‘The yearning was one for the record books’ SARRA MANNING

‘A world of small-town charm and irresistible romance’ LIZ TOMFORDE

‘The ideal balance of sweet and sexy’ MARIAN KEYES

From the author of Under Your Spell comes a funny, cosy small-town romance about an accidental Vegas marriage, two people forced to fake a relationship and a town determined to play matchmaker. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Adams and Lynn Painter.

What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas . . .

Waking up in a Las Vegas hotel room with her brother’s best friend, and no memory of how she got there, isn’t exactly rule-follower Ophelia ‘Lee’ Turner-Jones’ finest moment. She’s done her best to forget it ever happened . . . until a year later, when a surprise email arrives from a wedding chapel. Now Lee needs to track down her lifelong crush . . . and tell him that they're married.

Adrenaline-seeking Nico has never stayed in one place for long, so Lee is stunned to find him settled in a small town full of loveable eccentrics in Maine. And that’s not the only surprise: it turns out Nico is in desperate need of a wife. Lee could be the answer to all his problems – if he can keep his hands off her.

Pretending to be happily married to the man she's secretly in love with while the whole town throws themselves into the charade, might end in disaster. Still, Lee can't help but wonder if this fake marriage could finally be the start of something real.
