Sincerely, Your Inconvenient Wife (The Harder They Fall, #2)(104)
Connell got his first dance with his daughter.
Elena helped my mother plan everything with baby Phoebe on her hip.
Hannah sprinkled flowers, and Caleb passed out programs. And while Caleb wasn’t fully on board with me, he’d been calling me small less and less these days, so I took that as a sign I was winning him over. He had even lowered himself to having a sleepover at our condo twice in the last year. I figured one or two more times, and he’d be putty in my hands.
I picked up the frame from Saoirse’s desk. There were two photos side by side. One from our wedding where we were laughing with each other. The second was at our vow renewal in Wyoming. Saoirse had worn her pink dress with a flower tucked behind her ear. She took my breath away, always, but that dress had done a fucking number on me. I’d already asked her to wear it for me every year. Since she was a good girl, she very easily said “yes.” She’d definitely get something out of the experience. Multiple somethings.
I ran my finger over the picture of us in Wyoming. We’d said our vows in a rustic chapel on the ranch in front of fifty friends and family, sun streaming through the stained-glass windows, giddy smiles on our faces.
It hadn’t been a do-over. We hadn’t needed one of those. The first time had been perfect because it was what had made us us.
Standing in front of everyone at the renewal had only reaffirmed what we had already worked out for ourselves: we chose each other, and we would keep choosing each other until our last sunset.

Dear Grumpy Boss
Saoirse and Luca's friends, Elise and Weston, have their own happily ever after in Dear Grumpy Boss.
https://mybook.to/DearGrumpyBoss
I’ve spent the better part of the last few years successfully avoiding my brother’s best friend, Weston Aldrich.
As CEO of Andes Inc, the infuriatingly handsome and incessantly grumpy Weston also happens to be my new boss.
It shouldn’t have been hard to continue avoiding him. After all, he’s on the executive floor and I’m one of many copywriters.
Weston has his own ideas about how things should go between us. He’s in my emails, leaving notes on my desk, and as if that’s not enough, he arranges for me to accompany him on a business trip.
That leads to stolen touches, frenzied kisses, and the undeniable need to work each other out of our systems. That always works, right?
Except now that I know what it feels like to have Weston Aldrich appreciate every inch of my abundant curves, avoiding him is impossible.
But he’s my brother’s best friend.
And a workaholic.
We have to stop.
And we will.
Soon.
Just…not yet.

Thank you to...
This book has been on my mind since I first wrote Saoirse’s character in her big brother’s book, Sweet Like Poison. Lock and Elena become beloved characters to both me and my readers, so I knew I couldn’t quit them and their family. The Harder They Fall series exists because of Saoirse. I built this series around her so I could tell her story.
I hope I did justice to her and her family. I’m pretty satisfied with all the happily ever afters I created.
I have to thank my husband for helping me come up with Miller’s crime. I was going to write something boring like embezzlement, when my husband mentioned a story he’d seen on “60 Minutes”. My mind started whirring, I did a little research, and boom, Miller’s storyline was born.
I have to thank my girl, Kate Farlow, for creating my covers and being patient with me when I’m indecisive and not bursting with enthusiasm. I promise, I LOVE it. I just show it quietly!
Thank you to Alley, Laura, and CoraLee for letting me pop in to our chat with random thoughts and worries and always replying. I love our randomness.
Thank you to the Booktokers/Bookstagrammers who shared the hell out of Dear Grumpy Boss. You guys really made it soar in ways I couldn’t have come close to doing on my own.
