About This Book
Chase MacKenzie has one ironclad rule—no strings, no exceptions—and Maura Jenkins has no intention of breaking it. She doesn't even particularly like the man. He's arrogant, relentlessly sure of himself, and entirely too aware of the effect that grin has on people. But attraction has a way of overruling good judgment, and what starts as mutual irritation quietly becomes something harder to dismiss. Set within Kristen Proby's beloved Fusion world, this novella captures the specific tension of two people who know exactly why they shouldn't want each other—and can't quite make themselves stop.
At just over a hundred pages, No Reservations earns every one of them. Proby writes romantic banter with a light, confident touch that never tips into farce, and her pacing keeps the story moving without sacrificing the emotional beats that make the push-and-pull feel genuine. As a standalone entry point to the Fusion series, it offers enough warmth and context to feel complete on its own, while longtime readers will enjoy returning to familiar surroundings. Short doesn't mean slight—this one leaves a genuine impression.
