A steamy, fake-dating & secretly married slow burn, small town romance.
Life’s about to get very complicated…
Which is the last thing Jessica Sonoto needs. She’s already juggling several part-time jobs, an ex-husband who still insists on wearing his wedding ring and trying to give her son the childhood she never had. When Jessica learns about a sizeable inheritance coming her way, it feels like fresh start she’s been desperate for. There’s just one catch: she’s got to be married to claim it.
Teddy James used to be able to charm his way out of any situation, but lately the consequences of his playboy ways have been showing up at the worst times. Couple that with the emptiness that’s plagued him for the last few months and Teddy doesn’t recognise himself anymore. When a career opportunity prompts questions about what settling down really looks like for Teddy, he panics and blurts that he’s seeing someone. Only… he isn’t.
At least, not until Teddy and Jessica realise they might be able to help each other. Could a secret marriage masquerading as a fake relationship be the answer to all their problems? Or is this the real, new beginning they’ve both been waiting for?
