This Wild Heart by Karla Sorensen (Paperback)

Who forgets marrying a football player? This Wild Heart is the fifth book in Karla Sorensen’s Wilder Family series, a sexy marriage-of-convenience romance mixed with rugged small-town charm and all the heartwarming family shenanigans you could wish for.

It turns out countless shots and a bad break-up make for some questionable decision-making. So when our heroine wakes up in Vegas with a ring on her finger, lying beside a hot, very naked man, it’s rather hard to ignore. She’s married Parker Wilder. And thanks to their impulsive quickie nuptials, she’ll get her inheritance, while he’ll finally get his family and all their well-intentioned meddling off his back.

Forgetting the wedding, as it happens, was the easy part. Being married to Parker is another matter entirely. He’s simply too much of everything: chiselled-by-the-gods good-looking, heartbreakingly broody, exactly the kind of man who’ll wreck her for all others. Good thing, then, that this is all pretend. And oh, how the two of them pretend.

It’s all fun and fake marriage, right up until the day a knock at the door brings the surprise of a lifetime. Until the pretending stops, and they’re left with only one question: was any of it ever real?

Perfect for readers who love a marriage-of-convenience romance, a broody small-town hero and a fake-marriage-turns-real slow burn full of heat, heart and found family.
