I’m the analyst who avoids bad investments. But pretending to be in love with the maid of honor might be the smartest—and riskiest—move I’ve ever made. I don’t do charming. I don’t do spontaneous. And I definitely don’t do destination weddings at quirky, sun-bleached resorts in the Florida Keys. I’m here for one reason. My best friend is getting married, and I’m his best man. My plan is simple—deliver my speech, dodge the forced fun, and catch the first flight back to Atlanta. Then there’s Brynn Vance. She’s the maid of honor with a problem of her own in the form of her aunt’s hand-picked suitor. She needs a fake boyfriend. I need a human shield. Our deal is temporary, efficient, and exactly what we both want. At least, that’s what I tell myself. Until Brynn’s sharp humor and restless spark get under my skin. Our kisses are supposed to be for show, but the heat between us feels anything but fake. I came here for a quick escape. Instead, I’m risking everything on the one woman who might convince me to stay. SUNSET CHARADE is a standalone novella and the perfect introduction to the Coleridge siblings and their sprawling family resort.
