BLURB
From award-winning and international best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes a steamy standalone novel in the Cocky Hero world.
Zelda
Life as a Las Vegas fake wedding coordinator has never been boring.
Unfortunately for me, it just got a little too exciting … the bad kind of exciting that lands you in the emergency room.
On the bright side, it was a hot paramedic who showed up to save the day. Sure, he’s a bit cocky, but it works for him. And now I can’t get him out of my mind … which was the good kind of exciting until it wasn’t. Until one date turned into a fake marriage fiasco.
Now I don’t know if we’re really falling for each other or if it’s all an act.
Ty
Being a paramedic in Vegas, I’ve seen it all. Or I thought I had until I got a call for a fall victim who’d tripped over a swan and tumbled into a pond.
Luckily for her, I follow up with my patients — especially the pretty ones — and I made sure she was on the road to recovery in no time. And by “road to recovery,” I obviously mean ready to go on a date with me.
But unluckily for me, our first real date found me waking up hungover only to discover that we’d gotten married the night before.
Or so I thought. Turns out we weren’t actually married. But I didn’t know that when I let it slip to my dying mother, whose last wish is for me to find someone to take care of me once she’s gone.
Really, it’s my job to take care of people. But with three hearts on the line? Even I’m not that good. And I know someone’s heart is bound to get broken.

MY REVIEW
When Ty comes to the rescue of a gorgeous fake wedding planner, he and Zelda wind up entangled in a fake accidental marriage to keep his dying mom happy. All he wanted was a date with her and now he's woken up with a fake wife he's about to hand his heart to.
Zelda and Ty's story is a rollercoaster - super hot highs with their electric chemistry, and sad, cold lows when Ty had a hard time working through his baggage. I wanted to hug poor Zelda when his behavior hurt her so badly, but like the truly good guy he is, he figured it out and worked his way back into her heart. I'm not sure if the author will write another installment about Ty and Zelda's friends, but I definitely hope so *hint hint*.
