NEARLY HER
She was the twin with a PLAN
It isn't easy being the beautiful sister. Jill would know, she's both beautiful and accustomed to getting things easily. So watching her identical twin struggle to pay off a mountain of medical debt was tough. Jill, a model turned temp secretary, is ready to mortgage her lovelife to help her sister. Whatever it takes. Even if it means marrying Chicago's most famous bachelor.
Unless she finds another way.
Doing a bad thing for a good reason isn't terrible? Is it? With modeling contracts getting harder to come by, Jill tries on her sister's resume - they are twins after all. Landing the job is only half the battle, there's a bonus if she manages to entrap her boss in dangerous liaisons.
But Ben Cross isn't the bad guy she's set up to meet. He's clever, nerdy and hot as all heck. As her marriage of convenience approaches, Jill has a choice; go to Switzerland to oversee the PR event of Ben's career, or help her sister. But maybe, taking this job will grant her the freedom she's always needed. Sometimes being someone else is the best chance you can have to meet yourself. Will she fall in love or be NEARLY HER.

NEARLY WED
Does a twin by any other name taste as sweet?
Ellie Sharpe is the good twin. Responsible, dependable, she’s a survivor. Jill, her flighty identical sister, is her opposite in all but appearance. But when media darling Luke Hamilton enters their family diner, Ellie seizes the opportunity and invites Jill, staging a meet-cute. Always put your best foot forward, right?
Marrying into the Hamilton family would solve their financial worries, but Ellie can’t help but feel jealous at the ensuing proposal. But when Jill falls in love with someone else, a last minute opportunity presents: Take her place at the altar with a twin-switch for the ages.
For Luke it’s simple: prove he’s not the untrustworthy playboy the media portrays, and cement his newest business initiative as a married man. For Jill, being arm candy is quid pro quo, a part she’d gladly play for the financial security to settle her family’s medical debts. But Ellie? Can she marry with the same calculated ease as her identical counterpart? Will Luke notice the difference between them or is the whirlwind courtship fast enough to blur most of the details? And what happens when Jill comes back? Will a twin by any other name taste as sweet?

NEARLY LATE
Ten years is an awfully long time to stay mad at the one who got away!
No one likes a highschool reunion. Ok, maybe some people do. Those who are born with the rare amalgamation of genes that allow for a Disney movie version of secondary school. It wasn’t the case for Jenny then, and it certainly wasn’t the case for her now.
Ongoing fights with brain cancer left her with a permanent bad hair day for her teen years and the only thing worse than disinterest from an adolescent peer group is pity. Nothing sexy about that. Not then, not now.
Luckily, most of the time, high school feels very far away. Ten years away. Except it’s not anymore. The reunion is looming, and Jenny has already RSVP’d with a plus one. Finally, a chance to show up looking decent, image vastly improved by the date on her arm. Or it would have been, had he not dumped her.
She’d cancel, but she can’t. She’s got a job teaching in the same school as of January, so this Christmas party is a must. A holiday high school reunion? What could be worse?
Maybe, it’s finding out the date her best friend pulls together last minute is actually her high school boyfriend. Back, and hotter than ever.
