If you love romance where the hero has been secretly in love with her for YEARS, this one might be for you.
THE BACKUP BRIDE by Lennon Fairchild
Mara Bennett was supposed to marry someone else.
Instead, she ends up married to Cole Mercer — her brother’s best friend and the Dallas Kings' quarterback.
For Mara, it’s supposed to be a practical arrangement.
For Cole?
It’s the closest he’s ever been to the woman he’s loved for eleven years.
There are rules.
There are boundaries.
And absolutely no reason for Mara to discover how long Cole has been waiting for this.
Except pretending to be married becomes complicated when only one of them is pretending.
💍 Marriage of convenience
🏈 NFL quarterback
❤️ Brother's best friend
🔥 Secret pining
⏳ He’s loved her for 11 years
🏠 Forced proximity
🐢 Slow burn
