By night, she plays matchmaker for everyone but herself. When a grumpy out-of-towner shows up to sell the inn her sister’s dreamed of buying, Frankie’s ready to scare off the competition—literally. Chandler Collins doesn’t do feelings. Or small towns. Inheriting the inn was never part of his plan, and selling it should’ve been simple. But one by one, buyers keep backing out…until he realizes someone’s behind it. Frankie wouldn’t say her plan was a great one, but who wants to buy an inn that’s haunted? No one. When her master class in ghosting leaves her sister as the only buyer left, Frankie is sure the city slicker will take the offer and head back to his skyscrapers. But when Chandler calls her bluff and decides to stay at the inn himself, she matches him step for step. One week. One inn. One dare neither of them meant to lose. But under flickering candlelight, sparks fly, and Frankie’s about to learn what happens when you mix business, pleasure… and one very unexpected surprise. less

And one of those men is his best friend on his wedding day—even if the bride is the woman of Max’s dreams. Max will deliver the wedding day bouquet with a smile on his face and only his best wishes for the couple. A simple feat… if only the message in the card was one of everlasting love instead of instant betrayal. Daisy Turner has been knocked up, stood up, and the only person who can help her is the messenger. The last person she wants to lean on right now is her runaway groom’s best friend, but he’s her only shot. Not for a happily ever after, but for the next best thing: health insurance coverage. Max will do anything to help Daisy and her unborn baby… including marry her. And he’ll tell himself it’s the gentlemanly thing to do. But the way he wants her… that’s the opposite of gentlemanly. And to tell her how he’s always wanted her… well, only a scoundrel would do that. When the timer on their convenient marriage runs out, will it be the gentlemanly thing to do to keep his word and walk away? Or will Max confess that Daisy has always had his heart? Dive into The Gentleman—a small-town, marriage-of-convenience romance full of heart, heat, and second chances. Start reading now. less
