Title: Make Me Lose (Bayshore Series Book #1)
Author: Ember Leigh
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Grayson Daly and I aren’t just rivals. We’re enemies.
Born minutes apart on the same day in the same hospital, our parents thought this meant we were somehow destined to be together. We knew were we just destined to beat each other.
Competition boiled over until junior year, when the cold war turned into an unexpected peace offering. Maybe my hormones allowed me to notice his broad shoulders, stormy gray-blue eyes, and soccer star’s chiseled frame. But after I fell for him…he stomped all over my heart.
Ten years later, I’m at the top of the realty game in Bayshore and Grayson is just a distant memory. Until he shows up from NYC, his ego bigger than a skyscraper, and asks me to sell the house he recently inherited.
It’s easy to say no. Even though I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to dangle from in strong arm battles.
But I forgot that Gray doesn’t take no for an answer. And that he isn’t content unless he’s defeating me.
He butts into my evenings on the boat. Ropes me into water skiing battles. Even shows up at the bar and creates a scene when I’m scouting a date to the upcoming Bicentennial Ball.
It’s almost like he’s gunning to win me.
But if he wins, that means I lose.
And I’m not ready to cede victory just yet.

Title: Make Me Fall (Bayshore Series Book #2)
Author: Ember Leigh
Genre: Contemporary Romance
There’s one rule in my family.
Stay away from the Daly brothers.
We were raised to know them as users. Manipulators. But I only ever saw Connor as the enigmatic senior hottie who dropped into fifth period to teach us about the perils of drunk driving.
When my first big girl job out of college ends up with us working at the same company, it’s heart throb city all over again. Except he’s way ahead of the game. Successful, talented, put together. I’m just a frumpy twenty-something in a quarter life crisis who doesn’t know a glue stick from a makeup highlighter.
He would never want me, even though he’s all I ever wanted in secret. So when we cross paths one night at the bar and one drink leads to another, he slaps me with an offer I can’t refuse.
Accompany him back to Bayshore, flight included.
Only stipulation? Pose as his girlfriend.
Our families will flip, but I’m not strong enough to say no to those baby blues, especially if it means I’ll have a chance to go on vacation with my adolescent heart throb.
We’ve got two weeks to prove we’re head over heels for each other.
Which is just enough time to make me fall.
Gray sure loves his girl…

Hazel,
Sometimes I wonder what our lives would look like if we hadn’t spent the first 29 years despising each other. I know our insane competition produced a few epic moments—like that time you joined the men’s tennis team just to beat me – but really have you ever thought about it? What if we hadn’t fucked up our first attempt at love senior year?
Think about it Hazel. We would have been married by age 19. Kids by 22. Maybe you still would have become the realty mogul you are today – but I certainly wouldn’t have gone to New York to get lost in investment banking. We could have been celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary by the time we hit 29.
Instead, we’re just starting out now. We don’t have 10 good years under our belt. We’ve been saying “I love you” for months, not decades. I think about this all the time, babe.
I know, I know – I can hear you telling me to be glad that we finally made it over our lifelong speedbump. And trust me, nobody is more grateful than we are.
But now that I have you in my life, where you belong, I only want more of you. I want you tomorrow. Next week. Next year. I want you for all the times we missed out on, and all the times we have yet to share. I want you forever, babe.
You’re the only one I’d lose a match of tennis for. And that’s never going to change.
Love,
Gray
