Here's Lily Morton's latest: "Paper Roses." It's the third novel in her Confetti Hitched series.
["Jed Walker thinks he’s having a midlife crisis. The only trouble is that it feels too good to stop.
Widowed at a young age, he’s spent his life since then avoiding any relationships that might end up hurting him again. He has his successful wedding planning business, Confetti Hitched, and a series of uncomplicated hookups, and that’s all he needs in life
The one person disrupting this controlled stoicism is his younger assistant, Artie. He’s sweet and kind and has a funny way of calming Jed’s mind. So, when Artie comes to him with a problem, Jed moves heaven and earth to help, which is how he finds himself entering a fake marriage with the younger man and catching feelings. Too bad it’s all pretend. Or is it?"]
My GOD! The pining and angst from Artie was real. I was sooo close to sobbing soooooo many times. Thank you for the extra layer of anxiety. And the red eyes. I wasn’t kidding about the sobbing; almost every Artie chapter ended in me crying.
But Jed eventually wavered and softened. He was falling for Artie before he knew which way was up.
Trigger Warnings: death of a spouse (past and off-page), death of a parent (past and off-page), parental abandonment, toxic step parent, manipulation, and more.
