Duncan McAllister just found out he needs to marry before his 33rd birthday, which is only four weeks away. This shouldn’t be a problem for someone like him. There are women dying to marry the drop-dead gorgeous billionaire, but he only wants Charlotte. Friends since childhood, he trusts her. And secretly loves her. Charlotte can’t find a job. Her controlling father has blackballed her all over town with the hopes she’ll come home and beg him for help. She’s appalled by Duncan’s proposal but she’s about to lose her apartment. And she’s been crushing on him since she was 12 years old. But with everything riding against them can they still find a happily ever after? Of course, it’s a romance! This is a friends to lovers romance. It’s short (10k words) but it’s sweet and oh so steamy, no cheating and a guaranteed happily ever after! Enjoy!

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about two people who trip into love and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Happily Ever After. I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts. If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes. I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind—- and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her. I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable—-who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise. I write A LOT OF AGE GAP—because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it. No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN. Want a free Ebook?
