Maggie Mitchell has worked hard to build her event-planning business, and after years of putting everyone else's celebrations first, she's finally taking a well-deserved vacation in Bora Bora. That plan lasts until Brody McFadden arrives. He's her brother's best friend, her longtime nemesis, and the man she has been determined to avoid ever since one disastrous kiss years ago.

When Maggie discovers that Brody is attending a high-profile destination wedding that could transform her business, she sees an opportunity she can't afford to pass up. There's just one problem. To land the job as a bridesmaid and planner, she needs to pretend Brody is her boyfriend. Even worse, he needs a place to stay, which means her peaceful bungalow is suddenly shared with the one man guaranteed to ruin her vacation.

The Vibe

Maggie is ambitious, capable, and fiercely independent, determined to prove herself as an event planner while refusing to let her complicated history with Brody derail her plans. What starts as a professional opportunity quickly becomes much more personal when old feelings and unresolved questions resurface.

Brody is confident, competitive, and frustratingly charming, with years of bickering with Maggie hiding an attraction neither of them has been willing to confront. Forced to live together and play the part of a couple, their familiar arguments become charged with chemistry as they finally uncover the truth behind their infamous first kiss.

Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Bora Bora, Bridesmaid for Hire delivers fake dating, forced proximity, destination-wedding chaos, and plenty of laughs and heat. It's a playful, steamy romantic comedy for readers who love sworn enemies discovering that their biggest irritation might also be their greatest temptation.
