Genre: Romantic Novel – Contemporary Romance
Atmosphere: A sensual and humorous story with intense emotional conflicts and unexpected developments.
Having lost her job and her fiancé due to a misguided professional move, Natalie Vos tries to heal her wounds. A few months later, having sufficiently drowned her sorrow in cabernet, she is ready to stand on her feet again. She only needs her trust fund to finance her new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require her to marry before she can get her hands on the money. But her fiancé left her, remember? Natalie is so desperate that she proposes to a man who challenges her to kill him—and kiss him with the same intensity.
Augustus Keats may own a vineyard, but he has no idea about wine. However, he is determined to make his late best friend proud, and he will do his best for it.
Only the tasting room is empty, his wine is disgusting (seriously, he once saw someone throw up), and his friend's legacy is heading for the cliff. No bank will give him the loan he needs... and then a beautiful, dynamic woman knocks on his door. Natalie has haunted his dreams from the first moment, but their hot chemistry immediately turns into furious insults.
A marriage would help them both. A virtual marriage, a few weeks of cohabitation, and then they can go their separate ways—provided they manage to come out alive. How hard can it be? There is only one thing they haven't accounted for: their unfortunate, unbearable, undeniable attraction.
Tessa Bailey, #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with the stunning, standalone sequel to Secretly Yours.
