"Some love stories start after I do, and mine is certainly one of them.
Vienna
I'm a damsel in distress without health insurance and an upcoming surgery.
Zane is my billionaire knight in a three-piece suit, an affectionate smile, and a stuttering voice.
When I run out of all options, he proposes a gentleman's offer, generous and beautiful, exactly like him.
We get into a marriage of convenience until my life is back to normal. Simple.
But nothing is simple in my grand wedding and designer wedding dress.
Ours is possibly the only fake wedding where every custom is followed to the word—including consummating the marriage.
Zane is a husband plucked out of my dreams, determined to support me in sickness and in health.
And it's easy to forget that our marriage has a ticking clock.
Zane
Vienna comes into my life by accident—literally and figuratively.
When I'm taking her to the hospital, I have no idea she'll someday be sleeping in my bed and demanding sex on our wedding night.
She's the yin to my yang. The noise to my silence. The light to my darkness.
But she's temporary.
I could never tie her to me... permanently.
The guilt of doing that to her would be bigger than any guilt I have. And I have many.
'I c-cannot effing do th-that to her.'"
"I fall in love with my husband and that's one thing he didn't promise me in our marriage vows.
A sinfully rich and wickedly hot businessman like Zach Teager has no business in my bland, rickety world. Yet, he barges in like a storm, leaving everyone mesmerized by his charms.
Every evening I find him at my doorstep in the pretense of a silly promise he's made to my son. And let's not talk about my boy, Ray who believes Zach is some sort of a Prince and maybe he is. But not of my story.
Until events lead me to accept Zach's insane proposal of a contract marriage. He promises me everything. Care for my mom. A better future for my son. A loving group of family and friends. Except one thing. Love.
And that's okay.
I have full faith that I can never fall for someone as spontaneous and impulsive as him.
Yet, I do. Another stupid mistake to add to my long-running list.
I fall for his stupid jokes, his crazy habits, and most of all for him.
This book is told from dual POVs and can be enjoyed as a standalone."
"We weren't just opposites. We were at extreme ends, living completely different lives.
While our CEO dressed in suits, mesmerizes everyone with his charm, I'm the quirky, geeky data scientist with precise breakfast habits, baggy flannel shirts, and red canvas shoes. Yet, he thinks we're good together.
He offers me his friendship and shows me a life I am too scared to see.
But we don't stop there.
He shows me love… the sweet kind and the sexy one too.
My heart skitters at his attention, concern, and care for me and my quirks.
But all my life I've trained myself not to trust anyone.
How can I believe, that he'll stay when no one else ever did?
Beautiful Rose can be listened to as a standalone."
