Better Off Wed: A Small Town Romance (Marswood Harbor Book 1)
When a marriage to a complete stranger suddenly looks like the best option available, you know life has taken an unexpected turn.
My bridal boutique in Manhattan is hanging by a thread. Bills are piling up, business is struggling, and my future looks increasingly uncertain. Meanwhile, my parents—professional wedding singers with absolutely no concept of subtlety—never miss an opportunity to remind me about my failed relationships, usually in front of an audience.
With nowhere else to turn, I agree to a marriage arrangement that sounds completely ridiculous on paper: move to a small town in coastal Maine, marry a man I’ve never met, and spend six weeks deciding whether the arrangement should become permanent.
Simple enough.
Until I meet Gideon Mars.
Tall, intimidating, and carrying enough emotional baggage to sink a fishing boat, Gideon greets me at the altar with the expression of a man who would rather be anywhere else. His cold attitude makes it clear he has no interest in making this arrangement easy. If anything, he seems determined to drive me away before we’ve even exchanged vows.
Unfortunately for him, giving up isn’t my style.
So I say yes.
What follows is six weeks of forced proximity, awkward cohabitation, and growing complications in a town where not everyone is happy about my arrival. As tensions rise and mysterious threats begin appearing, it becomes clear that someone wants me out of Marswood Harbor for good.
The surprising part? Gideon stops trying to push me away.
Instead, the man who once seemed desperate to be rid of me suddenly becomes fiercely protective. And as danger closes in, I discover that my reluctant husband may be the one person standing between me and serious trouble.
A witty, heartwarming romance filled with sharp banter, small-town charm, forced proximity, and unexpected sparks, this story proves that sometimes the last thing you expect can become exactly what you need.
