Avery Lawson has waited her entire life to find her person. In fact, she had begun to think that perhaps the only people she would ever have in her corner would be her family and her friends. Until she met Jameson.

Jameson Brownley wasn't looking for love. He might have been doing the exact opposite. But when Avery walked into his bar weeks ago, their connection was immediate.

Fake dating only lasted so long. Inevitably, Avery and Jameson were unable to deny the chemistry that grew between them, and the once-in-a-lifetime kind of love that would result when they finally let the lines blur into something real.

But what happens when their luck runs out?

The Cost of Us is a steamy, romantic suspense set in New York City—featuring witty banter, found family, an undeniable connection, and high stakes that threaten to break everything apart.

The Cost of Us is the second book in a planned trilogy. It is highly recommended to read the first book, The Odds of Us, prior to reading the ARC.

ARC requests will be reviewed until 12/13/2026
