Allison Avery loves to win. After years of academic effort, she has managed to be accepted into the prestigious doctoral program she has always dreamed of: she will study medieval literature under the guidance of a professor whom she has admired for years. But she soon finds out that her ex-boyfriend has also entered the same program. Colin Benjamin is perhaps the only person in the world who loves winning more than Allison. And when the two meet again, the competition begins. But what begins as a personal struggle of wits (and literature) soon turns into all-out war when the professor announces a golden career opportunity with only one open position. Competing with Colin is as natural as breathing, and after he broke her heart years ago, she's not about to let him win. But when a family emergency, a late-night road trip, and a flirtatious game of Scrabble bring them together again, Allison begins to wonder if they could be stronger on the same team. Although if they fall in love again, she will have to choose between a unique job opportunity or a second chance at love.

What Not to Wear and Queer Eye meet All the Feels in this sparkling romantic comedy by Jenny L. Howe, in which the new guest on a popular plus-size makeover show has her style-and her love life-transformed.Everly Winters is perfectly happy to navigate life like a good neutral paint color: appreciated but unnoticed. That's why she's still a receptionist instead of exploring a career in art, why she lurks but never posts on the forums for her favorite makeover show, On the Plus Side, and why she's crushing so hard on her forever-unattainable co-worker. When no one notices you, they can't reject you or insist you're too much. This plan is working perfectly until someone secretly nominates Everly for the next season of On the Plus Side. Overwhelmed by the show's extremely extroverted hosts and how much time she'll have to spend on screen, she finds comfort in a surprising friendship with the grumpy but kind cameraman, Logan. Soon Everly realizes that he's someone she doesn't mind being noticed by. In fact, she might even like it. But when their growing connection is caught on camera, it sends the show's ratings into a frenzy. Learning to embrace all of herself on national TV is hard enough; can Everly risk heartbreak with the whole world watching?
