A five-minute trolley ride, one troublemaking luggage, and two stolen identities. Six months later, two strangers discover they’re married. She wants an annulment. He has other plans.
Being illegally hitched is about the only way Chase Lennox would ever be shackled to any woman. But when the multimillionaire playboy finds out he’s married to the woman who caused him to lose the biggest deal of his life, Chase decides before he gives his new wife an annulment, she’s going to help him close the deal he’d lost.
Jessina Landi has a three-foot radius comfort zone. The last man she let into it cost her a lot more than a broken heart. And the huge debt she owes for that trust, well, it’s due. If she takes Chase Lennox's up on his offer, it’s sure to cover the bill.
There’s an annulment waiting at the end of their rainbow… well, that’s if they can get through the next two weeks without consummating the marriage.
Excerpt
I just love the TroubleMaker
Series!! Every story is entirely different from the other and each and every
one of them is entertaining and a pure pleasure to read!
Favorite Places is
probably my favorite book of the series..so far at least…
The story may not be
the most original, but the characters are amazing and the writing is
incredible! Kelly has this unique ability to write fast-paced novels without
leaving anything significant out of the story.. Every character is very well
developed and every event is created and executed perfectly!..She is incredibly
talented and the Troublemaker series is here to prove that..
This novel, in
particular, alternates between serious and playful in a way a reader doesn’t
see very often. When we’re in the serious mode, there’s this aura around the
characters that make you wanna get into their heads..And when we’re in the
playful zone, you just laugh like crazy..
Chase and Jessina are
our main characters and I loved them both..Even when Chase is being an asshole,
he’s still so damn adorable..You can’t stay mad at him..Believe me, I tried and
failed miserably…And Jess is an amazing character through and through..She
doesn’t take crap by anyone, even by her beloved husband..Truly supportive of
that..
In conclusion, the
Troublemaker Series is a MUST-READ SERIES that you do not want not to read!!
Trust me on that! And Favorite Places will make you love the series all the
more…Kelly is an author you really want to stalk..
"Finish
getting ready. We're outta here in a few minutes.” He turned his back to her.
Jessina
struggled to recover from the total body meltdown he’d so easily triggered.
"Are we heading back to your apartment?"
"Yes,"
he responded just as he disappeared from the doorway.
"Good."
She raised her voice. "You can drop me off at the bus stop then."
Chase's
head swayed back in the doorway. "Come again?"
"I'm
going home, but I'll be back in time for Caplin's arrival on Thursday."
He stepped
back into the room. "Why do you want to go home?"
The
question caught her off guard. She'd assumed he'd be pleased to be rid of her.
Nonetheless, telling him the truth wasn't an option. "As you said, the
only reason we needed to spend time together was so I could get to know you, so
we can convince Caplin we're married."
His
forehead wrinkled. "And you feel like you know me?"
"Well
enough to pull off a bullshit marriage, yes."
"Hmm."
He rubbed his chin. The intensity of his stare held her captive. She clung to
those dark eyes, waiting for him to say something. He dropped his hand and took
a step toward her.
"I
don't want you to go." His low, husky words resonated in her ears.
Her body
hesitated, heart skipped, and nerves stammered. All of her senses failed her.
She couldn’t have heard him right. "What?"
"There
are a few more things you need to know about me in order to successfully pull
this off, Jessina."
Every
single one of her senses came back to life as he moved closer.
"Will
you stay just one more night?" He stopped in front of her. "So I can
show them to you?"
"What?"
Heat flushed through her body once more. "What sort of things?"
Dark,
ravishing eyes dropped to her mouth as he drew a finger down the side of her
cheek. It trailed along her neck, gently grazing her shoulder and caressing the
length of her arm. "The sort of things I would do with my real wife."
He looked back up at her, his hand now settled on her hip. The weight of his
touch caused her stomach to clench with desire. His hand shifted to the small
of her back, and her next breath got caught in her throat. "I want to show
you how my wife would make me feel when I'm this close to her." He applied
light pressure with his hand to her back, and the space between them descended.
Their bodies became one.
"Chase…" His name fell from her lips in a
near whisper when his hardness pressed into her tight-with-desire belly.
"Jessina…"
he hissed back in a throaty murmur.
Kelly resides in a quiet suburb somewhere between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY. Her day job? Kelly works in health care representing a group of nursing facilities in the WNY area. She’s been faithfully writing for three years but did write her first book ten years ago. She put it down to raise her son as a single mom and then picked it back up when she and her son finally grew up. That's when she settled into her newly married adult life and started to seriously write again. She's dabbled with Romantic Suspense stories, but recently she's been on a contemporary kick. The recipe for the men in her stories: a dash of bad boy attitude, a cup of strong and confident and, of course, besides being packed with magnificent bodies, and doused with shameless aptitudes, they must have a tender heart you want to rip out of the pages (or your e-Reader) and take to bed with you at night.
