Play with Me

A shy librarian and a charming ex-tennis pro single dad come together in this steamy friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestseller Claire Wilder. With banter, steam, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.

I’ve been in love with my best friend Jude Kelly—and his dark-haired mini-me son Cap—since the moment they walked into my library.

Jude thought I didn’t recognize him as the ex-tennis pro who’s now the big draw for his family’s luxury resort. I did.

He thought I was immune to his gorgeous smile and signature panty-melting wink. I wasn’t.

But my shy and frumpy corduroy was never going to be a match for Jude’s sweet and gorgeous charm—even if he did believe in love. Which he doesn’t.

That’s why I accepted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do a college program in London. Two years with an ocean between us should help Jude and Cap find their best match. It should help heal my broken heart, too.

Except there’s just one thing keeping me from forgetting: that night I said I was leaving.

That night Jude Kelly kissed me.

Play With Me is book four in the interconnected standalone Quince Valley Romance series. Featuring an introvert meets extrovert (un)requited love story, high heat, explosive banter, frisky business in a convent (!?) and a little mystery subplot too. There is no need to read the other books in the series to fall head over heels for Play With Me.
