About this ebook

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the wedding!

From New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe comes a hilarious and smart romantic comedy featuring a high-stakes fake engagement between a sassy wedding planner committed to being single and her reclusive, widowed landlord whose shadowy cop past makes him the worst possible match for her.

Three-time runaway bride Piper Townsend believes in four things: her friends, her career, staying single, and fulfilling the promise she made to her mom before she passed away. But when a series of wedding mishaps turns Piper into the viral hashtag of #weddingkillerpiper, she must resurrect her reputation before she loses all she's fought for. The solution? A high-profile fake engagement to her grumpy, anti-social, deliciously hot landlord.

Declan Jones buried his heart three years ago, along with a secret that still haunts him. All he wants is his sledgehammer, his privacy, and his job back. Dating? Never. Romance? Forget it. His sassy, sparkly tenant? She's the one breath of sunshine in his life…not that he'd ever admit it.

When Piper proposes a fake engagement, it's the solution Declan needs. But can he fake-date Piper, kiss her senseless, "accidentally" get caught in bed with her, and still keep his heart locked down?

Of course he can. He's an ex-cop. He can handle the heat.

Or can he?

When Piper suggests a fake engagement, it seems the solution to both their problems. Sounds simple enough in theory. Piper and Declan are both dealing with personal issues that must be dealt with. In each other, guards are dropped, emotions develop, and secrets are shared. What ensues is an engaging, at times funny, emotional journey to happily ever after. The book is enriched with a cast of supporting characters worthy of their own stories.

What can I say about this book that others haven't. Fun, entertaining, fast paced, heart warming, complete. Piper and Declan are two souls lost to their pain and even though they live on the same property they don't SEE each other. Then one deal opens their eyes and life floods back in. This book has all the fuzzies and the banter is hilarious. I've been reading Stephanie Rowe's books for years and love all her genres. Can't wait for the next!
