"If we're both still single when we're thirty, we'll marry each other..."
The marriage pact was made during a lazy day at the beach, half in jest, and seemingly forgotten by the boy who started it.
But ten years later, Kay hadn't forgotten. She's still shy and introverted, not interested in relationships. So when Adrian reappears in her life--two years early--and asks her to marry him now, she surprises herself by agreeing.
So now she must deal with her mother's disapproval, his brother's hostility, and a load of self-doubt. Can she forge a real relationship with Adrian? Has he really changed from a ladies man to someone she can trust? Will she be able to let go of everything she's ever thought she wanted and reach out to grab a new future?
Prescription for a Lonely Heart is the first book on the "Hearts in Glencoe City" series. This friends-to-lovers standalone romance features a marriage pact, a calm-but-sassy heroine, a himbo with a heart, and a HEA guaranteed.

Excerpt
"Give her a kiss!!" My eyes tear open and we break apart, startled. That's when I notice the small crowd that have gathered, drawn together by the sight of a man on bended knee. It slaps the contentment out of me and the tension returns. Eventually I track the voice to a sweet little old lady, arm in arm with her equally sweet little old husband. "Come on now! Kiss!"
The color drains from my face as I look back at Adrian, terrified. A kiss? They want us to kiss! That is not what I signed up for! I mean, it would make sense for me to kiss him because that's how it usually goes--right? I start to panic. My stomach is in knots. The crowd is small but it's enough to put pressure on me to do something I'm not comfortable with doing.
Adrian, on the other hand, is as cool as the sea breeze. "We should give them what they want, right?"
He leans in and I'm frozen solid. My body fizzles and pops as he leans forward and his lips lightly brush against mine. At first, I seize up. He... he's kissing me! What part of a platonic relationship allows actual kissing? I feel trapped and the discomfort is off the charts. This isn't what I signed up for. But then the buzz hits as my eyes flutter closed. His lips feel sensuous and soft and I know he's being tender with me. I can hear the rush of my blood and frantic pace of my heartbeat. The buzz hits a crescendo before it evens out, a warm tingling sensation of pleasure swirling all around me.
This... isn't so bad. It feels kind of good? It's definitely new.
There's a quiet urge to lean forward and press my lips against his. Explore this feeling a little bit longer. But I push it down. What the... where did that come from?
