Love at First House (Rough & Ready Country Book 8)

Lily sets my body on fire and my heart on overdrive. But I keep the young beauty at arm's length until a marriage of convenience changes everything...

After a tragic car accident, my next-door neighbors' five children are left without parents. Their older sister, Lily, rushes home from college, sacrificing her future. It's tough watching the irresistibly curvy, much younger woman struggle with menial jobs, social services, and poverty to keep her siblings together...

Until the day I can't idly sit by any longer... I make Lily a begrudging offer she can't refuse. Marry me, and I'll allow her and the kids to move into my cabin. The last thing I want as a happy and committed bachelor is a bunch of kids messing up my life and home. But being a millionaire custom homebuilder and former foster kid undeniably positions me to pay it forward...

I tell myself the situation is temporary and simple, but complications abound. Chief among them? My head may know Lily's my wife in name only, but my heart and body have other plans... Plans that will be shattered if the gorgeous young woman ever learns the real circumstances surrounding our "convenient" marriage.

If you like an OTT possessive alpha MMC and a quirky, sassy, curvy girl who gets what she wants, you'll adore this small-town, age-gap, marriage of convenience romance with all the feels!
