Illegally Wedded by Jennifer Griffith He needs a promotion. She needs to stay in the country. Piper Quinn has a great thing going. She’s young, talented, and the sole chef at Du Jour, San Antonio’s hottest lunch bistro. She and her business partner just have to stay open one year to be eligible for the coveted Texas Star. Days before eligibility though, Piper gets terrible news: she’s getting deported. To New Zealand. Where her parents have joined a hobbit cult. Attorney Zach Travis can’t seem to break into the partnership bracket at his big, respected firm—despite his stellar record. Then, Zach hears a rumor his bachelor status may be holding him back, and he needs a wife to advance his career. The girl at the bistro is an intriguing candidate. As Piper shares her desperate plea for legal help, Zach realizes he can fix both their dilemmas—with a marriage certificate. However, their plan puts them in the cross-hairs of more than one vindictive enemy. Worse, neatly ending their marriage may be tricky due to a sparking chemistry neither Zach nor Piper can ignore.
“I have to really love a book to give the perfect 5 stars but this one deserved it! …Well written characters and plot. Would DEFINITELY recommend this book.” –Melanie Pontius
“If I could I would give this 10 stars - or one BIG Texas Star (read the book you'll see why that's important). Such a compelling situation and full as life characters. I even found myself dreaming about Piper and Zack one night. And the ending - so full of all the right feels I had tears in my eyes.” – NMW
“This book had me mad at my phone for not holding a charge just a little longer!” –LC
“Everything about this book is brilliant ... the characters, the story, the food, the twists and the romance. Add the exceptional, funny and original support characters and stories .. biker granny, Hobbits, tiny dog, Neil Diamond ... and you have a beautifully written, clever, clean romance that you won't want to put down. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it is a definite must read for everyone.” - lcr
Excerpt #1 “That leaves you with the one glaring choice remaining, marriage.” The word made Zach’s mouth go unexpectedly dry, and his heart started pounding, neither of which effects he’d anticipated. After countless court appearances and arguments in front of judges and the wealthiest property owners of the largest state in the continental U.S., he’d never gotten wobbly like this.
But he re-collected his chutzpah, pressing back the nerves that he refused to let dominate.
“And if you’ll have me,” he cleared his throat, Piper's pure green eyes suddenly glued to him and making his heart thunder, “that marriage could be to me.”
The words bounced across the water like a dragonfly, zipping away, never to return.
