✨Swipe for a cover reveal + blurb!✨

I’m so excited to finally share with you this cover that I’ve been holding on to for months. Originally, I was going to go with a man cover, like Secrets of the Heart, but made the decision a while back to change all my covers to a watercolor theme. And yes, Secrets of the Heart paperback will be getting an update very soon. Perks of creating my own covers I guess?

Anyway! Huge shout out to @author_ashleyalexander for always letting me run things by her first and @abookybrunette for helping me rework the blurb to get it just right!

Here’s the blurb 💖 

Everett had one rule: Amie was off-limits. No exceptions. As the heir to his father’s billion-dollar real estate empire, keeping his priorities straight was a necessity—not a choice. And his sister’s best friend was not a priority.

But when Amie won’t stop gushing about some ridiculous crush on a mysterious biker content creator, he decides it’s time to step in. Someone’s got to help her move on from that impossible fantasy, right?

The only problem?

The guy she’s obsessed with…is him. She just doesn’t know it.

Scared of what would happen if she learned the truth, Everett does the only thing he can—he helps her chase her dreams while burying his feelings even deeper. She’s off-limits, always has been, and that can never change, no matter how badly he wishes it could.

Now, he’s stuck juggling flirtatious DMs, real-life awkwardness, and a growing need to kiss Amie senseless—all while pretending he isn’t the man she dreams about.

Because if the truth comes out, it could cost him the only woman he’s ever loved.

Playing Cupid is a billionaire best friends brother romance novellla and is available for pre-order on the Zon.
