Hooking Up

Amalie Whitfield's wedding day falls apart at the reception, where her new husband is caught cheating in front of the guests. In a burst of desperate recklessness, she throws herself at the most attractive man in the room. He says no.

Rather than let the honeymoon she already paid for go to waste, Amalie flies alone to a small island in the South Pacific. She plans to nurse her wounded pride in private and keep the whole mess at a distance.

The man who rejected her turns up there too. He is Lex Mills, and he is on the island for work, not as a wedding guest. Nobody from home is around to see what they do, so the two agree that whatever happens between them stays on the island.

The attraction between them runs deeper than either expected, and walking away turns out to be harder than the agreement made it sound.

This is a contemporary romantic comedy with a steamy heat level, built on forced proximity, quick banter and plenty of humor. It is the second standalone book in the Shacking Up series, so it can be read without the first.
