About this ebook

“A sassy new voice in contemporary romance!” —Roxanne St. Claire, New York Times bestselling author

With one cancelled wedding, one weekend fling, and a lot of history behind them, can a career-minded former couple finally get on the fast-track to true love—with each other?...

Tired of working long hours with no one to come home to, ER doctor Denise Saunders accepts a chance to compete on a reality dating show. But there’s only one person she trusts to review the contract—attorney Brody Nichols, the man she left at the altar five years ago. Needless to say, Brody is floored. Unable to convince her to opt out, and unwilling to stand by while she risks getting burned by the spotlight, he can only think of one way to protect the woman he’s never stopped loving.

Denise expected some surprises on Finding Mr. Right, but she’s beyond shocked to meet the last contestant: Brody. She doesn’t know whether to feel punk’d, pissed, or relieved. Yet as a series of hot hijinks and dueling bachelors ensues, Denise can’t deny he’s The One—and always has been. She knows she’ll have to come clean about their past to the show’s other contestants—and to Brody. But once she tells him the real reason she played the runaway bride, Brody may be the one to walk. Is honesty a risk she’s brave enough to take?...

Ratings and reviews

Loved this one. I'm a sucker for a second chance story and this is definitely a good one! Denise Saunders called off her engagement to Brody Nichols days before the planned wedding. They were both workaholics. She as a doctor, him as an attorney. There was never any time for them so even though she loved him very much she put an end to their very long relationship. Now after a moment of complete craziness she knows he's the only one who can help her. She's signed a contract to appear on a reality dating show and she needs him to get her out of it! He can't though and she has no choice but to go through with it. She can't believe her eyes though when she catches sight of the last contestant. None other than Brody Nichols himself! Is this fate or a twisted trick on his part? Definitely a fun read and one I recommend to everyone.

About the author

Gail Chianese's love of reading began at the tender age of three, when she'd make her grandpa read Fourteen Country Rabbits over and over and over again (and correct him when he skipped parts). While she's branched out over the years by reading mystery, women’s fiction, and urban fantasy, she always circles back to romance in the end. That's probably because she's married to her real‑life hero. Her wonderful hubby has served in the US Navy for the past twenty‑two years and he’s done things he can’t tell her about. But it doesn’t stop her from being extremely proud of him and the sacrifices he makes for her, his family, and his country. He’s also uber‑supportive of her dreams and of their three children. Living in Mystic, CT and a member of Connecticut Romance Writers of America, Gail loves to hear from readers.
