Locking Lips: A Chance Encounter Forced Proximity Romance

Every argument ends the same way. Closer than they should be.

I thought the woman who dumped soda in my lap on a flight was a nightmare.

Then I took her back to my hotel. 

I haven’t been able to forget her since. 

Caleb never expected a heated encounter with a stranger to linger—but when fate brings Heather back into his life, the connection reignites instantly.

Heather is focused, ambitious, and determined not to repeat past mistakes. Sleeping with a stranger was reckless, especially when it turns out he’s the photographer for her biggest career opportunity. Falling for him could cost her everything she’s worked for.

They clash. They argue. And every time they do, they end up in bed.

Heather paid the price for wanting love before. She can’t afford to let desire derail her future again.

But Caleb isn’t about to let Heather walk away. Instead, he’ll prove he’s not a risk to pay for—he’s the treasure worth fighting for. 

A sexy, emotionally charged romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances, and choosing love.
