The Right Words (Right and Wrong Book 1) (affiliate link)
The designer, the soccer player, and a brand new start…
Luke-
I need a new start. Pronto. Remodeling an old beach house for a professional soccer player and his model girlfriend sounds perfect. Except the job becomes a bit more complicated than advertised when the athlete in question decides to “help” with the renovation. Not good. This man is far too sexy…and not so straight.
Michael-
I need to keep my mind off my busted knee. Pitching in on the remodel with my poetry-spouting designer seems like a good way to stay out of trouble. Luke is kind of adorable. He’s vulnerable, but tougher than he looks. He inspires me and makes me think anything could be possible…with the right words.

So I organize a fake wedding to Jordan Boone.

Except someone (ahem, Mimi Boone) interferes, and apparently we’ve been married for real. My very real hunk of a husband has grown up to be a fiiiine man.
That still isn’t enough for me to want to be trapped in a marriage. Undoing it should be easy. It will be easy. Just as soon as I get this inheritance mess straightened out…

Romance novels, Hallmark movies . . . the immense demand for romantic stories reveals a deep, unsatisfied longing that can be found in many marriages, but does it have to be that way?

For summers Miranda Albright has watched—aghast, yet shamefully titillated—as her wicked neighbor Ethan Hamon, the notorious Earl of Rothschild, “entertained” a succession of lovers on the grounds of his estate. Now that her father has passed on, leaving behind a mountain of debt, Miranda must do the unthinkable. For Ethan has promised to sponsor her younger sisters, financially and socially, at a scandalously dear price: Miranda must offer herself to him completely for three full months, with no remorse and no restraints.
Ninety days and nights of unbridled sensuality await her in the arms of a rogue who views her submission as no more than a grand erotic game. But neither Miranda nor Ethan realize that fire blazes behind her innocent blush. And once her passion is unleashed by his lips and his touch, it is the student who will school the teacher in the ways of forbidden pleasure . . . and love.
