About this ebook

A sweet marriage of convenience romance between Lily and her best friend's older brother.

When falling in love isn’t part of the contract.

Techie Ethan Mattson may have married chef Lily Harper, but he didn’t vow to love her. His only commitment was to hand her half of his business assets and a year later file for divorce while saving a tidy sum on taxes. Little does Ethan know that the pretty woman from his past needs so much more than just a business.

She needs protection and love, the two things he believes he's too broken to offer.

Chef Lily Harper grew up tagging along after her best friend's brother, Ethan, who saved her from bullies, mud puddles and being an outsider. When Lily flees a nasty ex who won’t take a hint, she comes home to Blueberry Springs, striking a deal with her childhood protector, Ethan. If he marries her, she’ll take his restaurant off his hands, giving him more time to spend on his dream tech business. Not only that, but she’ll finally earn her way into owning a thriving restaurant.

It seems like an ideal agreement…until she begins to fall in love.

Will Lily be able to show Ethan how to love again or will their hidden histories ruin their recipe for love? Find out in this irresistible friends to lovers story from New York Times bestselling author Jean Oram.

Wow!! This book is one of my favorites!!! I have been wanting to read Ethans story since meeting him in the Blueberry Springs series. Both Ethan and Lilly have been hurt from previous relationships, causing self doubt and insecurities. Lilly wants so badly to be loved, but is scared of being taken for granted again. Ethan feels like his disabilities from his accident will make him a burden on anyone and although he has always loved Lilly does not think he is man enough for her. As said by the name of book.. they get married, but both are afraid to be truly honest with eachother so its a marriage of convenience... Follow these two as they fight their self doubts and truly find eachother.

A Pinch of Commitment is a wonderful, sweet romance. Ethan and Lily will grab your heartstrings and pull. Hard. They are a dynamite couple who have a firm foundation for their love to blossom, grow, and withstand the storms of life. They deserve an HEA after what they have each endured. Ethan was introduced in The Surprise Wedding as Devon's brother. If you loved Devon, you will love Ethan. They share the same core values and when they love, it is with their entire being. If you haven't read Devon's story, what are you waiting for? It is an awesome 5 star story. If you like stories that are well-written, with characters that are everyday people, and a top-notch story, look no further. A Pinch of Commitment is the book for you. Actually, all of Jean's books are awesome and I recommend reading everything this talented author writes.
