Accidental Protector

Accidentally hitched. Cue the sweet insanity.

Waking up next to the world's hottest stranger is my first red flag. The huge rock on my finger? Hint number two I'm head-over-heels in trouble. I'm hair-on-fire freaked by the marriage certificate. Then I sit down with Noah Bernard, my mysterious new "husband."

He talks a good game. Easy, when he'd put Hercules to shame. Olympian abs. Defiant growl. Come-to-mama eyes. Mammoth freaking ego. I almost wish I remembered our honeymoon. But I need answers. Not more secrets.

I came to Reno to reinvent myself. What's a pretend wife to do with a tight-lipped temporary bad-ass? Sweet revenge, for one. Like the day my two-timing ex hears I've landed Mr. Perfect.

Hello, unintended consequences. After Noah finds out, there's no hiding the truth. I know why there's this darkness in his eyes. I learn how bad my lips can ache for one more kiss. I see him face down hell itself. Protecting me. I keep asking the inevitable: what if the divorce papers can't undo love?

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author Nicole Snow - a marriage mistake rocks two battered hearts home. Snarly alpha hero, full of secrets, eager to protect his little firecracker. Full-length romance novel with a jaw-dropping happily-ever-after.
