BLURB
My biggest mistake was falling in love with my fake husband.
It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience between two best friends in the military. Our plan was to collect extra money and stay stationed together.
But what failed? Me. I did. Because suddenly I wanted a man who was never meant to be my real husband.
In an attempt to remedy my mistake, I severed all ties and put my life as a combat medic and Emmett Maxwell behind me. I’ve lost too many people to open myself up to love.
Now I’m working as a private investigator, and fate has stepped in, forcing our paths to intersect again when I’m looking into the disappearance of a missing girl with ties to Emmett’s hometown. A case I fear puts his life in danger.
He gives me one week to prove my suspicions and then I need to sign the divorce papers and leave. The problem with that? The moment I see Emmett again, I realize how foolish it was to leave him, to think I could ever stop loving him. All I want is a second chance.
When the case threatens not only my life but also his, I’m faced with my worst fear. How many times can a heart break before it shatters beyond repair?
I know who you are when you don’t know yourself. You and I, though, we’re worth fighting for.
ARC REVIEW
The suspense, the chemistry, the emotion. I loved everything about this story.
Emmett and Blakely have a history together. They were in the military together, they were best friends, but they are also husband and wife. They just haven’t seen each other for years, but now their paths cross again. I love Emmett and Blakely. I loved their history together, I loved seeing them reconnect with each other. Though, it wasn’t also easy for the two of them.
Blakely is pretty much a BA. I love her. She was a combat medic, which is where her and Emmett met, and now she is a PI and really she proved time and time again that she can really handle things herself. I may have a slight girl crush on her. Emmett, he is just easy to love. The man is protective and when he loves he loves, even if it may be something that hurts him.
This story is a rollercoaster from start to finish with your emotions. There were times I was questioning on if Emmett and Blakely would ever get the HEA they both deserve. There is a lot of baggage that they need to work through and at one point I was yelling in my head with the turn the story took….there were a lot of not so nice things being said and my heart was absolutely broken. IYKYK.
If you’re looking for a small town, suspense, second chance, marriage of convenience romance this is one to check out.
