Ready to Play … #RomCom #AgeGap #FakeMarriage

NMTBM Banner

Description

There's no way the hot relative of a minor British royal is hitting on her. She's misreading everything, right?

Except there's no mistaking that proposal.

When 50something Ranney Martini (yes, Nessa’s mom!) finds herself being courted by the very English best man in a minor royal’s wedding she’s managing, she can’t help but laugh. He’s 17 years her junior, smoking hot, and an award-winning architect. The flirting is all in her imagination.

Of course it is.

But when a strange twist of fate leaves them trapped in Las Vegas, and Tom has a sudden need for American citizenship - faster than fast - Ranney proves she’s the consummate professional.

Because when you’re a wedding protector, you do whatever it takes to make the perfect wedding.

Even marrying the very handsome best man.

NMTBM Teaser

Excerpt

Between the flickering fireplace and the view beyond the windows, they were surrounded by glittering lights. Tom returned from his shower, wavy dark hair wet and gorgeously mussed, his bathrobe tightly cinched at the waist, yet - it was clear.

He was, well... ready to play.

He took one side of the sofa and she curled into the other, tucking her legs underneath her and tugging the hem of the shirt down as far as possible. For good measure, she pulled a toss pillow onto her lap. After her bath, she’d decided against wearing the thick white robe because it had seemed so undressed, but maybe it would have been a better choice.

Especially given Tom's decision.

Usually the serious conversations happen a little further on,” he said with a rueful little smile. “But we’ve done everything out of order so far, why should this be any different?”

I think I’ve already said my piece. I have been having a wonderful time with you for two days now, but it’s been a 48-hour adrenaline rush. That’s not real life. And okay, through some weird set of circumstances, we happen to be married, but that’s not real life, either.”

All she got in answer was a head tilt, complete with a small smile that widened as he studied her.

In the other room, her phone began to ring–Nessa’s ringtone, which she had set as a bypass so that even when the phone was silenced, her daughter’s calls rang through. In typical mom fashion, no matter that her child was an adult, she reacted as if it were a tornado alert.

I have to get that! Excuse me.” Also like a tornado alert, she wasn’t sure whether she should be running out into it or taking cover.

She ran, but by the time she spotted her phone on the marble counter and picked it up, the call was gone. Holding it in her hand, she pondered calling back.

Who was she becoming? Of course she should call back. It could be Kari or -- oh. It was Nessa.

Regardless, the mere idea that she wouldn't be available at any given time for work or her daughter was becoming tantalizingly... delicious? Choosing Tom over work was so easy. Too easy.

Yet it felt so right.

For so many years, Ranney's life revolved around Nessa, work, and Mame. What if there was more?

And Tom was offering that more to her right this very moment.
