Falling for Ezra Thomas (Life With the Thomas Brothers Book 4)Romance · M. J. Padgett
Kissing the wrong twin paid off for her sister. Too bad it blew up in Lorelai’s face.
Lorelai Mays has always been driven. Her career proves that. After graduating high school and college early, she snagged a dream job as a veterinary intern at a local office. Unfortunately, the long hours and intense caseload are not what she expected. She’s stressed and overworked, and now she’s in love with a man who won’t give her the time of day after one intense kiss.
Ezra Thomas is happy for his best friend and brother—really, he is. But it’s the other Mays woman he can’t get out of his mind. Dating Lorelai had never crossed his mind before that fateful kiss, but now she is all he can think about. The problem is that he’s not supposed to fall in love with anyone right now. He made a commitment he can’t take back, but how can he tell Lorelai?
When Ezra finally shares his secret with his best friend’s sister, the two make a deal. They will communicate with the written word for ten weeks—the exact time he will be in training for his new career—and if their feelings grow during that time, he’ll marry her when he comes home. At first, Lorelai thinks this is too good to be true. But as each handwritten letter from Ezra makes her fall harder in love with him, she can’t help but wonder if God had this planned all along.

The Denver Dragons' team mascot is an enigma, and Finchley Bennett likes it that way. When the gymnast puts on the dragon uniform and performs death-defying stunts in front of huge crowds, it's the fulfillment of her life's dream. Keeping her identity a secret is part of the show's appeal, but it also allows Finchley to do what she loves without her father's judgment looming over her.
Aiden Doyle never met a mountain he couldn't conquer or a dare he didn't win, but his best friend's latest challenge might prove to be what breaks his winning streak. Unmasking the team's mascot will not be easy, but Aiden's need to fit in with his teammates drives him to do things he shouldn't… like following her home after a late game.
When Aiden discovers Finchley's secret—quite by accident—he is shocked to the core. How did his high school girlfriend manage to trick even him? Finchley begs Aiden to keep her secret, reminding him what will happen if anyone discovers her identity, but Aiden isn't quite ready to be the laughing stock of the Dragons.
To save her career, Finchley proposes they work together to pull a major prank on the team, one that will make them forget all about the silly dare. Only working together brings back feelings that never really went away, and with two reputations on the line, neither can afford to break their fa?ade.
