Sarah Adams Synopses: In The Cheat Sheet, Bree Camden is hopelessly in love with her longtime best friend, NFL superstar Nathan Donelson. She refuses to admit it, convinced he sees her only as a friend and terrified of ruining the most important relationship in her life. She tries to focus on her dance studio instead, a dream she built after a car accident ended her chance at becoming a professional ballerina. But rising rent threatens to shut the studio down for good.

Nathan steps in, as he always does, and buys the entire building, hoping to help. Bree is furious, and after more than a few tequila shots, she vents to a TMZ reporter. One viral video later, the world believes she and Nathan are secretly in love. Before they can talk through her confession, Nathan’s publicist presents an opportunity that could secure Bree’s financial future. The catch is simple and impossible: they have to pretend to be a couple for three weeks.

As Bree and Nathan navigate their fake romance, the line between friendship and something deeper blurs, forcing Bree to confront the feelings she has tried to bury for years.

In The Rule Book by Sarah Adams, Nora Mackenzie’s new career as a full‑time sports agent depends entirely on her first client: NFL tight end Derek Pender, who also happens to be her extremely attractive college ex. Their breakup was messy, and Derek has not forgotten it. If Nora wants to represent him, he is more than willing to let her try, but he plans to make the process as difficult as possible.

Nora refuses to quit, and soon she is running her own quiet campaign to outmaneuver him. Everything shifts after a wild night in Vegas ends with the two of them waking up married. With their carefully drawn boundaries gone, Nora and Derek must decide whether this unexpected twist can salvage their careers or spark something real between them.

As they navigate their new situation, the old rule book no longer applies, and the future they never imagined begins to take shape.

To Con a Gentleman, the first book in the Dalton Family series, follows Rose Wakefield, a con woman who has spent her life surviving on the streets of London. She knows how to separate a gentleman from his money without ever getting caught, until she knocks on the wrong door and finds herself face‑to‑face with Carver Ashburn, Earl of Kensworth, instead of the notorious rake she intended to target.

Carver is a good man carrying heavy grief, and even a good man can be tempted by an escape. Playing along with Rose’s scheme, he offers marriage as part of the ruse, a choice that quickly entangles them both. When Carver brings Rose to his family estate, circumstances force them to continue the deception far longer than either expected.

Carver needs to protect his family, and Rose needs to protect herself and her heart. With so much working against them, they must decide whether love and freedom are worth the risk, or whether the possibility of more heartache is too much to face.
