her life back into her own hands. After her photographer duties are
done, she's going to stay in Mexico with her best friend Avery, find a
guy to have a fling with, get pregnant, and raise the baby as a single
mother.
On her flight, Shannon is dreading photographing the wedding of the
young and spoiled Corrie Harken to the handsome and wealthy Victor
Brooks. The mother of the bride is worse than any bridezilla, and
Shannon can't wait until the ceremony is over and she can get started
on her plan. The man sitting next to her on the flight is glued to his
phone, speaking so loudly she can hear every word. He's rude and
obnoxious, and Shannon thinks it's just her luck that this is how this trip
is starting.
When she gets to the hotel, Shannon finds everything in disarray - it's
raining so the bride is hysterical. At the rehearsal dinner, Shannon
chats with the best man, who is taking bets on how long this marriage
will actually last. When the groom finally arrives, Shannon is surprised
to see the obnoxious businessman who was on the plane next to her.
Things take an interesting turn when the bride runs off, and Victor
turns to Shannon for comfort...
Catherine Bybee never disappoints. FAKING FOREVER is a delicious delight. l loved the
Tulum locale. Shannon slowly but surely learns to trust her heart. Victor
is easy to fall in love with and the fourth book in the First Wives series sizzles!
Another winner for my favorite romance author, Ms. Bybee. Next,
please!
From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes a new First Wives novel about wanting a family…and finding love. Shannon Wentworth’s biological clock is ticking, and she isn’t going to let her single status keep her from having a baby. When her wedding-photography business takes her to Mexico, she has every intention of finding a willing baby daddy to help her out. Until the bride goes AWOL, leaving Shannon to coddle the arrogant fiancé who has accused her of sabotaging his wedding. Victor Brooks never could have imagined that he’d be on a honeymoon for one. Only here he is, taking a hard look at his life after the younger women he thought he loved walked out. The woman who volunteers to help him reflect is the last person he expects to be attracted to. Between the tequila, the sun, and one earth-shattering kiss, Victor finds Shannon a distraction too sexy to ignore. They strike a deal: wait three months, cool off, and see if their tropical beach attraction is worth taking up when they go back home. Unfortunately, that’s just enough time for the past to come calling. All their best-laid plans are at risk. So is the last thing Shannon expected to matter the most: her heart.
