From Jody Kaye, bestselling author and the creator of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, comes Bleeding Heart: a slow burn, enemies to lovers, opposites attract romance. When a small town darling runs out on her wedding, a chance encounter with a broody former musician leads to a fake relationship with some sizzling and not-so-fake chemistry...

Jake

A runaway bride walks into a bar.

No kidding... But I'm pretty sure my friends are trying to pull a fast one on me when Paisley Cooper bursts into Sweet Caroline's, searching for a place to hide.

Now the local socialite, whose boutique has been right under my nose, is in my sights. And I'm no bleeding heart. So, I con Paisley into posing as my girlfriend by threatening her business.

At first, nobody believes our relationship is real. I mean, why would Paisley abandon her doctor groom at the altar for an irritable strip club owner?

However mismatched, Paisley's infuriating ability to stand up to me somehow convinces everyone we're perfect for each other. Whenever we kiss, even I can't help thinking the same thing, too. Although it's not like falling in love makes any difference when I already know forever isn't guaranteed.

Paisley & Jake's love story is perfect for readers who love contemporary romances filled with drama, twists and turns, fiercely independent heroines, and possessive alphas! A slow burn, enemies to lovers, bad boy falls for the good girl, opposites attract romance complete with humour and sexy banter, Bleeding Heart is a full-length book in the small town North Carolina, Shattered Hearts of Carolina Series and has a guaranteed happily ever after.
