He needs a bride.
She needs a project.
Can a fake marriage lead to a lifetime of love?

Charlotte Sutton has dreams as big as the Texas sky, and she’ll do anything to make them come true. She’s been Miss Lonestar State, a beauty consultant, a real estate agent, and has now set her sights on becoming Willow Bay’s most sought-after wedding planner. She’s never been in love or married but that doesn’t stop her from creating every bride’s fantasy day. It’s easy—all she does is plan her dream day. So, when devilishly handsome billionaire Bastien Richmond approaches her about arranging an over-the-top wedding, she’s all-in until she finds out he doesn’t have a bride.

Bastien Richmond is a lot of things, but marriage material isn’t one of them. He’s been a playboy all his life, until his sister passed away and left him the sole guardian of his niece. The only promise he’s ever made was that he’d take care of little Ivy, so when his mother threatens to fight for custody if he doesn’t marry, he tells her he’s already engaged. With the clock ticking, he needs to find a bride. Can the pretty little wedding planner deliver everything she promised? After all, she did say that no request was too large.

A handsome billionaire. A beautiful bride. A dream wedding. Is it a fairytale come true or a disaster in the making?

RELEASE DAY ~ Set Free by Kelly Collins

Nov 15

Posted by


Title: SET FREE
Series: Second Chance

AUTHOR: Kelly Collins

GENRE: Contemporary romance with an 18+ warning

 

One ex-convict, one detective, one ranch, one hell of a ride.

 

When twenty-four-year-old Mickey Mercer walked out of the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility she had two things on her mind: the friends she left behind and the rough road ahead.

She had a failing ranch, a rundown home, and an angry ex-boyfriend determined to crush her.
That was until a stranger appointed himself her personal savior.
Detective McKinley’s job was to protect and serve. His life was consumed by work until he found Mickey walking down a dusty road. She was a mess and in trouble, and there was nothing sexier than trouble.
Mickey was everything he wanted, but nothing he needed.
That was the lie he told himself.

 

Set Free is a story about love, hope, and redemption.
Sometimes, people aren’t what they seem. Sometimes, they’re better.

 

 

 

 
I resigned myself to hoofing it up the road. Step by step, I distanced myself from the prison. The farther I got, the better I felt. My meager steps turned into long strides. My rounded shoulders straightened.
With each step, the dirt I kicked up buried my past.

 

Twenty minutes later, the prison faded from view. The road ahead twisted and turned with nothing in sight.
Leaving the confines of the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility,
I didn’t expect my lack of resources to confine me in a new type of hell.

 

The sun sat high in the sky and I was well on my way to sunburnt limbs.
Leaning against a signpost on the side of the road, my eyes searched for cars leaving the prison.
Maybe someone would be kind enough to give me a ride.

 

The hot breeze rattled the sign above my head.
When I looked up, I laughed. It said Correctional facility area. Do not pick up hitchhikers.
I continued on the dusty path, knowing that the universe had just flipped me off.

 

 

 

 

Kelly Collins writes with the intention of keeping the love alive.

Always a romantic, she is inspired by real time events mixed with a dose of fiction. She encourages her readers to reach the happily ever after and bask in the afterglow of the perfectly imperfect love.

Kelly lives in Colorado with her husband of twenty-five years. She loves hockey, shiny objects and has a passion for lemon drop martinis.

Sinfully sexy Miles Stevenson is a wet dream for most women. When he unexpectedly pulls Rachel Parks in for a passion filled kiss, he ends up doing more than fooling the press.

Rachel Parks is used to the opposite sex throwing themselves at her, she’s a teacher and small boys run at her all day long. What she isn’t used to, are handsome strangers pulling her aside and covering her mouth with burning hot lips. She’s prepared when it comes to little boys, but she is totally out of her element when it comes to Miles.

Rachel decides to play along with his little game. What the heck, it’s Friday, she’s been stood up and the man in front of her is irresistible and apparently available.

Incompatibility screams at every turn, but passion paves the way. Sometimes the road is far too long, but the path is shorter if you meet in the middle.

Joss Meyer has never known stability. She has a failed relationship, a dead-end job, and nowhere to live. Time is running short and with few options, and through the insistence from her online friend, Lucky, she glances through Craigslist and finds the perfect apartment, in the best neighborhood, for a price she can afford. Is it too good to be true?

Lucas Byrne believes in love at first sight and when he sees Joss, he knows she’s the one. He’s willing to do just about anything to get close to her, even if it means helping her attempt to get her cheating ex-boyfriend back. Giving her a place to stay, and skills to claim her man, he patiently hopes she finds herself in the process. But what if his risk doesn’t pay off?

Joss is uncertain of her desirability and is not sure what her future holds. Will she ever find love or is she destined to be alone? Could Lucas be her only friend in the world or will he prove to be another in a string of unreliable, untrustworthy men?

Synopsis:

New and noteworthy romance series. 

Emma is beautiful, educated, and damaged. Unavailable emotionally, she has succeeded in her job as an escort where liaisons only go as far as the length of time you purchase. In her line of work, relationships are risky. You don’t mix business with pleasure; it’s a conflict of interest. That was always the rule—until Anthony. 

Touted as one of Los Angeles’ most sought after men, Anthony is a hot commodity. A once confirmed bachelor, his tune changes once Emma comes into his life. She’s the one, and he’ll do anything to keep her. 

Hell bent on unraveling the mysteries of Emma’s life, he sets out to solve the secrets that are buried with her mother. The ghosts of Emma’s past threaten to destroy the delicate bond they have created. What he uncovers has the potential to bind them forever or break them apart. 

Fate is fickle, and not always forgiving. 

When it comes to brownie points, can you ever collect enough to erase the past?
