What happens in Hawaii...
Divorce lawyer Hayley Hanna has one week to convince her bosses she’s not a “ruthless, man-hating shark.” And it’s not going to be easy. In a moment of insanity, Hayley agrees to bring her fiancé to the corporate retreat in Maui. But there’s one problem: she hasn’t got a fiancé.
Enter Chase Hartley—six feet of sexy, sculpted police muscle. Chase needs a date for his sister’s island wedding—someone to stop the family matchmakers. The chemistry between Hayley and Chase is just a bonus—one that quickly turns hot nights into sizzling sexcapades. All they have to do is resist believing their own lie. But just because their relationship is fake doesn’t mean that falling for each other won’t have real consequences!
It was supposed to be just a kiss...
Hayley’s mouth was warm, welcoming...her lips soft and hungry.
His body came alive as shock mixed with an unfamiliar sensation—longing? Chase broke away.
Her eyes widened and her hand flew to her lips. “What was that?”
He had no idea. It was supposed to be just a kiss to ease some of the sexual tension between them, but damned if it had only made things hotter. He swallowed hard. “I...uh...just thought we should get the first kiss out of the way before we’re forced to do it in front of an audience.”
But with one quick kiss, this noncomplicated plan had just gotten complicated. If a simple kiss had him this excited, he wasn’t sure how he was going to get through the next few days.
“Well, I hadn’t really given it much thought. I am now.” She paused. “Is this... I mean, is kissing me again—only if necessary, of course—going to be a problem?”
He tilted her chin upward. “Trust me, Hayley. Kissing you whenever the need arises will most definitely not be a problem.”
In fact, not kissing her might be.

I’ve wanted to write a series featuring weddings for such a long time and I’m so excited that this series found a home at Harlequin Blaze. This book was so much fun to write, mainly because my husband took me to Maui for “research purposes.” So many of the scenes in this story were inspired by that wonderful vacation, and the breathtaking island scenery provided the perfect backdrop for Hayley and Chase’s love story.
Of course my husband and I had a four-year-old with us on that trip, so Chase and Hayley’s adventures are considerably “hotter” than actual events. :)
Writing a fake-fiancé story had been on my wish list as I’d always found it an exciting idea. Two people falling in love when the only requirement of their arrangement is not to—perfect!
I hope you will love this story as much as I do.
Aloha!

For my mom, Annie O’Reilly. All I can say is, serenading cabbies, boob-guys in Latin Clubs and playing a “flu shots” in Vegas was still the wildest girls’ weekend I’ve ever had. “Drunk mom” is still the best mom.
