Small towns have long memories…and falling for your new boss isn’t exactly something that can be kept quiet.

Noah Whitaker is focused on two things: running his family’s inn and avoiding dating at all costs. A workaholic determined to make his town proud, he barely has time to manage Whitaker Inn, let alone look after his three younger brothers. But when a stunning mystery woman from the bar turns out to be his new hire, keeping things professional suddenly becomes a lot harder.

Bailey Collins came to Bexley Grove looking for a fresh start. A self-proclaimed people pleaser desperate to prove herself in the event planning industry, she’s quickly swept up in the chaos of nosy townsfolk and a boss she definitely shouldn’t be daydreaming about.

Their bar hookup was supposed to be a one-night thing. Instead, it turns out to be the start of something neither of them can ignore. But in a town where everyone is watching, will they risk everything for a chance at something real?

Perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls, Professionally Yours is a swoony found-family romance filled with small-town charm, quick-witted banter, and a love that refuses to stay strictly professional.
