About this ebook

It was supposed to be a casual affair...


Dr. Teresa Roe moved from the bustling city to small-town Pennsylvania, hoping the slower pace would help her focus on finding a partner and building a family. Unfortunately, life had other plans, and Teresa finds herself single in her mid-forties, unable to have the children she craves. Determined to focus on the positives, she builds her thriving therapy practice and joins a hook-up app looking for a fun, no-strings-attached affair.


Mark Lancaster has no time to date or cultivate a relationship, so meeting women on hook-up apps is perfect for his busy schedule. When he meets Teresa, he can't believe his fortune at finding someone so smart, sexy, and funny. In fact, his casual affair with her quickly becomes the highlight of his hectic life.


When Mark decides to run for County District Attorney, his opponent quickly reveals their relationship, spinning their affair as nefarious and creating a scandal that almost derails the campaign. Thankfully, Teresa agrees to enter into a fake engagement, saving him from ruin. But the road to victory isn't easy, and as they grow closer, the relationship they both swear is casual begins to grow into something real...


Can two fiercely independent souls find true love amidst scandal?


Welcome back to Ardor Creek! If you love fake relationship shenanigans that lead to true love, this book is for you! There are discussions of infertility and domestic abuse so please consider that before you read. Enjoy!

Wow, after having read the other 2 books in this series, this still exceeded my expectations. I was totally caught up in their story from the time and how they met, while they grow to discover how well they work together and until the end reveal their overwhelming feelings for one another. Intense, steamy and heartfelt, tearjerker. Love these characters and the Ardor Creek community. This is one of the best fake relationship books I've ever had the pleasure to read.

So we're back in Ardor Creek and this time it's Mark's story. He's a local lawyer who's happily single when he meets Teresa. We meet her in Scott's story, she's his therapist. They meet through an App for a casual relationship. But is that all it'll end up being? Mark files to campaign for the D.A post of the county. There's plenty of suspense, passion, friendship, family, love and so much more throughout! I love how the author approaches difficult topics with such compassion. Enjoy this passionate and emotional romance!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

When meeting on a hookup website. While looking at running for District Attorney or therapist practice. Why would you be surprised when the opposing party decides to out your opponent.
