A TEMPORARY MARRIAGE: PART THREE (AVALON BAY ROMANCE SERIES #3)

Avalon Bay is a quaint coastal town, a place where new romances can bloom at the most unexpected times. Well, all of that has changed. Now, love has a new challenge and it comes from a contract to marry—a marriage of convenience.

Meet Richard Gallagher. He’s handsome, successful, and a confirmed bachelor who is in a tough situation. His grandfather has stipulated that he must marry and that everyone must believe it is for love, or else he’ll lose it all. Who will go along with this madness? He’s shocked to learn that it’s his old childhood friend Cassie. Sure, she was nice, but would she even want to become his wife? He doubts it.

Cassie is a big city girl now, loving her career and life in New York. When she learns what someone has in store for her, she’s resistant—rightfully so—but then fate seems to make it so she has no choice but to say “yes” to a marriage of convenience. It is one year, she justifies. But she has no idea how much the year will change her life until she’s living it.

Take a journey with Richard and Cassie through this tumultuous year in their lives, where they try to remember that they have a “business arrangement,” but their hearts and emotions are trying to tell them otherwise. In the end, will love or pride rule the day? Can they walk away as friends or will they change the terms of their contract—making it so there is no expiration date?
