Ruined

2020

Before I’m forced to say “I do," I'm flying to paradise to live it up with whomever I want. Only I don't know that the person I find to spend the next two weeks with is my future husband. I’m a self-professed daddy's girl, but now my he’s gone and I’m left to run the company that's become my life, my passion. Until I get a visit from a lawyer with demands from a mysterious tycoon. The terms are clear: marry Jacobi Dixon or he'll spill all my dad’s dirty secrets, revealing a past that could tank the company. So, fine. I’ll marry him. I’ll protect my company. But before I say my vows I’ll run to Cabo San Lucas and get myself good and ruined first. I don’t know anything about my future husband, just like I don’t know how badly he wants what should've been his in the first place, and it's not just my company, it's me. What he ends up doing when I'm on vacation may ruin any chance between us.

Redeemed

2020

The guy I had a wild fling with in paradise and the man forcing me to marry him are one and the same. I found out on my wedding day. I came back from vacation to satisfy the terms of the contract: marry an enigmatic tycoon to save my company. Only when I arrive to say my vows I learn the man I lived it up with in Cabo San Lucas is my unforgiving, uncompromising new husband, and a liar. He’ll be the first to point out he never lied about a thing. Those were our terms in paradise—the less we knew about each other the better. And it bit me in my sand-covered bottom. Now, I’m like one of those princesses in a fairy tale, stuck in a Malibu mansion on the beach with a guy I thought I knew but who’s a complete stranger. Only the longer I’m around my own personal villain, the more I think the fun, supportive guy I met in Cabo is the real Jacobi Dixon. And as he uncovers a threat to me and everything I’ve worked for, he might just redeem himself and become my knight in shining armor. But while my new husband doesn’t lie to me, he still isn't telling me everything, and it could kill more than our budding relationship.
