Publisher Description
Workplace enemies become fake newlyweds in order to save their jobs in this sexy rom-com, perfect for fans of Tarah DeWitt and B.K. Borison.
“Tender, sexy, and funny.” —Library Journal
There are three things that PR strategist Jasmine Morgan knows for sure: One, she’s damn good at her job. Two, she’ll do whatever it takes to save her team from looming layoffs. And three, Derek Carter will always be her archnemesis—even if the man is ridiculously fine.
Unfortunately, she and Derek end up on competing projects in Miller’s Cove, a small town highly suspicious of corporate outsiders. To gain the trust of the locals, she’ll have to ditch her blazer and pose as a “honeymooning couple” with her mortal enemy.
Derek isn’t about to let Jasmine best him on the venture that will seal their fate during this company audit. But wherever he goes, she’s there—in his hotel suite, digging for the same research, and even stealing the loyalty of his dog (traitor). Worse, her tempting performance as his fiancée has him torn between killing her career or kissing her senseless.
But as the two get deeper into their charade, they discover little Miller’s Cove has a lot of big secrets. Secrets that could save their careers … but at what cost?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Work rivals feign newlywed bliss in this diverting rom-com from Eden (Love in Bloom). It's been 13 years since a rift between patriarchs ended the business relationship of the Morgan and Carter families, and scions Jasmine Morgan and Derek Carter still hold a grudge. Both now work in PR at MasonCorp and both are assigned to create a campaign for small town Miller's Cove, Fla., which MasonCorp hopes to develop into a tourist destination. Only the more successful of the two will keep their job. Upon arriving in Miller's Cove, Jasmine and Derek learn that the town is hostile to corporate outsiders and so don't correct the townsfolk's assumption that they are a honeymooning couple. As faking feelings leads to the real thing, the pair learn the history of the town, which was founded by three tight-knit families seeking to preserve the idyllic spot for future generations. The closer they grow both to each other and the locals, the more difficult the idea of turning in their assignments becomes. It's endearing to watch the leads' animosity change to love, even as misunderstandings between them give rise to plenty of romantic angst. Eden keeps the plot moving with both personal and professional drama, resulting in a fun romp that readers won't want to put down.
