From Rivalry to Revelry…to Romance?

Competitive swimmer turned real estate magnate Michael Kelly is tastier than a Christmas cookie. But now Charlotte Locke's sexy former lover is her top business rival…and the father of her unborn child. Determined to keep her professional cool, the hotel heiress hides her delicate condition from her family—and from her commitmentphobic ex. Until Michael moves in next door, exposing a desire left unquenched and Charlotte's pregnancy secret.

Michael may not be daddy material, but losing Charlotte and their baby isn't an option. He'll close the deal at any cost—even if it takes a Christmas miracle to prove this playboy is reformed for good!

Recent exes find themselves thrown together when they least expect it in this fast paced romace! He doesn’t do commitment and she goes through life dreaming of love and marriage at the drop of a hat. Their spontaneous nature leads to a wit filled dialogue and fun interaction.

Real estate mogul Michael Kelly is enjoying the good life and setting his sights on bigger and better every day, but when his most recent ex puts a wrinkle in his latest project, he’s not overly happy about it. He can’t deny he’s missed her since they split, but she wanted different things out of their relationship than he did, and he just couldn’t give her what she needed.

Charlotte Locke is determined to make her family see her as something more than the big screw up who can do no right, but she didn’t expect the job she set her mind on to lead to her working side by side with Michael … who just so happens to be the daddy of the baby she’s carrying and hasn’t told anyone about!

An Overnight Billionaire…
When Carson Frost inherits a confectionary that rakes in billions but is too cash-strapped to last another sixty days, he agrees to take a loan from his late father’s rival. There are two catches: Carson has to sign over a permanent stake in the company and marry the man’s daughter.

Concocts a Fake Bride…
Two weeks before the wedding, he gets cold feet and claims he’s in love with someone else. The investor says he’ll still hand over the cash if Carson takes a stroll down the aisle—with the woman who owns his heart. Since he isn’t even dating anyone, Carson panics. Where is he going to find a bride willing to jilt him at the altar on such short notice?

And Whips Up a Little Love.
Ella Hope is an actress happy for any paying gig, but jilting a hottie in public isn’t what she had in mind. Still, she needs rent, and he’s in a bind. How hard can it be? While playing at matrimony, suddenly their intimacy isn’t so fake. Ella can’t help but fantasize that Carson is her groom and they will live happily ever after. But once his company is safe, will he want her anymore?

Witty, fun and downright sexy! With the fourth book in the Misadventures series, Shayla Black takes us on a fun jaunt towards happily ever after with a fake it till you make it love story. The plot was easy to get drawn into and the characters were a fun combination!

Carson Frost finds himself in quite the conundrum after inheriting his father’s struggling business. He has to make a deal with the devil, AKA his father’s greatest rival, in order to stay above water long enough to get the company back in good standing … but his end of the bargain is marrying his rival’s daughter. The closer he gets to dooms day, the more convinced he is that it’s a huge mistake, so he is left with no other option than to come up with Plan B!

Ella Hope is a struggling actress and more than happy to get the promise of a job, but when she learns she’s supposed to be playing the woman Carson says he fell in love with in order to get out of marrying his fiance, she’s not so sure they can pull this off! When playing make-believe starts to feel all too real, will they be able to get the deal done with their hearts still intact?
