Evie: I thought I’d cheated fate. I was a fool to believe I’d escape my parents’ unreasonable expectations. I was wrong.

In two days, I marry Sterling Gallagher—a vile, sadistic bully incapable of pity. With him by my side, I’ll have a long and miserable life devoid of love. I’ll never know passion. I’ll never know happiness. My life is over.

Before I surrender—before I let him trap me in his gilded cage—I’ll take one solitary taste of love.

I’ll make one memory not even Sterling can steal. I’ll give my innocence to the man who owns my heart.

One night with Deacon Gallagher will have to last me a lifetime.

Deacon: I’ve watched Eve Walsh for years. I convinced myself I was doing it for my nephew, Sterling—keeping an eye on his future wife. But nothing could be further from the truth.

When she comes to me, I can’t walk away.

She offers her innocence and I devour her like a glutton.

If she thinks I’ll hand her over to a brute like Sterling, she’s out of her mind.

One taste is all I need. A lifetime with Eve will never be enough

Hopeless Romantics Book 3

An Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity Romance -Arrives in May!

𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚:
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥?

The first time I heard those words, they rolled right off my back. After the tenth, I let it sink under my skin. After the fortieth, I caved and let my mother and Aunt Loretta fix me up with a man they deemed perfect.

We both studied law. We both live in Soho. And to top it off, our grandmothers were born in the same village.

It was a match made in heaven.

𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭.

Dante Fratini is the most arrogant, conceited, insufferable, ill-mannered grouch I’ve ever met. If I never see his face again, it will be too soon.

Except I see his face all the time. He’s a freaking judge and he swears our love was written in the stars.

𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵? The man is clearly insane.

𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞:

Andrea Renaldi is one glorious pain in the ass. But when you know you know, and I know that sassy little minx is destined to be the one and only Mrs. Dante Fratini.

Our spark is undeniable. It smolders every time she’s near and I won’t let a little rejection dampen this flame. The more I chase, the more she runs.

Patience is a virtue of the strong. I’ll counter every objection. I’ll soothe every fear. I’ll make sure my woman knows there’s only one man for her. And when help comes in shape of divine intervention, I won’t let the opportunity slip through my fingers.

𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴.

If only she’d sit still long enough to hear the 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 I long to say.
