Barrow Bros. Brides Series by Suzanne D. Williams

He didn’t kiss her, and she didn’t force him to, but the desire was there for both of them. It had nothing to do with Walton, her failed wedding, or even being cooped up together in the hotel room. It was watching him sail and admiring him as a man. It was crying on his shoulder because she felt flawed. It was the hunger in his eye, knowing he’d seen her in her underthings, and though he’d done the right thing, he wouldn’t forget it. ----- Brielle Hensley had her future all planned out... moreHe didn’t kiss her, and she didn’t force him to, but the desire was there for both of them. It had nothing to do with Walton, her failed wedding, or even being cooped up together in the hotel room. It was watching him sail and admiring him as a man. It was crying on his shoulder because she felt flawed. It was the hunger in his eye, knowing he’d seen her in her underthings, and though he’d done the right thing, he wouldn’t forget it. ----- Brielle Hensley had her future all planned out. She’d designed the perfect wedding, picked the most beautiful dress. From the reception to the start of her married life, she knew what came next. Standing at the altar, however, her groom nowhere in sight, all those plans crumbled around her. She should have known better. The last thing her fiancé would ever do was embrace commitment. Bradford Barrow wanted to kill his younger brother for running out on his bride. He’s not really that surprised, though. Being a husband, taking on the responsibility of having a wife, was far more something he’d do himself. He’d always been the dutiful son, the faithful employer. His entire life is about doing what’s expected of him and checking off the tasks on his ever-present lists. Yet, sent to make a formal apology the next day, he and Brielle make a rash decision – to go on her honeymoon together. She needs to shake off his brother’s betrayal, and he needs to do something impulsive for once. Except, what begins innocently enough soon takes on a life of its own, and it could be that the acceptance they’ve both been looking for comes from the most spontaneous thing of all – love. Book 1 of 4 in the BARROW BROS. SERIES by best-selling author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS. A spring romance. 20,000 words. less

She’d planned this from every conceivable angle, outlined what she’d say and how he’d react. She’d considered how it would ultimately be received by her parents and couldn’t see any huge point of failure. She’d thumb her nose at her parents’ lofty plans and marry someone who was everything they hated. She’d hang around long enough to see their disgusted faces, then break it off with him gently and go on her merry way. But staring at Walton, she knew. He wasn’t a chump at all... moreShe’d planned this from every conceivable angle, outlined what she’d say and how he’d react.

She’d hang around long enough to see their disgusted faces, then break it off with him gently and go on her merry way. But staring at Walton, she knew. He wasn’t a chump at all. He knew this was a game, but was playing along. Why? Why would he be willing to do this? ----- Kaidence Grimes grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, but not a whole lot of love. She received more affection from her nannies than either of her parents and seems to be in their lives only to make the perfect match with some other high-end family. She’s their way to climb further up the social scale. Walton Barrow left his former fiancé at the altar and hasn’t been able to live down the image since. Though she’s happily married now, the stigma of him as unable to commit still lingers. When Kaidence approaches him in Las Vegas, offering instant marriage, though he knows she’s running a scam, he also sees a way out of his issues. Instant wife. No ceremony. Perfect. Yet the more they learn about each other, about marriage and responsibility, the heavier the weight of their actions become. And the greater the secret growing between them. A secret that will either bring them together in wedded bliss or put them back where they started – looking like fools. Book 2 of 4 in the Barrow Bros. Series by author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS. less

Startled by his change of words, her face cleared, as if she didn’t know how to react. She was even prettier than when she was angry. He’d bet he couldn’t handle her being happy. “Oh, that’s … Thanks. But …” She looked past him at the driveway, then to the right at his car. “You shouldn’t park there,” she said. “I have a new neighbor, and I don’t know when they’ll come home.” “That’s the other thing,” he continued. “I’m the neighbor.” Her voice became a squeak... moreStartled by his change of words, her face cleared, as if she didn’t know how to react.
