The Drop Zone

Anyone who wants a definition of 'overconfident' might find Colby McGregor's photo beside it. He is third in line to the McGregor billionaire fortune, works as an adventure capitalist, and has a talent for getting under the narrator's skin. Their connection began with her knack for drawing out his brash attitude, and she keeps him around for exactly the same reasons.

Colby pulls out a version of her that she has not shown anyone for years, one that is playful and eager for risk. Their back-and-forth rivalry, where each tries to score the last word, is not just a game. As they grow closer, their budding friendship could be the first casualty if either of them misreads the other.

This slow-burn friends-to-lovers romantic comedy centres on a cocky, swoon-worthy hero. Its underlying idea is that some of the best parts of a story are the loose pages that fall out of the book. The novel is a complete standalone and ends without a cliffhanger.
