Strategically Inappropriate
(2025)(The third book in the Strategically Chaotic series)
A novel by Eliza Nevius
Maci has a plan for everything—except maybe her own love life. As the co-founder of Bound Books Publishing, she’s used to controlling chaos, not starring in it. But after an alcohol fueled one-night stand with her friend Eli occurs, that chaos she has been trying to avoid hits her head on. Now, everything is messy. Crossing that line has made things awkward. Add to that the emotional crisis that is her best friend, Lexie, and Maci's life has turned into one big ball of drama.
Eli doesn’t do relationships, emotions, or spontaneous anything, but Maci seems to be the exception to his rules. He thought they could keep things casual'''until his ex resurfaces, his family starts pushing for a reconciliation, and Maci starts dodging him like he’s contagious. Suddenly, he’s not so sure detachment is working out.
When Lexie and Ben rope them into helping plan their wedding, the romantic tension between Maci and Eli goes from simmer to full-on inferno. Between rogue glitter explosions, cake disasters, and tipsy grandmas, the line between friends and lovers is not just blurred—it’s basically a smoldering crater.
Now Maci has to decide: is she brave enough to break her own rules for a chance at something real?
And can Eli finally open his carefully guarded heart—before he loses the one person who makes him want to?
Because love? It’s never part of the plan… but sometimes it’s exactly what you need.
Genre: Romance
