Book excerpt: “Everything about this story is beautiful. I couldn't put it down!” 5 stars Their pretend relationship feels breathlessly real… Liz Wilkinson has finally landed her dream job overseeing Married in Malibu, a new wedding venue for the Hollywood elite that promises perfect, paparazzi-free happily ever afters. She vows to do whatever it takes to put the new company on the map. Even if it means working with her ex-fiancé...and pretending to be in love with him again, too! No matter how they try, they can’t resist each other’s oh-so-sweet kisses on the beach… As a bestselling thriller writer, Jason Lomax writes plot twists for a living. But he never could have imagined needing his ex-fiancée's help to arrange a secret beach wedding for his famous niece. Nor did he ever expect to fall even more in love with Liz the second time around. The wedding―and true love―they’ve both dreamed of for so long… When their fake dates―and kisses―become breathlessly, wonderfully real, will Jason be able to convince Liz that neither of them is pretending anymore? And that the love they once felt for each other never actually went away... “A deliciously sweet romance!” "If you want to curl up on the sofa and escape for a few hours, this is the book for you!" “Empowering, romantic, sassy and a fun read!” “Oh so romantic!” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Married in Malibu" Series Book 1: The Beach Wedding Book 2: The Summer Wedding Book 3: The Barefoot Wedding Book 4: The Moonlight Wedding Lucy Kevin is the pen-name of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre (who writes the #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans and the Maverick Billionaires).
