Lock 'Em Down

I woke up in Vegas with a rock on my finger and a Tennessee Thunderbolt in my bed.

I'm a carpe diem, live-in-the-moment kind of woman. But this? This is redefining what it means to roll the dice.

Especially because my new husband is Thunderbolts centre Leif Bang. Yes, he has electric blue eyes that pierce me to my core. For sure, I've never seen forearms quite like his. And he makes me fold over laughing.

He's also the man my mother was scheming to set me up with once I settled in Knoxville for my new job.

Determined to start my new life on my own terms, the last thing I need is a wickedly charming husband who's never had a serious girlfriend, much less an impulsive wife. It's fine — I'm all about those annulment papers.

Except our moms are old friends, I'm new in town, and Leif is nothing like I expected. Especially when he asks me to fake this marriage a little while longer.

Now I'm forced to embrace my life's motto and leave things up to chance. Even if I'm gambling with my heart.
