Just My Luck

Unexpected Sparks and a Slow Burn

Unexpected sparks ignite a slow burn in this grumpy/sunshine workplace romance when a single mom proposes a marriage of convenience to save her boss's brewery.

Fans and Series

Fans of Lucy Score, Elsie Silver, Carley Fortune, and B.K. Borrison will find their next obsession with this second standalone in bestselling author Lena Hendrix's spicy, emotional, deeply romantic Kings Series set in small town Michigan.

The Premise

You might think it's reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss. You would be correct. To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud.

Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I'm lucky if I can get a grunt in response. When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he's having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.

The arrangement is perfect — a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates. I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says ';my wife' and tingles dance in all the right places.

The Twist

Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that's just my luck . . .
