Romancing The Author (The Cara Series Book 1) by Julieann Dove

Cara Shoemaker, divorced romance novelist, just received a text from her daughter that she was getting married…in two weeks. The wedding would be in California and her ex-husband and hottie girlfriend would be in attendance. As if that wasn’t enough reason to crawl underneath her bed and remain there, the text ended by saying she wanted her mom’s boyfriend there for the occasion, too.Dalton McCormick, male Adonis, and everything her lousy ex-husband was not. Cara made up his existence so her daughter wouldn’t worry about her.

For the last year, they had done everything Cara wanted…traveled to Italy, antiqued in sleepy towns, and woke up late on Sunday mornings. He was the perfect guy, on paper.Cara’s best friend, Janey, arranged for an actor friend to accompany Cara to the wedding and check all the boxes that solidified them as the couple she described them as being. The only problem was when Dominick Balteros showed up, nothing about him resembled the nice guy, Dalton.

In fact, Cara wondered if she and Dominick would even survive the plane trip to California. He was outspoken, laid back, devilishly charming, and had the ability to undo years of Cara’s demure composure. It was going to be a weekend no one expected or would soon forget.
