Marry Me Twice: Rose Quartz, Book 1

A disillusioned would-be TV producer finds romance and a new career in Morris’s middling Rose Quartz contemporary series launch. Janie Adams is eager to produce her first episode of magazine television show Albuquerque Tonight, and she has the perfect idea for it: a piece on the tiny town of Rose Quartz, N.M., and the Valentine’s Day festival celebrating the “Love Stone” that was mined there. Janie, who longs to make historical documentaries, is fascinated by the local legend of lovers Isabella and Enrique, but her ratings-hungry boss wants more, and he thinks a Bachelor-style dating competition featuring sexy local quartz mine owner Mason Hart is the key to drawing more viewers. It will also help Mason, who stands to lose everything if he’s not married by his upcoming 30th birthday. Upset to learn that her boss intends to rig the contest, Janie proposes an alternate plan to Mason: she will marry him if he’ll give her seed money to start her own production company. But it will take more than sexual sparks and wedding vows to bond this couple. Despite a shaky plot and by-the-numbers romance, Morris delivers enough emotional heat to hold the story together.
