The Danger With Fireworks by Robin Daniels

Garland’s love life took a rocky ride when his roommate started dating the girl he liked. It was inevitable, really. Somehow he always makes friends with “that guy”–the one who can get any girl he wants. It sucks, always feeling like the third wheel. So, when he’s offered a position as a summer camp counselor, he jumps at the opportunity. It’s the perfect chance to escape…in a place where he’s not tied to best-friendship with a chick magnet.

However, from the moment he arrives, Garland realizes that the grass won’t be any greener. He meets Chloe, a beautiful, energetic co-worker and they hit it off right away. Naturally, her ex–who’s desperate to win her back–happens to be “that guy”. Except this time it’s different because there’s nothing likable about Chloe’s ex. And since there’s no rule saying Garland has to be best buds with the resident lady bait, he decides it’s time to challenge the status quo. For once, he’s going to get the girl.

NOTE: This story can be read as a standalone, but it’s better if the series is read in order.
