Runaway Groom

I Do I Don’t, Book Two

  • Explicit sex scenes. Readers 18+

  • Despite being “off brand” (this one’s set in Maui instead of NYC!) this is one of my all-time favorites of my books.

After losing a bet, the hottest name in Hollywood finds himself in Maui as the main attraction in a reality dating show, and the only woman who catches his interest wants nothing to do with him.

  • For one charming playboy, getting cast on a Bacheloresque reality TV show is the shock of a lifetime—until he finds love where he least expects it. And now the chase is on!

    Gage Barrett’s reputation as a ladies’ man has been greatly exaggerated, but none of that matters after a drunken bet lands him on /Jilted/,a reality TV show that matches runaway grooms with wannabe brides. Now he’s stuck at a Hawaiian resort with nineteen women competing to drag him back to the altar—and one contestant who’s even more miserable than he is. Gage has no idea how feisty, independent Ellie Wright wound up in the cast, but it’s obvious she hates his guts. And if there’s one thing Gage likes, it’s a challenge. . . .

    Ellie can’t believe she let her best friend talk her into exchanging her dignity for a glorified bikini contest. Still, she could use the exposure—her business is struggling—and she’ll probably be one of the first to get eliminated anyway. But Gage isn’t the shallow jerk Ellie anticipated—and he’s in no rush to send her home. As stolen kisses turn into secret trysts, she finds herself losing track of what’s real and what’s for the camera. With the wedding finale looming, this runaway groom is tempting Ellie to start believing in storybook endings.
