The Exit Strategy: A Small Town Romance

From Amazon bestselling author Avery Maxwell comes a steamy small-town standalone romance packed with brother’s best friend tension, forced proximity, found family, laugh-out-loud banter, emotional healing, and a hero who’s been secretly in love with the same woman for years.

I, Junie Mercer, have a plan.
Step One: Escape Boston.
Step Two: Survive the internet scandal that turned me into a viral meme.
Step Three: Spend two months hiding out in a tiny coastal town fixing spreadsheets.
Step Four: Avoid Cole Whittaker at all costs.

Oops.

Cole isn’t just my new boss. He’s my brother’s best friend. My first heartbreak. And the one man I’ve spent six years trying—and failing—to forget.

Now I’m living above his garage in a neighborhood full of nosy retirees whose golf cart parades don’t adhere to speed limits.

Worse? Cole keeps acting like he knows me better than anyone else. He’s almost got me fooled.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that putting your heart in someone else’s hands is a terrible idea.

So I’ll stick to my plan. Do the job. Collect the paycheck. Execute my exit strategy.

Simple.

At least it would be if Porchlight Cove didn’t feel so much like home…and if Cole wasn’t making me question my entire plan.

The Exit Strategy is a steamy small-town romance packed with found family, brother’s best friend tension, forced proximity, meddling neighbors, emotional scars, big laughs, and a swoony happily ever after.
