Story
My marriage started as a lie. But some lies are worth telling. My father’s dying wish was to walk me down the aisle, so when my fiancé jilts me days before the ceremony, I turn to my college friend, Oliver Parkerson, and convince him to marry me. My family hasn’t met either man, so I’m confident we can pull this off. But the way my heart beats for him - none of it feels pretend. I didn't mean to fall for my fake husband, but love was the one thing I couldn't predict. Nothing built on lies can last - I know that better than anyone. But the truth might tear us apart forever.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

One word. Stay. It was all he had to do. Instead, he got on that bus and took my heart with him. That was 17 years ago. I moved on. Marriage. Kids. White picket fence. Everything I ever wanted, but my husband betrayed me and I was left once again.

Story
In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don’t fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He’s gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own.

I wasn’t looking for a hero, and definitely not one who looks like him. An obscenely hot mountain of a man who screams danger. But I have little choice other than climbing onto the back of his bike.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Corinne Michaels returns to Willow Creek Valley in this stunning surprise baby/unrequited love romance.
I was totally over Joshua Parkerson.
Sure, I had a teenage crush on him way back when - and everyone knew it - but he never saw me as anything but his little brother's friend, the girl who got tongue-tied any time he walked into a room.
I had long ago accepted the fact that his strong arms would never hold me, his lush lips would never claim mine, and his blue eyes would never see me as anything more than who I used to be.
But now he's back in Willow Creek Valley, and there's a brand-new spark between us - even he can't fight it. Our chemistry is explosive, and every time we're together, I swear I can feel the earth shake.
It doesn't mean anything...how could it? I'm over him.
Until I see that little pink plus sign, and the earth stops turning completely.
Now I want it all again, a life with him. But Joshua built walls around his heart for a reason, and his secrets haunt him.
How can I show him that the ghosts of his past don't have to define our new family's future?

Sorry, but it’s a no :-(
So disappointed. I love Corinne Michaels. I was very much looking forward to her new book and thrilled it was narrated by Connor Crais, but even Connor couldn’t make me listen after 2 hours. Two hours of a woman repeatedly saying (after pining for a man for 15 years) that she’s “over him” and repeatedly having sex with him. And 2 hours of the man telling her it can’t be anything more than sex. It’s like a college freshman wrote this book.
I wasted my credit :-(, and Audible credits are not cheap when you listen to a new book every other day.

Awesome Story!
I was so ready for this book until I started to read it. I knew there would be tears but I wasn't sure if I was ready for them. This author has a way of ripping out your heart with each story she writes but she will always put it back together (at least in the stories I have read so far)
Delia has loved Josh since she was you and he never noticed her. When he moved away, she thought she was free to move on and forget the love she had for him. But he moves back to Willow Creek Valley and those feelings she thought were gone, comes crashing back the moment she sees him.
These Parkerson kids have one way to love, all the way or not at all. With Josh, it is not at all, because with his past he doesn't deserve to be happy.
When things change for Josh and Delia, can they accept them and move forward together? Or will Josh continue to believe he doesn't deserve to be happy?
As I said, this story will rip your heart out, stomp on it, and then author Corinne Michaels will put it back together. It is the perfect mixture of a perfectly wonderful story and I can not wait to read her next one, whether in this series or any of her other books.
The narration by Andi Arndt and Connor Crais was great too.

Mixed feelings!!
Let me start by saying I LOVE this series. That being said I didn’t love this book, I just couldn’t connect with the characters it wasn’t the narrators cause Andi is an automatic buy for me. Connor Crais is fairly new to me, but I enjoyed him.
Can’t wait to see how it all ends!!!

Love
AMAZING! I don’t know how Corinne can break my heart (and put back together) with every book! Josh & Delia are absolutely perfect together! Coming back to Willow Creek Valley has forced the Parkerson siblings to face a lot of realities. Josh is forced to admit his past and the reality that there is no staying away from Delia. Delia thinks she can be friends with Josh, despite being in love with him for years. Reality hits them both when after a few rendezvous, Delia is pregnant with twins. There are so many heartfelt moments between them during her pregnancy. Delia and the babies help Josh learn to trust himself again until tragedy strikes. Learning to love and trust again is pivotal for them to move forward together. Love this couple and their family!

Relationships Take Strength
I would never have stuck with it like she did. But that’s exactly what it takes. For two people to come together and try not to let their prior lives interfere as in this case is a real hardship. I would never have stuck it out like her. I would have told the guy to hit the road jack and don’t come back no more no more. But it looks like it turned out to be close to a happy ending. I say close only because we know in real life he would constantly repeat himself and drive her nuts to the end.

A little Disappointed
First let me say I love Corrine Michael’s, she is an excellent story teller;however often I feel so sad listening to her stories and this one was the worst. Still a good story I wouldn’t pass it up but the hero in this story needs to get over himself.

Delia was very well written in the story. I just love her her crazy funniness is something that you can't forget so to see that she got her own book I was really excited and as typical Corinne Michaels, I love this story I've read it so many times I could probably read it verbatim. the best part about this book besides the story are the narrator's the narrators are awesome

♥️♥️♥️ All the Feels❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful book that gave me all the feels! Warning, if you’re triggered by the loss of a child, this book may not be for you. That said, Michaels created a more angsty storyline in this book compared to the first two in the series, in my opinion. Characters are well-developed, and the MCs have a beautiful HEA. Some events overlap in the Willow Creek Valley series, so it’s much more satisfying when read in order. Narration is stellar throughout the series!

Hi I have throughly enjoyed all the books in these series, but this one was out of sequence. Could not sometimes distinguish the characters via audible. Plan to buy hard copies of the whole series and reread. Last book next in series don’t miss, as it was very moving.
