The Consequences of Being Aiden
MARCH 6, 2017
“Why, out of all the hare-brained schemes that your brother has ever roped you into, would you try to pretend to be Aiden?”
When Ainsley’s older brother calls in a favor, she refuses at first. The next thing she knows, she is dressed up as and pretending to be her brother, Aiden, and tutoring his best friend. The only problem is that she doesn’t like Brendan and how he acts like a surrogate brother. She already has one overprotective brother; she doesn’t need another.
Brendan has a secret. He’s aware that Aiden has convinced Ainsley to tutor him. He’s aware that Zoe has been sabotaging Ainsley’s relationships. However, what he feels for Ainsley is far from the act he puts on around the Hastings Siblings.
What could possibly be the consequences of Aiden’s scheme? Is this Brendan’s chance to get Ainsley to see him as more than her brother’s best friend? Or could some of the people in their lives try to sabotage any potential relationship between them?
The Trouble with Chasing Aileen
2018
“Noah Grayson assumed you were me.”
“How does that even happen?”
In a series of mixed-up events, Aileen Hastings never expected to be mistaken for her younger sister, Ashlynn. When Noah reads her the riot act for the way ‘she’ treated his younger brother, Aileen automatically puts her guard up against him. As much as the in-control Aileen wants to dislike the impulsive and semi-charming Noah, she finds herself interested in him even as she attempts to pull away. She’s not certain how much more her already battered heart can take and it’s safer to keep Noah at a distance.
Noah finds himself intrigued by the prickly Aileen. The more time they spend together, the more he wants to know about her. Will she ever let down her wall and let Noah in, or will he give up and move on?
The Trouble with Chasing Aileen is the second book in the Hastings Siblings Series. It can be read alone, but some characters from the first book – The Consequences of Being Aiden – make some appearances.

The Issue with Dating Aiden
JULY 3, 2023
“You want to fake date me so you will have a date to your sister’s wedding?”
After a series of failed relationships, fifth-year college Senior Aiden Hastings has sworn off dating. He’s more than ready to finish college and try again after graduation. What he doesn’t expect was to meet Emily Bates during one of his summer classes.
When Aiden sits next to her during class, Emily recognizes him from several classes they shared, even though they sat on opposite sides of the room. What she didn’t expect was to quickly form a close friendship with him. With her focus mostly being on her school work, Emily never took the time to form many friendships or date; that was something that could wait until after her graduation. However, Aiden’s presence in her life is causing her to question her previous decisions.
When one of Aiden’s ex-girlfriends is asked to be a bridesmaid at his sister’s wedding, Aiden asks Emily if she would 1.) be his date to the wedding and 2.) pretend to date him to ‘make it look real.’ As they grow closer, the lines between pretending grow hazy, and Aiden and Emily have to decide whether to risk their friendship or their hearts.
The Issue with Dating Aiden is the fourth book in the Hastings Siblings Series, but it can be read alone. It is recommended, but not required, to read The Consequences of Being Aiden first.
