Fiancee By Mistake

192 pages

A snowbound, high-angst clash of wills where mistaken identity fuels a fiery, irresistible attraction.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like being trapped in a snow globe where the temperature is rapidly rising. It delivers the quintessential vintage category romance experience, built entirely on the delicious friction of forced proximity and a massive misunderstanding. The atmosphere is thick with simmering resentment and undeniable chemistry, keeping the pages turning at a brisk, breathless pace. The prose is unapologetically melodramatic, focusing intensely on the characters' internal emotional turmoil and the electric tension of their shared isolation. It is a deeply cozy yet highly angsty read, perfect for anyone who loves the classic enemies-to-lovers trope where a brooding hero and a defensive heroine are forced to confront their prejudices—and their burning desires—while snowed in together.

About the book

He wanted her -- but could he have her?

Driving home for Christmas, Leah's car landed in a snow-filled ditch -- and she was rescued by Sean Gallagher, who took her to his home to recover.

Leah couldn't believe it! Sean was convinced that Leah had got engaged to his brother, then run away. It was as if he hated her...and desired her. As the burning need between them grew more intense, Leah fought to resist: Sean seemed determined to prove she was a wanton...by seducing her into his bed....
