Book Description
What would life be like with the one who got away? From the acclaimed author of My Husband’s Sweethearts comes this bighearted, funny, fiercely perceptive tale about a happily married woman and the little white lie that changed everything. For Gwen Merchant, love has always been doled out in little packets—from her father, who lost himself in work after her mother’s death, and from her husband, Peter, who’s always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull, invites himself back into Gwen’s life with a surprising proposition, she suddenly starts questioning everything she’s ever expected from love. Elliot, it turns out, is in need of a pretend wife, just for the weekend, in order to fulfill his dying mother’s last wish. But as Gwen finds herself drawn into Elliot’s quirky, wonderful family—and uncovers a few secrets about her own—a pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real thing she’s ever known. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Bridget Asher's The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted.

Book Description
Billionaire Daniel Trent needs a date for his best friend Grayson’s wedding, but he’s got a bit of a problem. His current closest relationship is with his house sitter, Jackie Stone, who he’s never actually met. Their flirty notes about his beloved tankful of exotic fish are the only fun part of his busy work-only life. When he comes home early after a business trip to find Jackie naked in his bathtub, Daniel is pleasantly surprised to find the woman he likes is absolutely adorable. Grayson, assuming Daniel and Jackie are a couple, suggests Daniel bring her to his wedding. Teasing Daniel over his commitment issues, he even bets that Daniel will end things before the wedding is over. After all, Daniel rarely gets past two dates with any woman. Daniel takes the bet, hoping that Jackie agrees to be his fake girlfriend. The worst thing that could happen is he’ll lose the bet. He certainly won’t lose his heart... Though Jackie agrees to go as Daniel’s wedding date, it turns out the man is the worst boyfriend. Ever. There’s no way they’ll convince anyone at the pre-wedding festivities that they’re a couple. And she really, really wants Daniel to win that bet because he promised to pay for her final year of graduate school if he does. If she wants any chance of that happening, she knows they’ll have to practice acting like a couple, which leads to…the kiss. And then more. Which is bad. The last thing Jackie wants is for this business arrangement to get complicated, and it’s definitely getting complicated. But it’s also getting harder and harder to remind herself that falling for Daniel would be a colossal mistake. A mistake her heart, unfortunately, seems more than willing to make…

Pages : 330
Book Description
When an engagement of convenience turns into something more, what path will they choose? Oliver Stuart Colborne, the Duke of Scarborough and a man of mixed heritage, needs a false engagement post haste. A parcel of unentailed land, held in his maternal grandmother's name and potentially harboring Roman ruins, can be his if he marries within two years of taking the title... and he has a month left. He wants that treasure if only to follow in his revered father's footsteps. The Honorable Marjorie Grace Fitzgerald, daughter of the deceased Viscount Highmore, has just been left at the marriage altar by her fiancé for scandalous reasons. Her reputation is in tatters, and the family name is running to rack and ruin from her younger brother's careless vices. After stumbling upon an advertisement in the paper by a duke looking for a duchess, she answers it hoping for rescue from the mess. If she can't have love, she wants respectability. As the weeks pass, Oliver and Marjorie enter into an unlikely friendship while deceiving the ton-and his solicitor. To all appearances, they are a couple with every intention of marrying, with no one the wiser to the farce, but when forced proximity sparks surprising desire and genuine emotions come into play, they'll both need to be honest in what they truly want from life and each other. As the deadline looms, they'll either lose everything they've worked toward or grasp something infinitely more valuable.

Book Description
One lion. One human. One important lie. Melinda I don't have much going for me until I see an ad in the local newspaper. Wanted: one bride. It seems like a total scam except for the fact that it'll get me out of Kansas. After dealing with my past, I'm more than happy to claim this Get Out of Kansas Free card. After spending a year in prison, staying married to a CEO for half of a year doesn't seem too bad, now does it? Yeah, some weird things seem to happen in Rawr County and the people there aren't exactly welcoming to outsiders, but it can't be all bad...can it? Basil I'll do whatever it takes to improve my image at the company. Apparently, my shareholders don't look too fondly on the fact that I've been something of a playboy in recent years. All that's about to change, though, because I'm getting married. The moment I see Melinda, I know that she's the one. My inner-lion knows, too. She's not just the woman I'm going to marry for the sake of improving my personal image. She's the one I'm going to marry because she's my fated mate. Only, Melinda doesn't know I'm a shifter, and she's got a few secrets of her own. When an enemy from her past resurfaces in Rawr County, we're going to have some hard decisions to make. We're going to have to fight for what we believe in, and we're going to have to fight for her safety. Luckily for Melinda, I love a good challenge.
