Getting his heart broken by his new best friend wasn’t part of the plan.

Ed Delancey:

How does a nerdy, introverted data analyst make new friends? Very carefully and deliberately, of course. It throws me for a loop when grad student Rita Ryan effortlessly teases me out of my shell. But is she going to stick around long enough for our connection to go anywhere?

Rita Ryan:

Ed is quirky, sweet, and impossible to resist. Sticking to my job search with the World’s Hottest Nerd distracting me may be more than my ambition can handle. Even if I landed the perfect job, it’s hard to imagine leaving town—and the man who gets me on every level.

Love was never supposed to be part of the equation, but can World’s Hottest Nerd + Extrovert Extraordinaire = forever?

Alternately steamy, nerdy, and sweet, the Excelling @ Love Series follows a group of strong women as they find love in their small college town. Filled with feel-good romance, found family, and flirty banter, the Excelling @ Love books are happy hour for the soul.
