Fake Wife: Crazy Love, Book 1

When library assistant Teagan Monroe is laid off from her job, catches her boyfriend cheating, and ends up homeless all in a matter of hours, she doesn’t think life could get any worse. Then she rear-ends the Mercedes of wealthy Corbin Lane, member of one of the richest families in Portland, Ore. Corbin’s had a pretty bad day himself, thanks to the clause in his grandmother’s will that states he must marry within six months (and stay married for at least two years) in order to keep the home he grew up in. When Corbin discovers Teagan’s dilemma, he thinks he’s found the perfect spouse, especially since she’s beautiful and, as he quickly learns, has a great personality. He promises her money in exchange for a temporary, sex-free marriage. Corbin’s life isn’t as happy as the press portrays it, and he finds a new confidant in Teagan, who’s nothing like the gold-digging socialites he usually dates. The loyalty and consideration they show for each other enhances their immediate, intense connection. Fun-loving secondary characters and great chemistry between the leads make this introduction to Lynn’s Crazy Love series a winning romance. (Jan.)
