falling for each other for real.

The problem: The chemistry that sparked in Barcelona? Never actually went away. And pretending to be in love with someone you’re already halfway in love with?

Terrible idea. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Growing up in a writer’s household, Sarah May Warren always knew she was doomed to catch the writing bug—and she did, right around the time she met and fell in love with her now husband, Neil. She finally started writing her first full length novel while pregnant with their first child, and she hasn’t stopped since. When she’s not writing a story, or adding another book to her endless TBR, Sarah can be found volunteering with her Church’s worship team, coordinating weddings, or cuddling up for movie night with her two amazing daughters—oh yeah, and that scruffy hubby of hers.
