Only A Crush (Paperback)

The second book in Delancey Stewart’s Kasper Ridge series, bringing together a heartwarming blend of forced proximity, single-dad emotion with humor, and romantic tension. 

The story follows Annalee "Monroe," a former Navy pilot who has found solace working as the event planner at Kasper Ridge Resort, owned by her close friends. Monroe is fiercely independent and avoids relationships that might tie her down. However, her carefully controlled world is shaken when she is paired with Mateo, a brooding single dad working as a contractor at the resort.

Mateo, still grieving the loss of his wife, has dedicated his life to raising his daughter, Lily. He isn’t looking for love, especially not with someone as unpredictable and adventurous as Monroe. But when a routine assignment to check out the resort's remote cabins turns into an unexpected overnight stay due to a snowstorm, the two are forced to confront their growing attraction.

Stranded together in a secluded cabin, the chemistry between Monroe and Mateo becomes impossible to ignore. As they navigate their undeniable connection and the emotional walls they’ve built, both must decide if they’re willing to take a chance on love despite their pasts and fears.

Set against the stunning backdrop of a snowy Colorado resort and filled with Stewart’s signature humor and warmth, Only a Crush is a touching story about love, loss, and the courage to embrace the unexpected. This installment not only deepens the mystery surrounding Kasper Ridge but also explores the powerful bonds that can form when two hearts find their way to each other.
