I’m a carpe diem, live-in-the-moment, kind of woman. But waking up in Vegas with a rock on my finger and a gorgeous man in my bed? Well, now I’m redefining what it means to roll the dice… Especially because my new husband is Tennessee Thunderbolts center, Leif Bang. Yes, he has electric blue eyes that pierce me to my core. For sure, I’ve never seen forearms quite like his. And—another point for him—he makes me fold over with laughter. But he’s also the man my mother was scheming to set me up with once I settled in Knoxville for my new job. Determined to start my new life on my own terms, the last thing I need—or want—is a wickedly charming husband who’s never had a serious girlfriend, much less an impulsive wife. It’s fine because I’m all about those annulment papers. Except, our moms are old friends, I’m new in town, and Leif is nothing like I expected. Especially when he asks me to fake this marriage a little while longer. Now, I’m forced to embrace my life’s motto and leave things up to chance… Even if I’m gambling with my heart.
