Clara’s innocence tames Liam’s rough exterior, but only one can win. Will the stress of the competition tear them apart or sear them together? *While each book in the Forked series is a stand-alone novel featuring ONE couple, the books are connected by a shared storyline.

It was probably the sparkle in my eyes... moreAn accidental Vegas wedding, an unfortunate arranged wedding, and Christmas. What could be more festive?
