Spencer:
When I woke to my phone ringing at 5 am on a Sunday—my only day off—it was safe to say I wasn’t impressed. Glancing down at the screen and seeing it was my mother, I answered the call with an abrupt, “Somebody better be dead.”

“After the relationship status you were tagged in on Facebook, no less, I very well could be,” was her reply.

Relationship status?

With who?

I immediately clicked on the app, only to find it was true.

Delilah St. James had one of those faces that was hard to forget, and I knew I’d never laid eyes on this pretty blonde with beautiful blue eyes before.

I could’ve let my assistant, my PR company, or my lawyer deal with it, but against my better judgment, I clicked on the messenger app.

“Do I know you?” I typed.

Delilah:
When my sister decided to post photos of her—on what was supposed to be my honeymoon—with my ex-fiancé on social media, I did something reckless and impulsive. I tagged her long-time crush, Spencer Prescott, in a fake relationship post.

The last thing I expected was for him to reach out.

I apologised profusely and told him I’d take it down immediately, briefly explaining why I had done it, and he replied with something unexpected.

“Leave it up, what can it hurt?”

Minutes later, I got a friend request from his mother … immediately inviting me to brunch. I only agreed to go, so I could tell her the truth to her face.

What happened next was a domino effect that would change the course of all our lives.

About the author

J. L. Perry

I am a 42 year old mother from Sydney Australia, with a 9 year old son. I have always had a passion for reading, which helped to inspire me to write my first romance novel, My Destiny. The follow up book in the Destiny series is My Forever. I am currently writing my third book, which is a stand alone, and will available later this year.

I am happily married, and my husband, son, extended family and my pets are my life. I'm blessed to have great family and friends and a good support network. My hobbies are: Reading of course, writing, shopping, cooking and spending time with my family and friends.

I love writing about romance, because I believe that all love stories are beautiful and I'm also a sucker for happy endings. The thing I love most about writing is that no matter how troubled someone is, or how bad their past has been, you have the power to give them the happily ever after they deserve.

I hope you all enjoy reading my books, as much as i enjoyed writing them. x
