When a mistaken obituary reunites two old crushes, sparks fly and a second chance at love ignites. But will the one that got away finally stay?

Karl and Molly were never together. There was a time, right after high school, where it seemed like they might finally cross the line from friends to lovers . . . but instead, a foolish misunderstanding meant they never spoke again. Molly went to LA and got married. Karl stayed in Harlot's Bay and bought a bakery.

The only connection the pair has shared over the years is painfully one-sided: Now divorced, Molly narrates monster romance audiobooks, and Karl is an ever-diligent listener, clinging to his only piece of the one that got away.

Still, Molly hasn't totally left Harlot's Bay behind. When she hears that Karl's obituary has run in the local paper, unexpected grief prompts her to hop on the next flight to Maryland . . . where she finds Karl very much alive, the victim of nothing but an accidental obituary.

As the pair reunite, they finally hash out their missed connection. True, Molly isn't quite ready to trust again, but Karl is determined to prove himself worthy of her faith and devotion. And as her remaining time in Harlot's Bay ticks down, Molly, the habitual cynic, just might find that Karl, the cranky town curmudgeon, is impossible to leave behind a second time.

This hilarious grumpy/grumpy romance, second in the Harlot's Bay series, is packed with Dade's signature body positivity and a delicious amount of spice ❤️❤️

It looks like Jessica and Jack have it all. Their social media accounts show them glamorous, happy and sickeningly in love. They even landed a book deal to share their seven rules for a perfect marriage – an instant bestseller, of course.

But behind the scenes it's not so simple. Jessica is determined to make a success of her business and has stopped making time for Jack. Meanwhile Jack is learning that he hates the life of an Instagram husband.

In a bid to reboot their relationship, they decide to go back to basics and follow their own rules. But they're about to learn that there is simply no such thing as perfect, and, in fact, there might be a lot more to making a marriage work than just following the rules…

Seven Rules for a Perfect Marriage is a funny and poignant celebration of long-term love, asking what happens when Happily Ever After doesn't always look so happy.
