Forced Proximity

When circumstances force two people who can't stand each other to share the same space, sparks are bound to fly and tensions are destined to ignite. Whether trapped in a remote cabin during a storm, forced to work together on a high-stakes project, or bound by an arranged marriage neither wanted, these close-quarters stories explore what happens when there's nowhere left to run from undeniable attraction.

This site is a total game-changer. I've been flying through book summaries like never before. Highly, highly recommend.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
