Just Like a Dream

A small-town Dream Creator finds that working with her high school rival could be the recipe for a sweet dream—or a less-than-beautiful nightmare—in this charming contemporary romance from the author of Casket Case.

Olivia’s life is exactly how she wants it. She lives in the house she’s always loved, she’s close to her family, and her childhood best friend lives down the street. And to top it all off, she loves her job at the World Dream Center, where she designs and implements dreams.

As the invisible strings in the giant web that connects everyone, dreams subconsciously influence people to make decisions—move, change jobs, write a book—that move the plot of the world forward. 

Olivia is great at her job. Stellar, even. But when she’s assigned to create a dream for one of her friends, things start to unravel. Olivia has followed the Dream Playbook to the letter, suggesting that her friend date a certain coworker. But her friend isn’t taking the hint, and it’s holding up other Dream Workers who can’t move forward until this relationship causes its intended ripples.

Enter Connor, who’s an expert at handling difficult dreams with unorthodox methods—the same unorthodox methods that drove Olivia crazy when they went to high school together, making her less than enthused when he’s partnered with her to deliver results. Everyone thinks he’s a genius at his job, but to Olivia, he’s just another handsome face skating through life.

The more they work together, the more sparks fly between them. But the harder Olivia tries to change someone else’s course in life, the less sure she becomes of her own. With her job on the line, she has to work fast—and if she’s not careful, this assignment could turn into a nightmare.
