Books like The proposal by Jasmine Guillory

When fiancé‑to‑be King Kyle leans on a Dodgers game stage to pop the question, freelance writer Nikole Paterson finds herself the unintended star of a viral, stadium‑wide spectacle that threatens to consume both her personal and professional life. Only five months into their romance, both the proposal and the fallout expose cracks that neither of them had anticipated, especially when the engagement ring falters and the universe pushes Nik toward a reunion with Carlos Ibarra, a charismatic doctor who had saved her from paparazzi. Amid the whirlwind of headlines and offline drama, Nik ends up pouring her energies into a passionate, no‑strings‑attached companionship with Carlos—only to discover that even a “hookup” can become complicated when the line between rebound and real possibility starts to blur. In a city of dreams, she must decide whether to embrace the chaotic love that comes her way or hold onto the future she envisioned before the bright lights took her by surprise.
