About the book...
The seventh and final tale in the dazzling, heartwarming, and pulse-racing Weekday Brides series.
Gabriella Masini: She’s a woman haunted by her past, with the scars to prove it. She believes that fairy tales are for other people. An elite matchmaker at Alliance, she’s great at crunching numbers, but something doesn’t add up with her latest prospective client: a billionaire bad boy with his own secrets. When Gabi refuses to be his temporary wife, Hunter forces her hand with an offer she can’t refuse. But marriage to a man like that could never last…or could it?
Hunter Blackwell: Only his bank account is bigger than his ruthless ability to obtain anything he wants. These days, he has a secret reason to settle down, at least for a while—and he thinks the sensual and sassy Gabi will fit the bill perfectly. But when their marriage of convenience becomes downright dangerous, Hunter must decide how far to take his vow to honor and protect Gabi forever.

Ooh...
Sounds like BOTH parties have something to hide! But why? Whose secret is more threatening? What's with the life or death nature of the secret? Are lives literally in danger or just their reputations? Curious minds want to know!
On the other hand...
...I am rather in love with that cover; though it seems rather at odds with the tranquility and nervous butterflies it represents in my own mind (with a glimpse of what one can only assume is a gorgeous dress!), when sitting side by side with the synopsis. Curious indeed.
Well, one thing is for certain, it sounds like a great read in the making. Will it be on your wish list? Do tell! If you need a little more convincing though, we've got you covered. Time to take a little peek between the pages...

“I think we should talk
about what’s going on here.”
She swallowed. “We’re
cooking.”
“Gabi, look at me.”
She shook her head,
taking the coward’s way out. If she noticed the lock of hair falling into his
eyes a second time, she might have to push it back in place.
“Gabriella?” The smooth
texture of his voice was like chocolate on her tongue.
His sticky hand tucked
under her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.
He stepped closer, his
frame molding to hers and pressing her back against the counter.
She couldn’t breathe.
His thumb traced her
bottom lip. “This is a bad idea,” he mumbled her thoughts.
She nodded. “Very poor
choice.” Her hands gripped the side of the counter to keep from touching him.
Hunter sucked in a deep
breath. “You smell like flowers.”
“I’ll change my
shampoo.”
He started to dip his
head and she kept talking. “Something musky, so you won’t notice me.”
“I don’t think that’s
going to work.”
He was close enough to
catch the scent of mint on his breath. “I don’t even like you.” One of her legs
lifted and rubbed against one of his.
“I don’t trust you.”
His hand moved from her lip the side of her neck.
“You blackmailed me.”
“You tricked me into
cooking with your mother.”
She smiled. “The two
hardly compare.”
Instead of dropping his
lips to hers, he detoured to the side of her neck and kept talking, his breath
brushing her skin. “Have you met your mother?”
“That’s sill—”
His lips found her
neck.
She moaned and closed
her eyes. Such a deliciously bad idea.

Loving the cover, those flowers are beautiful, but I'm afraid that's as far as it goes with me as this book simply doesn't appeal. Still each to their own, I'm sure my sister-in-law would love it.
