Reliable, boring Gina Carlson is living a lie. Not only is her engagement to her best friend one of convenience that will allow them to buy Happy Lake Lodge and Campground from his grandmother, but there’s also a teensy-tiny chance she might already be married after a drunken night in Vegas. She doesn’t remember that night—but waking up in a tacky honeymoon suite with a twenty-five-year-old stripper and rings on her finger doesn’t mean they actually got married, right?Benji Dwyer is sick of being a one-night-only fantasy, even if it comes with the territory of taking his clothes off on stage. The night with Gina was different. What they had was something deeper. That’s why he married her.So when circumstances (and possibly mafia lackeys) send him on the run, Benji decides to lay low at Happy Lake and see if he and Gina still spark. But Gina doesn’t remember him. Even worse—she’s engaged to someone else. So Benji proposes a deal. He’ll tell her what happened, keep their marriage secret, and give her a divorce—if he can stay for the summer.This spicy small-town rom-com is written in first person POV and comes with a twist of action, bisexual characters, and an older woman (34)-younger man (25) age gap. It’s the first of the three books in the Summer Love series and can be read as a standalone. Content notes can be found in the book and on my webpage.
