Battling Ben

It’s “No Reservations” meets “You’ve Got Mail” in the small town of Little River.

_He’s a diner owner clinging to the past. She’s the biggest threat to his future.

At least his dating app match understands…_

Best-selling author Marissa Anderson never thought she’d turn to a small-town diner to escape the stresses of writer’s block. She also never expected to thrive as a manager there while keeping her author identity a secret—and she never dreamed she’d find a family she didn’t know she needed. Except for her boss, who seems to see right through her.

Ben knows that Marissa is up to something. His suspiciously talented and attractive manager has a secret second job and more money than a manager should—enough to buy the diner that’s become his entire life and his family’s legacy right from under him. Worse, his co-owner sister adores Marissa and won’t let him simply fire her. Then he stumbles across a famous author on a dating app and begins to fall for her—a woman who is clever, fun, and understanding in a way that Marissa will never be.

Marissa is on the app for book research, not meeting people—and certainly not having heart-to-heart conversations with her boss behind the safety of her pen name. She resolves to use their accidental connection only to get to know him better. So when their casual conversations deepen, she knows she’s in trouble. When Ben finds out, he’s bound to hate her even more.

Even if she might be falling for him too.

Set in the magical small town of Little River, this enemies-to-lovers sweet romance involving secret identities is book seven of the series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.
