Then a single split second shatters his world and forces him to face truths he has spent a lifetime outrunning. His family doubts he can really change, but Zander is determined to prove them wrong, and his chance arrives through the woman who helped save him. Shauna Flores knows exactly what it means to fight for survival. An EMT and a person in recovery, she has rebuilt her life piece by piece while refusing to give up on a best friend she will not abandon. When Shauna needs far more than a little help herself, Zander steps into a role he never imagined playing: husband of convenience. Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, where the Dark Knights protect their own and family means everything, this standalone pairs a reformed playboy with a fiercely resilient woman in a marriage neither planned. Emotional, hopeful, and steamy, it follows two people bound first by circumstance and gratitude, then by something far deeper, as a convenient arrangement slowly becomes the realest thing either has ever known.",2025,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxppanbbbwdpytr0cct4xkz9.jpg?v=80f772f87a","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxppanav3v2pbsv0ntbdmqyb.png?v=296310d2e9","L4DIat-B00^+1f0LVY~U0z9uR*$%","5.00",1,462,525,0,"complete",false,true,[18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,15],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":29},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Irresistibly Wicked delivers everything I have come to expect from Melissa Foster. Family, friendship, richly drawn characters, and an intense, scorching romance sit at the heart of this story.\n\nZander Wicked is a heartbreaker and a playboy who, unlike his siblings, has no interest in settling down. He enjoys women and finds sticking to just one unbearably dull. Variety, after all, is the spice of life. However, after a near-fatal accident and his rescue by an off duty EMT his outlook dramatically shifted.\n\nThe EMT who singlehandedly pulled him from the wreckage was Shauna Flores. She is compassionate and grounded, yet beneath that steady exterior she carries emotional scars of her own. Her voice and presence are forever seared into Zander’s memory—his angel, his savior, and the one woman he cannot forget.\n\nAs fate would have it, he encountered her again after his recovery and soon discovered that Shauna needed an angel of her own. To secure her inheritance—and ensure she could support her best friend—she had to get married. In a twist no one saw coming, Zander, the consummate playboy, volunteered to be her fake husband. What began as a practical arrangement quickly shifted as the line between pretend and reality blurred. Their growing connection forced them to confront their feelings and decide whether the love taking root between them was worth fighting for.\n\nThroughout their journey, they experience tender moments, simmering tension, and, above all, the raw emotional honesty that makes their bond impossible to ignore. Seeing Zander fall so deeply in love with Shauna warmed my heart.  Shauna’s strength, compassion, and quiet determination make her an ideal partner for Zander. \n\nMelissa Foster weaves themes of healing, trust, and the courage to choose love, even in uncertainty. The Wicked family adds warmth, humor, and the strong sense of community that defines the series.\n\nIrresistibly Wicked is a heartfelt, passionate, and thoroughly engaging read. It gives fans everything they expect from Melissa Foster, fiery chemistry, emotional growth, and unforgettable characters.\n\nThe story comes to life through the narration of Sean Masters and Savannah Peachwood, whose voices perfectly capture the emotions and tones of the characters.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading",5,"none","rv-01kxppap8d7gm5esrfcx2tmd86",[],"2026-07-17T00:06:26.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":132,"per_page":133,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxppanav3v2pbsv0ntbdmqyb\u002Freviews",20]
