Entirely happy.
Entirely blissful.
Entirely in love.
Brad had unlocked my heart and soul, and he was the only one who had a key.
This time, I couldn’t hide a thing. My smile was blinding.

PROLOGUE
Marry Me for Money
The woman was beautiful. She looked like a supermodel ready to walk the runway. The blackest of black eyelashes swept upward, accenting the depths of her emerald eyes. Curls of mahogany sat on top of her head while the apple of her cheeks were highlighted with a slight pink as if the sun had kissed her.
I should have been excited. I should have been anxious.
But as my heartbeat thrashed in my ears, all I felt was dread.
I sat on the stool, staring at the girl in the mirror. I wondered who this girl was. I wondered where the old girl had gone and how I could get her back. The problem was I couldn’t. The lie was so deep, the charade so long that there was nowhere else to go, but to move forward.
It was an out-of-body experience as the chaos of the circus around me was happening. I hardly noticed the woman in front of me as she swished her little brush of pink gloss on my pouty lips.
Everybody was getting ready for the big day.
My big day.
Four photographers were scattered around the room, catching every moment and every detail from the shoes to the invitation to the flowers.
Orchids.
Orchids didn’t give off a scent like every other flower. Too much water would drown them. Not enough sunlight would kill them. They were useless and high maintenance.
So, when the florist had asked me what kind of flowers I would like for my bouquet, I’d said, “Orchids.”
It was the flower I despised the most. It wasn’t because of its lack of beauty or its uselessness, but I didn’t want anything that I would pick for my real day.
The photographers moved to the king-sized bed, and they snapped pictures of the regal designer wedding gown. This was another thing I never would have picked for myself. I remembered my last fitting. I had barely squeezed into the strapless couture dress. I would never choose a dress that I couldn’t walk, dance, or eat in. I hated it, and that was the reason I’d picked it.
My stomach growled from starvation. I had no appetite the night before, and today Kendy, my maid of honor, wouldn’t allow me to eat. It was so unlike her. I guessed it was for my benefit because I could barely fit into my dress. Either way, my stomach was eating itself because it had nothing else to feed off of.
The time went by slowly as if it were dragging on purpose to punish me for living the biggest lie of my life. Everyone always said their wedding day had flown by. This day was killing me, killing me softly and slowly.
All I wanted was for it to be over, but the day had just begun.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. If I can only get through this day…this one day…
I just needed to get through today.

Acknowledgments
And so….
Another book is under my belt. Wooo hooo!
Thank you God for my vivid imagination and creative mind that allows me to produce these stories so that I can entertain.
Release month is hectic and as I sit here, at Starbucks I realize that I haven’t seen my family all day. I left at five in the morning to go to my day job and straight to Starbucks to work on this release. So you know who is manning the house full of girls? The Hubs. So I should thank him, right? It’s the wifely thing to do.
To the hubs—Thank you for dealing with my issues on a daily basis, packing my lunch everyday and loving me unconditionally even when I’m a brat. I swear, if I ever get rich and famous or win the lotto, I’m retiring him.
It takes a team to get this done and I want to thank everyone that has helped me make this book the best it can be.
To my writer friends who listen to me vent daily and help me promote — To Michelle, Tracey, Danielle, Jaimie, Erica, Jenny and Kristy L. True loyal writer friends are hard to find. I only have a few and I’m keeping you close and never letting go.
To every DND author and Support! author that has answered my questions and let me pop in their group—thank you.
To my beta readers—To Michelle, Kristy, Alyssa, Megan, and Amy. Thank you for your honest feed back and helping me in strengthening the story. You guys spent the time out of your day to read, analyze and answer all my questions and I appreciate you. To Elizabeth and Norma, thank you for being my ‘last look’ before it went out to the world.
To my family at Do Not Disturb Book Club and Support!. Thanks for giving me a place to meet new readers, share my ARCs and answer all my questions. To Kate for doing my amazing teasers. I heart you.
To my PA—Elizabeth, you keep me organized and sane and happy. I appreciate everything you do for me.
To my developmental editor, Megan— I heart you so much. So much! Thank you for helping me flesh out these characters and for always being honest with me even when the truth hurts. And now that you’ve left me, I feel lost. You had to have another baby, didn’t you? And she’s beautiful just like her mama.
To my cover designer—Juliana, you’ve got talent and so much patience. Thank you for putting up with me and for my stunning cover.
To the bloggers that have consistently supported me from my very first book to now. I heart you! Thank you for following me on this journey.
Last but not least to my readers— From those who have followed me from my very first book and to the new readers, thank you! thank you! thank you! I write for you.
