Once upon a time, I told the truth and was labeled a liar. Now, I dont have time for fairytales. I’m too busy keeping an all-too-human monster from my past well and truly buried. Literally.
When plans to raze a local landmark spell imminent disaster, I email the only lawyer I know for advice on blocking the demolition. The last thing I expect is for the single dad I’ve been trading parenting tips with to rush to my rescue.
Arden McRae is as sweet to me and my daughter as he is relentless in a courtroom. Falling for him is easy, but stepping into his high-society world is riskier than it seems. Between a wicked(ish) future mother-in-law, blending my little rough-houser with Arden’s preppy angels, and an uncontrolled media blitz, the last thing I need is someone digging up dirt on me.
Arden tells me to believe in our Happily Ever After. But when push comes to shovel, will Arden trust the evidence of his eyesor his heart?

I fell first, and I fell hard. So, yes. I sent Charlotte Miller a lump sum and called it an insurance payout. Then I created an anonymous scholarship for her. And, I do, in fact, own that company she needed help with.
Ill do whatever it takes to chase the shadows from her eyes. I have no idea Im asking the impossible: For her to believe in the man who helped to put them there in the first place. Every antihero has an origin story. She is mine.
Set in the 1990s, Ardently Yours is a McRae Legacy standalone prequel in the Trust Tequila world. As always, a Happily Ever After is coming your way. *Ardently Yours contains adult themes and situations that may be disturbing to some readers.
