Only 99 Cents & Available on Kindle Unlimited!
An artsy young woman, given the impossible task by her estranged father to score her widowed brother-in-law a wife, instead finds love, self-discovery and redemption.
“My name is Matilda Pearl. My life is a non-stop riddle I hope to one day solve.
I’ve learned to protect my heart; fate has dealt me more than a few shit cards in my twenty-two years. Invisibility tops my list, not to mention tragedy.
I was yanked out of a Paris-France life by my ass of a father, and thrown into a one year journey on a farm in Wisconsin. I’ve been assigned the impossible: Wife Catcher.
Simply put, until I replace myself I’m Mary Poppins, the beast tamer, ringmaster of the unruly, complete with twin toddlers and a beast of a man. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my three-ring circus.
“The Beast – Balthazar Cox – is repulsive…as in that sexy, I-just-died-and-went-to-heaven sort of repulsive. He walks the earth like he owns it, with his tatted trunk of a body and chiseled-rough, blazing good looks. The beastly Brit – did I mention that he’s English? – also happens to be my widowed brother-in-law, a man haunted by betrayal and abandonment, and for whom I’m on task to find a wife. If I succeed I’ll be rewarded with my juicy trust fund. And, yes, it will happen. You can keep your diamonds and designer clothes…. With my bag of loot, I plan on becoming the Patron Saint
of Lost and Found Animals.
of Lost and Found Animals.
“When the past resurfaces more than once for both of us, all hell breaks loose. Can you be lost and found at once? In other words, sometimes lies can be cathartic. Some people heal us; some of us heal others.
“This is mostly a love story, an unlikely sexy romance with whiplash twists, boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed, and multiple risks of losing everything. It may have more heartache, and drama than some but in the end it’s about truth, discovery and forgiveness. Maybe it was wrong to fall for him. Or maybe the hole in his heart was always waiting for me to fill it. Now there’s a riddle for you.”
A full-length, standalone New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, and mature topics this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
This beautiful books stole my heart from the very first chapter. It just oozes warmth, love, comfort and hope. I am a huge fan of dark romance, and have read several darker (but brilliant) books back to back, and then to open up this little slice of sunshine, it was just such a refreshing fun loving journey and I just ate it up cover to cover.
First I had my heart stolen by this beautiful beast of a man, BALTHAZAR COX:
"HE LOOKS LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO MAKES MIDNIGHT CONVERSATIONS TURN INTO MORNING PANCAKES."
-SOLD!
He's this "Beastly Brit" with a freaking heart of GOLD. He loves his boys and they are his whole entire world, until Matilda Shows up. She turns his whole world upside down. The things this man feels for her, with his big huge loving heart, the things he says, are just SWOON-TASTIC! I mean, I can literally feel my heart going pitter patter while reading.
I want to share this dang quote with you guys so bad, but I don't want to spoil anything... so all I will say is BOTTOM OF PAGE 147 ya'll. Squeal!
And next my heart was so totally stolen by this majestic beautiful girl, Matilda Pearl:
My new book Bestie. :) She bakes, she giggles, she plays with the boys, catches toads and rescues animals, she does charity and finds beauty in all things. She's been shit on by her family her whole life but she still knows how to love in the very purest way. She's this kind loving soul but she's also got a little badass in her.
"Let me tell you something about my heart." I tap his chest with one finger as I bounce my knee. "It doesn't pretend. It reveals. I trust that it won't trick me. But what I don't trust its hat you won't"
These two beautiful people have found each other through the death of Matilda's sister, Balthazar's wife. And they have found not only comfort in each other... but a home.
You will absolutely NOT be disappointed in this beautiful book. It has every element that makes for an amazing read! Its Sweet & Funny, Its has Chemistry & Angst, and its Sexy as hell! I can't wait to read more from this wonderful author. New reader for life right here.

ABOUT MY WRITING
I've written for years on end. I wrote my first books in the sixth grade, one of which was about finding luck...glass half-full don't you know! Novel writing is new to me and a delicious addiction. I can be found writing 15 hours a day...easily, happily. All of which ends with a stiff cocktail. I'm addicted to reading when not writing. I can't flip a pancake without my kindle in hand. I've been an avid reader my whole life, so this writing thing (which mind you is only part of what I do for a living) makes sense and is a huge part of my DNA. And the bonus is, it bodes well for one's marriage (wink, wink).
I live with my characters day and night. Most of the time I feel like a voyeur in their lives, which magically seem to unfold right in front of me. They're in my dreams and on my brain non-stop. I'll spend weeks editing and revising one book with the next plot swimming through my head and being scribbled onto endless reams of paper. When I write I feel everything - and I do mean EVERYTHING - about them. I'm turned on by them. I laugh at and with them. I get pissed at them. I bitch at them. I cry if something awful is happening to them. My heart speeds up when they fight. I get goose bumps because of them. And holy-smokin'-Jesus-take-the-wheel, I'm wildly thrilled when they have great make up sex.
I'll admit it sometimes feels a little like I'm playing God when I write (either that or a puppeteer). I love writing about strong characters that have flaws and imperfections to deal with, work on or resolve. My characters live well, because they can and it's way more fun to fantasize about them in this way. Delicious sex is a part of every book, as is wit, zip, and boatloads of sarcasm. I don't do vanilla, nor do I like to read it. I adore twists, turns and funky plot oddities that make life the crazy thing that it really is. I love putting my characters in awkward situations that allow for interesting, heated and often sexy dialogue to play out. And, while I've written several books in other genres under a different name, this is by far the most fun a girl could have without breaking the law (even though orange is my color).
