Before You

If you don't want to fall in love, don't date the eternal romantic…

Real estate agent Tyler Benedict is known for her sharp personality and stunning good looks. Her love life is nothing but one-night flings with bad boys and that's just the way she likes it. Until she meets a way-too adorable nerd at a Halloween party and accepts his friend request.

IT Specialist Sebastian Murano loves video games almost as much as searching for his soul mate. Too bad life has sent him one failed relationship after the other. But when he bumps into the most beautiful person ever at a party one night, his romantic heart resuscitates.

Tyler and Sebastian couldn't be more opposite. He's a nerd, she's not. He's a gamer, she hates video games. He likes to organize, and she's a mess.

But the only thing bigger than Sebastian's heart is his determination to make Tyler happy. And the more time they spend together, the more Sebastian's sweet words and gentle touches unravel Tyler's steadfast ways.

Will Sebastian win her heart, or will Tyler end up breaking his?

Author's Warning: This steamy, opposites attract, happily ever after prequel is a slow-to-intense burn, complete with a charming lakeside cabin, amusing banter, clever ways to eat dessert, and all the emotions that will remind you to love yourself before you can be loved in return.
