A new, sexy standalone novel from New York Times Bestsellers, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.” 

The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down.  

But I was in no rush.  

Until I met someone worth rushing for. 

Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House—a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals. 

Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude.  

In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person. 

Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast. 

Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number. 

Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested. 

I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering.  Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night.  

Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble.  

Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from.  

If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet.  

Rule number one for dating an older woman who insists you could never be together?  

Don’t fall in love.

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood & Connor Crais

A sizzling and swoony single dad, forbidden, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …

Captivated.

Addicted.

Mesmerized.

All the things I felt the minute I saw Addison Lark.
The last thing I’d expected was to fall in love at a strip club.
But Addison was the woman of my dreams.
It didn’t matter that I spent an obscene amount of money just to talk to her.
The fiery redhead made me feel things I’d never felt before.

But she didn’t want anything to do with me.
And she left without a backward glance.
Making me crave her even more.

Imagine my shock when we unexpectedly met again, presenting the most unexpected problem—Addison Lark was forbidden.

But did that stop me?
Did that stop us?

I’d made a promise to start living my life, and I wasn’t going to let that woman walk away for a second time.

Trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea.

BLURB

Weddings. I spend every working minute talking and writing about them, when just the thought of one makes me want to scream. After my fiancé abandoned me at the altar last year, my dream job at Bride magazine has turned into a reoccurring nightmare.

To add insult to injury, the bridezilla at my latest assignment, somehow roped me into filling in for a missing bridesmaid. Of course, I had to get paired with the most gorgeous groomsman. Wilder Hayes is perfect—except when he opens his mouth and we end up bickering all evening. That is, until the coat closet incident.

At least I’ll never have to see him again.  Or so I think… Until I walk into work on Monday and find out Wilder isn’t just a jerk, he’s also my boss’s son.  And I’ll be spending the rest of the season working with him at every single wedding I cover this year.

Can the jilted bride and the man who is afraid of love find a way to heal each other?

Synopsis:

She kept her heart guarded and locked away...until she gave it to the world's biggest movie star.

In the dazzling world of Hollywood where fame and glamour reign supreme, award-winning megastar Zachary Butler longs for something more than red carpet events and paparazzi flashes. As he navigates fame and tries to extricate himself from his celebrity ex-fiancée, he discovers an unexpected spark with Rowan Walsh, a production assistant on his latest project.

Rowan, haunted by a devastating moment in her past, shields her heart behind walls of guilt, letting no one in. But Zachary's genuine affection and desire for a meaningful life begin to chip away at her defenses. As their connection deepens, Rowan must battle the self-destructive patterns that have held her back from embracing her passions and finding true love, while Zachary must reveal his own hidden scars--wounds he's borne in silence for years--if he hopes to heal.

Can Zachary and Rowan confront their pasts to build a future together, or will the storms of scandal, tangled relationships, and the scrutiny of stardom ruin their hopes for a perfect Hollywood ending?
