And nothing could have prepared her for the sight of her best friend—her sister’s ex—right there beside her. She has no idea how this happened, but the one thing she knows for sure is that no one from their nosy, close-knit hometown of Rose Bend can find out! Graphic

Our Review

A marketing executive wakes up in Vegas with more than just a hangover—she's sporting a new wedding ring and her sister's ex-husband as a surprise spouse. This steamy romance plunges straight into the chaos of a secret Vegas marriage between best friends, forcing the couple to navigate their unexpected vows while hiding the truth from their entire close-knit hometown. The premise delivers immediate high stakes and delicious tension, blending impulsive passion with the looming threat of small-town gossip and familial fallout. Readers are thrown into a whirlwind of forbidden attraction and complicated loyalties from the very first page.

What sets this story apart is its emotionally charged foundation of existing friendship, which adds genuine depth to the impulsive Vegas decision. The narrative expertly explores the messy collision of secret desires, sisterly bonds, and small-town dynamics, creating a compelling will-they-or-won't-they scenario that's as much about emotional risk as romantic chemistry. Adult readers who enjoy high-drama contemporary romance with complex relationships will find this an utterly absorbing escape, right up to the satisfyingly earned resolution.
