If celebs can quietly do their thing, so can I.
In case you missed it, I released a new book. Well, actually, I re-released a book that I tweaked a bit.
A few years ago, I was part of the Happily Ever After Collective on Patreon. Marry Me was my contribution – a fake relationship story set in Hunters Grove, Vermont – the fictional town that is the setting of my very first novel, Snowbound, as well as the setting of my Substack serial, A Piece of My Heart.
I loved writing Marry Me and, since the HEA Collective is no longer on Patreon, I’m sharing it with you.
Shouldn’t you be marketing this?
I know, I should have made more of a hullabaloo about it, but I was busy with my nine-to-five and some extra projects there. Plus, I have been trying to use any free time to finish another writing project. Yes, I have something else up my sleeve. I’ll tell you about it soon. So, for now, I am taking a cue from all the celebs who “quietly” do things.
So what’s it about?
Their marriage was supposed to be fake… until it wasn’t.
Tilda needs a husband – fast. Her dream job at the Jessamine Hale Academy for Girls comes with one unexpected condition: all staff must be married. And somehow, she missed that tiny, life-altering detail.
Luckily, she has a plan – convincing her housemate Gus, a charming Danish pastry chef who runs the cozy café Hygge Time, to be her husband. Yes, a fake marriage. Quick, simple, no strings attached.
But when nosy parents and neighbors, a jealous ex, and very real feelings enter the mix, their carefully crafted rules start to crumble.
Because somewhere between “I do” and “we shouldn’t,” Tilda starts to wonder if their pretend marriage might just be the real deal.
Does it sound like your cup of tea?
