Riviera Shores Book 2 by Lily Baines ⋆ LitBuzz

I fell in love with the one man I couldn’t have. My husband. At forty, I’ll do anything to save my health shop, including marrying Angelo Marchesi, a decade younger, tattooed guitarist from Italy who needs a green card. To prove our marriage is real, Angelo moves into my tiny apartment and shatters my quiet routine. Now I come home to an unattainable, gut-wrenchingly gorgeous stranger who masterfully plays guitar on my sofa and sizzles beef in my vegan kitchen. Between staged couple pictures, and fabricated love notes, we unearth each other’s pained pasts. Angelo breaches my defences and unravels emotions I never knew existed. Our fiery arguments explode into scorching nights, blurring the lines between real and pretend. Before I know it, the man who put a ring around my finger has my heart in his grip. Now that this marriage feels painfully real, so are our differences. As our contract’s end nears, I brace for an inevitable heartbreak. Angelo could have any woman he desires, so why would he choose someone older, like me?
