Home is where the heart isβ¦ In Lily Everett's Home at Last, Marcus Beckett left Sanctuary Island after his motherβs funeral, and he hasnβt been back since. Until now. Needing a change from the high-risk, high-stakes life of a bodyguard, Marcus makes a solitary life for himself running the neighborhood bar in his hometown. His only mistake? Seducing and then dumping the townβs sweetheart, Quinn Harper. Marcus knows he did the right thingβa good girl like Quinn has no business with a broken man like him. But now no one will come to his bar, and heβs watching his last chance at a peaceful life go up in smoke. So when Quinn proposes a fake four-week courtship, he canβt refuseβ¦even though he knows itβs a bad idea. Itβs a romantic charade that will buy Quinn time to distract her mother and father from their own marital problemsβand will help Marcus welcome back some paying customers besides. But what begins as an engagement of convenience slowly transforms into a deeper connection, one that heals both of their hearts. . .and ignites the simmering passion between them. Could it be that pretending to be together is just what Quinn and Marcus needed to give their real love a second chance?
