Just a Little Crush
by Erika Wilde
2024
Single dad Caleb Kane has sworn off relationship drama, but a custody battle pushes him to propose a fake engagement with Stevie Palmer, the server he once had a scorching one-night stand with. Their carefully negotiated arrangement quickly tangles up with real longing, jealous exes, and family expectations.
Series background & context
The Sterling Family Crossover line lets Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips take side characters from Carly’s long-running Sterling world and give them center stage in fresh, spicy stories. These books are contemporary romances that stand alone cleanly but feel even richer if you are familiar with the wider Sterling clan and their orbit of friends and business associates.
The series opens with Just a Little Crush, where real estate investor Caleb Kane discovers that the ideal fake fiancée for his custody battle might be the server he had an unforgettable one-night stand with. Stevie Palmer knows guys like Caleb belong in romance novels, not real life, but an offer that could change her financial future is hard to turn down. As they navigate exes, legal drama, and a pretend engagement that starts to feel awfully real, both have to decide whether they can risk their hearts on something that was never supposed to be more than a deal.
Just a Little Desire follows another Sterling-connected heroine who thinks she has learned her lesson about impulsive nights. After a rare one-night stand with charming Liam Powers, she expects never to see him again, only to have him walk into her office weeks later as the potential investor who could save her family’s struggling tech company. Working closely together rekindles their chemistry and reveals softer layers beneath Liam’s smooth exterior, but his secrets and a painful revelation about someone she loves force her to choose between self-protection and fighting for the man who is finally all in.
Future entries like Just a Little Tempted promise more crossings of paths between Sterling relatives and the people who upend their carefully organized lives. The shared DNA of the series is clear: fake relationships that turn real, complicated family loyalties, and heroes who have to earn their happily ever afters by proving they are worth trusting.
If you enjoy interconnected worlds but still want each book to deliver a complete love story, the Sterling Family Crossover novels offer exactly that mix, wrapped in the emotional warmth and high heat that are trademarks of both authors.
