Accidental poisonings. Unexpected tidal waves. Jealous stepsisters. Brides caught cheating in the coatroom at the reception. Just a typical day at work, when you’re a wedding protector. And Nessa Martini, the newest and youngest member on staff, is doing her best to fix it all. Starting with her own chaotic life. A one-night stand with a hot bodybuilding social media influencer who turns out to be a minister is not Nessa’s idea of personal growth, no matter how much she enjoyed it. She’s trying so hard to be mature, grounded, responsible, and to get ahead in her career working for Wedding Protectors, Inc., where they guarantee your perfect day – whatever it takes. But when she ghosts on Mr. Perfect after one night of pleasure and he turns out not only to be the TikTok sensation known as “God’s Gift,” but is also the minister at the wedding she’s assigned to for work, all of Nessa’s careful plans go out the window. She can’t date a man of the cloth. Or can she? Matt Draper knows he’s a study in contrasts. A bodybuilder who makes sweaty, shirtless weightlifting videos for millions of followers – and a minister? He didn’t pick the nickname “God’s Gift,” but he’s stuck with it now. And he’s stuck on gorgeous Instagram influencer Nessa, too. It may have been only one night, but it was a phenomenal night, and Matt wants more. Way more. When coincidence works in his favor and they meet at a wedding rehearsal, he takes his chance. She’s slow to warm, and so mysterious, yet social media perfect. Too perfect. For a guy who is all about depth and connection, can he break through her surface and find more? Welcome to the Whatever It Takes series, where every book is a complete HEA and a standalone within the same world, with one couple per book: Every bride needs something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue - But you know what brides don't need? Complications. Welcome to Wedding Protectors, Inc. Have a spritzer or a latte or some lovely Zen tea and sink into a comfortable chair in our sunlit offices as we listen to your wedding problem – and form the perfect solution to every possible contingency. We plan for everything. Except our own love lives. But that's not your problem. ;)

Sign up for my newsletter at: https://jkentauthor.com/newsletter/ New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 5 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future. From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire in a rom com). She also writes romantic suspense as Meli Raine, sexy shifter romances as DJ Jennings, billionaire shifters as half of the author team Diana Seere, and co-authors with Elisa Reed. She lives in New England with her husband and three children in a household where she is the only person with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls. She loves to hear from her readers by: Email at jkentauthor@gmail.com Twitter @jkentauthor Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jkentauthor Instagram @jkentauthor Visit her at http://jkentauthor.com FORTHCOMING: Love You Again (Love You, Maine, #2), July 19, 2022 Ten First Kisses (anthology with my story, Shopping for a Booty Call), August 12, 2022 Love You More (Love You, Maine, #3), October 11, 2022 Love You Now (Love You, Maine, #4), January 3, 2023 Author photo credit: Felix Rust http://www.felixrust.com
