Part of Shacking Up
First published 2019
Cosy Felton has worked at a Las Vegas adult toy store long enough that nothing embarrasses her anymore. When Griffin Mills walks in clutching a list of bachelor party gag gifts, looking like he wants to disappear through the floor, she takes pity on him and walks him through every awkward item. Griffin is a New Yorker using a business trip to put some distance between himself and a life that has lately fallen apart. Shopping for novelty sex toys was not on his agenda, but the woman helping him is. Cosy has seen enough charming guys pass through her store to know better than to get attached. Griffin, though, is harder to dismiss than she expects. The two of them find a rhythm together, part banter and part something warmer. The problem is that Vegas flings have a way of following people home. When real life reasserts itself and the distance between New York and Nevada collapses, both of them have to decide whether what started in a novelty shop can survive outside of it. Helena Hunting delivers a standalone romantic comedy packed with cringe-worthy situations and genuine heat, set in the world she built in Shacking Up.
