The marriage was fake, but my feelings were real …

Welcome to Magnolia Falls … perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lucy Score and B.K. Borison!

Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov

Savannah Abbott was my best friend growing up, and the reason I could be the best version of myself.

But then, without warning, she was gone. And my life began unravelling the day she left. My guard went up, and my ability to trust people disappeared.

But now, Savannah is back in Magnolia Falls, and she’s acting like I’m the enemy.

That is, until she needs a favour. A temporary husband …

I may fight flames for a living, but my new wife is the fire that’s been missing all along. None of this is real, we remind ourselves while we’re playing house.

But maybe, for her, I’m willing to bend the rules …

Readers can't get enough of Magnolia Falls!

'I laughed, I cried, I blushed and kicked my feet like crazy, this book was EVERYTHING!'

'The spice in this book was top tier'

'Falling in love with the ride or die gang has been a highlight of 2024'

'Moving, epically sweet and searingly romantic … this is your next favourite read'
