8 Things Not To Do This Spring

Carly had a plan to get over Dr. Marcus Vaughn.
Eight goals. Very reasonable. Extremely achievable.

The problem?
Marcus-the brilliant, devastatingly handsome surgeon she works with-has a strict no-dating-coworkers rule. And somehow, instead of helping her move on, he hijacks her list, follows her to Vegas, and ends up married to her after one prank, too much alcohol, and a wildly unfortunate chapel stop. Oops.

For one hopeful second, Carly wonders if this is finally her moment. Unfortunately, Marcus is determined to annul the marriage and put them firmly back in the friend zone.

So Carly does what any sensible woman would do: she escapes to her hometown of Sugar Creek for a reset. New goals. New boundaries. Absolutely no married surgeons showing up on her doorstep.

Except Marcus does. And suddenly, pretending they don't belong together feels harder than breaking every rule they've been trying to follow.

8 Things Not to Do This Spring is a sweet, romcom-style small-town romance featuring an accidental Vegas marriage, a forbidden workplace crush, friends-to-lovers vibes, and a happily-ever-after with only kisses on the page. Stand-alone with no cheating, no triangles, and plenty of heart.
