Charlotte Madsen's whole world came crashing down six months ago with the words, "I met someone else." Thirty-seven, recently divorced, and childless. That's Charlotte when she disembarks from the plane in Getaway Bay. She wants to get away, that's for sure. She thought the best way to do that was to buy a run-down house overlooking the bay, knowing she'll need all her fixer-upper skills to get it in shape. Which is just fine. She's hoping as she overhauls the house, she'll get a life makeover too. She was not expecting a tall, handsome man to be under the kitchen sink when she arrives at the supposedly abandoned house. She wasn't expecting to get drenched when the non-plumber twists something the wrong way. And she certainly wasn't expecting her heart to be well enough to feel anything for anyone. But former Air Force pilot, Dawson Dane, has a charming devil-may-care personality, and Charlotte could use some carefree laughter in her life. But everything with Dawson isn't sunshine and unicorns. He's estranged from his family, though he does speak to one of his brothers. And he's never committed to anything except his career, even choosing flying over an engagement years ago. Can Charlotte navigate the healing process as she renovates the island house? Can Dawson finally make a commitment to a woman? Or will he and Charlotte decide a relationship is just too hard?

Falling for a man was nowhere in my five-step plan. I came to Whispering Key from O’Leary as a career move. Mason Bloom, doctor to the stars at a swanky resort on a private island? Heck yes. What I did not come for was romance, because I have been there, done that, have an ex-girlfriend to prove it, and frankly was distinctly underwhelmed by the whole endeavor. Yet from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing goes the way I’d expected. The resort’s falling apart. The island’s inhabitants are ridiculous... and ridiculously charming. The whole place is awash in stories of shipwrecks and treasure. Then there’s Fenn Reardon: Gorgeous. Infuriating. Male . And did I mention infuriating? The man is the eye of the hurricane upending my life. He pushes every one of my buttons. He makes me feel crazy. Out of control. And more alive than I have ever felt before. I find myself craving his company, longing for his touch, kissing him on the beach, wanting him in my bed… and questioning just how straight I really am. Falling for Fenn was not in my plans… but I’m starting to think the key to happiness might be going off plan entirely.

Suddenly, Ridley's living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog's affections. But she's also proving that she's so much more than his first impression.

He actually gets the female perspective without making it feel performative. The emotional beats are genuine, and he writes sexual tension like he understands what women (and men if they’d admit it!) actually want to read.” ????? "I didn't think anything could top Book 1 of this series, but OMG JACK MIDNIGHT. The fake dating! The chemistry! The banter between these two had me cackling and then sobbing. Nate Wilder absolutely nailed this one." ????? "Okay so fake dating is my favorite trope and this DELIVERED. Jack is cocky and charming but also vulnerable in ways that gutted me. Lark is guarded and snarky and I loved her so much. And the steam??? Good lord. I need a cold shower and the next book immediately." ????? "This book gave me everything I needed. Banter that made me laugh out loud, tension that had me sweating, and an emotional payoff that made me ugly cry. Jack and Lark feel so real and their chemistry is insane. Until You Say Stay is going on my favorites shelf forever." ????? "I flew through this in one sitting and I'm obsessed. Nate Wilder writes characters that feel like actual people and I cannot get enough. Already pre-ordering the rest of the series!"
