Last Chance Seduction

Mercy's wedding ends before it begins: her fiancé walks out on her at the altar, while Lexington Montgomery is holding her sister in his arms. Two years pass before she sees him again. In that time her sister is lost to the group of friends they shared, and Mercy is grieving.

She has moved back to Colorado to start over. She has no family left and no plans to date anyone, ever. Then Lexington turns out to be her new neighbor, and keeping her distance stops being an option.

His ex arrives with her new husband, and with the chance at the dream job Lexington wants. Mercy speaks up without thinking it through and ends up playing his girlfriend through the holidays. The pretense is invented, but the attraction between them is not.

Once they stop fighting it, the past Mercy ran from turns out to be close behind. New dangers threaten what they have, real or staged, before it has had a chance to settle.

Lexington is the son of Beckett and Eliza from Inked Obsession, and this fake relationship, forced proximity holiday romance belongs to the Montgomery Ink Legacy series. It reads as a standalone and promises a happy ending, so the question is what it costs them to get there.
