At least, he couldn’t–until he ran into the woman of his dreams. Literally. He slammed right into her in the middle of his morning jog, and it was pretty much love at first sight. For him, anyway.
Tina Falcone has never wanted the responsibility that comes with a family of her own. For Tina, the key to happiness lies in running her own pizza place, listening to true crime podcasts, creating miniature cemeteries out of thrifted pottery, and staying single. No man-child husband or crapping babies needed, thank you very much. She doesn’t even mind that she’s bucking years of Falcone family tradition to live her life this way. (Just don’t tell her meddling mother that.)
So what happens when the Odd Duck seems intent on breaking Tina’s spinster-streak? She has to admit, something about his giant grin, huge muscles, squishy belly, and tiny running shorts intrigues her. And the rubber duck tramp-stamp? Well, she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little intrigued by that, too.
Chantal is a Canadian spicy rom-com author, lifelong book lover, coffee addict, and nap aficionado.
Her passion lies in writing spicy, feel-good romantic comedies filled with swoon-worthy cinnamon roll heroes and strong, relatable heroines, with the odd cameo from other characters in the same world. Her books will make you swoon, sigh, and laugh until you cry (and maybe pee your pants a little).
When she's not writing rom-coms, she's a terrible homemaker, an unrepentant hobby-abandoner, and a mediocre wife and mom.
