The Love Hack

Fans of Emily Henry will swoon for this nerdy chemistry …
Just when Tess Greene’s life is finally almost perfect, her past springs one last surprise on her. Targeted by an internet predator whose sleazy website is known for publicly humiliating women, Tess has one month to stop his ambush before her reputation is forever ruined.
As an IT disaster recovery specialist, Tess has always handled challenges on her own, but this calls for serious geek backup.
Max Hampshire, a brilliant hacker, is exactly the lifeline Tess needs. But she’s pretty sure she doesn’t need Max himself—certainly not his quick wit, sexy black-framed glasses, or all-around sweetness. The last guy who helped Tess left with his life crushed and his heart broken, so she knows that keeping her emotional distance from Max would be safer for both of them. But safety isn’t an option when love gets involved.

Cupid Tricks

The internet complicates everything—especially love.
Jo Harper isn’t always who men think she is. Every day she dons her psychology PhD and above-average computer skills like a super cape to right love’s wrongs. She and her team of four young women run an elite, undetectable online romance scam designed to trick married cheaters.

Jamie March, Bay Area royalty known as “The Conscience of Silicon Valley,” hates every aspect of online crime, especially those who defraud people. And when it appears that his brother is the victim of a sophisticated romance scam, he can’t stand idly by.

What’s weird, though, is that when Jo and Jamie meet, they don’t hate one another. Not at all. He makes her laugh and feel alive again. She challenges his intellect like no other. And their compatibility is off-the-charts sexy between the sheets. But enemies-to-lovers is only a fantasy.

The Love Hack

You can’t divorce yourself from love…
Attorney Emily Saturn needs to drown herself in work and turn off her feelings for her soon-to-be ex-husband, Bobby March.  A wave of insanity swept them into an intense whirlwind romance last fall, but the whole marriage was a mistake.

But Bobby is certain he can fix whatever has gone wrong. He’s been working on his new career and personal growth, determined to be the man his wife deserves. Confident he can get her attention, he invites Emily to a series of individually designed virtual escape rooms, each one a moment from their love story. Hopefully, the sexy, romantic trip down memory lane will spark their second chance.
Emily has never been able to resist a puzzle. Or, frankly, Bobby. The more she interacts with her husband online, the more she wants to see him again in person. Which is beyond stupid because Emily knows he’s not Mr. Right. Unless she’s wrong about everything.

Christmas Single Bells

It’s the classic holiday movie set-up, b

ut there’s mischief behind the scenes…

Jane Zielinski plans to create her own present this Christmas. She throws herself into directing a homemade reality dating web series, Single Bells, as a publicity stunt to keep her struggling small town competitive with the ritzy resort towns luring holiday tourists. It’s the perfect way to pair up with her crush—Michael, the boy-next-door-turned-most-eligible- bachelor–and be a hometown hero.
But gorgeous Bella Bradley, Jane’s childhood BFF who skipped town when times got tough, returns with handfuls of cash and a smoking-hot business partner, Nate Wright. It’s bad enough that Bella immediately upstages Jane’s attempts to save the town’s Christmas, but she also uses the Single Bells activities to rekindle her high school romance with Michael. Furious, Jane is not above sabotage, cheating, or flirting with the mischievous Nate to win.
Maybe it’s the Christmas shenanigans, maybe it’s the holiday magic … but suddenly, Nate is a lot more than a tall, dark, handsome stranger. But is he just a mistletoe fling.

Excerpt

Copyright 2024, The Love Hack by Michelle Dayton

 

But before I left…I cocked my head in Max’s direction. “You were engaged?”

He slumped back in his seat. “Yeah. It ended a year and a half ago.” His entire face tensed as though waiting for a barrage of follow-up questions.

I surprised him instead. “I was engaged once too. Seven years ago.”

Abigail pulled her face out of her champagne glass and stared at me, incredulous. “You were engaged when you were young? To a boy?” I rolled my eyes at her astonishment and nodded. “That’s hard to imagine.” She waved her hand at me. “I think of you as a sort of boozy Amazon.”

I hooted. Now that was funny. And not a terrible depiction.

“What happened?” she asked.

The waitress appeared with the check, and I handed over a bunch of cash before the others could move. “We called it off the morning of the wedding.”

I waited until their faces softened with sympathy before I added, “It was completely my fault, of course. He found out, just in the nick of time, that I wasn’t the nice girl he wanted to marry.”
