Simon McCoy can’t forget Margot Banks and the summer they became friends and, almost… something more. But then she stood him up and got back together with her boyfriend.
He needs a girlfriend…
Simon McCoy overheard Margot Banks claiming he’s her boyfriend and lawyer. A gentleman wouldn’t take advantage of her embarrassment.
But Simon isn’t a gentleman. Especially where she’s concerned. He makes her a deal. He’ll be her lawyer, if she’ll be his date to his sister’s wedding.
Margot is the one that got away, and this time Simon is going to catch her. A few weeks will get her out of his system. If what his exes say is true, he doesn’t have a heart to lose.
The problem with his plan? He realizes that maybe his heart was Margot’s years ago and he’s looking for more than a fling. As much as he knows about seducing women, that’s how little he knows about having a real relationship.
She needs a lawyer…
After a disastrous marriage, Margot’s done with fairy tales. She just wants to make a decent life for her son. But when her philandering ex-husband decides he wants custody of their son, she needs a knight in shining armor (with a law degree).
And Simon McCoy steps up.
There’s a problem with this simple and mutually beneficial arrangement. When Simon kisses her, he reawakens more than just her passion. He makes her want a life that’s better than just decent. But trusting anything, even her own heart, feels impossible.
If they want a chance for a fairy-tale ending together then they’ll have to battle the demons in their pasts and fight for their happily-ever-after.
Can this fake relationship lead to a real-life fairy-tale ending?
This book is the seventh book in the MAGNOLIA VALLEY series. It can be read as a standalone or as part of a larger story line.
My Review 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
We first got an introduction to this book in the previous book and although some of the action can be understood from previous books, this book can still be read as a stand alone.
Margot's ex-husband is suddenly wanting to change the custody agreement and no is trying intimidation and nasty things to get Teddy with him more often, but only to the fact that his new girlfriend has a son and Teddy would probably end up babysitting quite a bit. One person that he detests is Simon, a man who punched him when he deserved it.
Simon and Margot had a thing together when they were younger for a few weeks, until Margot did not turn up one day. Simon never got over Margot and although Margot moved one, she left part of her heart behind with Simon.
Fifteen years later with Margot divorced and needing help, Simon overhears a conversation that changes their lives forever. Simon needs a date to his sisters wedding and Margot needs a lawyer.
These are two wonderful characters with strong spines and both realise that it is not only time to move on, but are stronger with the other at their sides.
I loved the happy ending and cannot wait to see how Amelia and Sebastian get together with their HEA.
