Your Pace Or Mine

Ashley Davis never thought she'd end up the perpetual third wheel. Her sister is married, her best friend is in love, but everything in her own life feels stagnant. So when an old friend asks her to be a social media influencer for his dating app, she agrees, hoping if she kisses enough frogs, one will turn into a prince.

Sebastian Rossi has always known one thing with certainty: He wasn't made for love. Hook-ups, sure, but there's no white picket fence in his future. His family has given him enough evidence that falling in love can be disastrous. Still, he's happy to cheer for others on the road to their Happily Ever After, and a collaboration with Ashley sounds like a win/win: His app gets more publicity, and she has help finding her Prince Charming.

What neither of them expects is for celebratory drinks to turn into friends-with-benefits, but they can keep things purely physical, right? As the two work together, it's hard to ignore their growing closeness, especially when Ashley introduces Sebastian to her close-knit running club and he starts to see that there are alternatives to being a lone wolf. Can Sebastian let go of his fears and open his heart to love, or will the feelings they're pretending not to have blow up in their faces?

This is a fade-to-black adult romance set in Toronto, Canada.
