Dearly Unbeloved

Spicy in Seattle, Book 3

By: Sophie Snow

Narrated by: C J Bloom, Cassandra Trieu

She needs a wife to secure a promotion. Her roommate needs a wife to claim her inheritance. A marriage of convenience is the perfect solution—if only they didn't hate each other.

Rose Cannon might not be thriving, but she's doing her best. Her relationship with her family is rocky, she's not great with people, and sometimes she can't make herself get out of bed. Work is the one place she's perfect—until she lies to her boss and pretends to be engaged to the messy roommate she loathes.

Sierra Hayashi has bigger problems than her stuck up roommate. The deadline for the inheritance she's counting on is fast approaching, and she still hasn't done the one thing she needs to do to claim it: get married. Easier said than done, considering she ends every relationship after three months.

When a drunk night in Vegas presents Rose and Sierra with an answer to their problems, they face a new challenge: can they survive staying married when they despise each other? Or will pretending to be in love unravel everything they think they hate about each other?
