My blunder puts the local pastor at risk of losing his job. The least I can do is help clean up the mess . . . by marrying him. Ava Still single at 50, I’m in shock that a dropped batch of lemon bars leads to a marriage proposal. Which is great and all except for the fact that it’s for show. Mad Dog needs me to marry him to suppress a scandal. Maybe now I can figure out how he got that nickname. My life won’t change much. He’ll live in my guest room, and I’ll feed him delicious food and yummy desserts. And maybe do his laundry. Mad Dog After months of trying to work up the nerve to ask out Ava and never actually doing it, a scandal creates an opportunity. But marriage is a big step. She’s happy to marry me, but I’ll have to earn her trust. Will wooing my wife from the guest room even work?
