Did someone say friends to lovers?
Oh wait. It's me. Hi. And yes, when it comes to friends to lovers, I am always the problem (or the solution??).
But there are no problems with a free book, and that's exactly what I've got for you today.
My low angst, steamy, playful BFFs to lovers romance The Last Key is free now through the 24th! So don't miss out! Grab your free copy right now!
Okay, okay, if you need to know more about it, read on…
The Last Key is FREE!
The Last Key is book two in the Baker Girls series (don't worry, you can read it as a complete standalone) and revolves around childhood best friends Kennedy Baker and Devon McGregor.
When Kennedy loses her job, she flies back home and into Devon's arms. After years of friendship and what they think are unrequited feelings, they stop holding back and start teasing and flirting with each other as they wait to see who will break and admit their feelings first. It's steamy, low angst, and lots of fun!

🗝️Excerpt🗝️
I’m getting comfortable in bed when Devon walks into the room shirtless, in gray mother effing sweats. Why are they sexier than other colors? Seriously, I was shopping for sweatpants the other day and saw some unisex ones. I flicked through all the colors and stopped to ogle the male model in the gray ones only. Exact same picture and I couldn’t see any peen outlines, but still, the gray was sexier.
At this point, he might know how women feel about a man in gray sweats and he’s doing this on purpose. Every day our teasing reaches a new level. I’m not complaining. It’s fun seeing how he’ll react and getting that little thrill every time he says or does something I’m not expecting.
“You okay?” he asks, and I realize I’m ogling him like I did the sweatpants model.
“Fine. Just thinking you should be a sweatpants model.”
He stops in his tracks and looks down. Then he grins. “Oh? Why? Do they look good on me?”
Why bother pretending? Claire made a good point that I won’t know if I don’t try. I might not be as brazen as her, but I can keep having fun with this. Eventually, there will be a moment, right? Or one of us will break. Maybe we’ll both break at the same time in a super-hot moment where we rip each other’s clothes off, and then—oh god. Claire’s right. I do need to get laid.
“Kennedy,” Devon rumbles, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to me, his eyes burning into me. If I wasn’t horny before…
“Hm?”
“I asked if you thought I look good in these. Then you spaced out.” He raises his eyebrows.
Clearing my throat, I lean forward and run my hand along his waistband. “You look hot in these.” His eyes widen as I lean closer, and he swallows hard. “So hot you should probably take them off.” Then I pull on the waistband and snap it against his stomach before leaning back as I laugh.
“Oh, you think you’re funny?”
He stands up as I continue laughing. Then, the smile slides right off my face as he pulls the waistband away and rolls his hips while slowly pulling them down, leaving him in tight boxer briefs.
Don’t look at his penis. Don’t. Do not. No peen.

While we're talking about the Baker Girls...
...Have you met Frannie?
Insert Barney Stinson voice here. And yes, if there's one thing I'm great at, it's random references to mid 2000s shows. Anyway…
If you're grabbing your free copy of The Last Key (and why wouldn't you?), make sure you add The Last Lie to your TBR as well! It features Kennedy's cousin Frannie Baker and Mark Abbott (of the Friends Like This Abbotts) in a fast burn, vacation rom-com. It's low angst with plenty of steam, a swoony book boyfriend, and laugh out loud moments, making it the perfect cozy or beach day read.
