A novel by Julia Keanini
From enemies to roommates to…more?
Mia Goodman needs a fresh start, and what better place to begin again than beautiful Maui? But her very first day on the island finds her swept out to sea by a dangerous current…before a ridiculously hot first-responder rescues her. As he carries her to shore—his rugged physique on full display—she can’t deny a budding crush.
Until the muscle-bound hero ruins it all.
After Koa Akana saves a woman who looks just like the ex-girlfriend who left him at the altar, he runs away as fast as he can. The last thing he needs in his life is another woman like Talia. But when chance encounter after chance encounter ends with Mia living across the hall from him, Koa can’t keep running.
Things are heating up between the firefighter and his new flame, but they’ve both been burned before and are sure that whatever is sparking between them can’t be more than just a pesky little crush.
Just a Pesky Little Crush is an island firefighter, enemies-to-lovers romcom that has all the sweet heat, sizzling kisses, and burning tension you need, but the actual flames are kept behind closed doors.
