I have a confession to make.... I love romance novels. Okay, that’s not a confession. They’re the top-selling genre in fiction, so lots of people love romance. My confession is: I believe romance only lives within the pages of those books. This is a point of contention between me and my fellow romance readers. I’m used to arguing with my book-club besties. I’m not used to ridiculously hot, shirtless millionaires making it their goal in life to prove me wrong about romance. But that’s exactly what Beckett Vinroot does.

Somewhere along the way, Charlotte Freemont stopped believing in happily-ever-afters.
