For a chance to save his daughter, he’ll do whatever it takes…

Sebastian Voss has spent the last three years fighting for custody of the little girl who means everything to him. Between a narcissistic ex-wife, her new fiancé, and a steady stream of damaging headlines painting him as the NHL’s favorite womanizing disaster, Sebastian is running out of options.

Then he lands on one reckless, desperate solution. He needs a wife.

Kat Morrison should be the last woman he asks. He barely knows anything about her except for her storm-gray eyes, freckles, and captivating aura.

But Sebastian has been gone for her since the moment they met, and if marrying Kat gives him a better chance at keeping his daughter safe, he’ll risk everything.

Even his heart.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, she’s been forced to write the lies that have damaged Sebastian’s reputation and cost him chance after chance in court. Blackmailed into obedience to save her brother’s life, Kat has become the weapon aimed straight at the only man who’s ever made her feel safe.

Now she’s living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy.

But the closer Sebastian and Kat get, the harder it becomes to tell where the lie ends and forever begins.

And when the truth finally comes out, Sebastian could lose more than custody of his daughter.

He could lose the woman he’s loved all along.

Eden Sloane believes the best love stories aren't about perfect people. They're about imperfect people who keep choosing each other, even after the truth changes everything.

She writes emotionally charged contemporary romance featuring devoted heroes, resilient heroines, impossible choices, and love worth risking everything for. Her stories celebrate the courage it takes to love completely.

When she's not plotting emotional damage (followed by well-earned happily ever afters), Eden can usually be found gardening, trying to win an ongoing battle with the weeds in her yard, drinking far too much caffeine, enjoying a nightcap while watching BBC crime dramas with her husband, and keeping tabs on her four children.

And if you're reading this during the winter, please send warm thoughts. Eden is somewhere in the Midwest, questioning every life choice that led her to a place where the air hurts her face.

Release & Review for Forever with the CEO by Layla Hagen

FOREVER WITH THE CEO

Layla Hagen

Release Date: January 31

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

It began as a fake marriage. It became so much more.

I’m Nick Whitley, CEO of Whitley Sports Industries. I’m a bonafide bachelor, and never intended to settle down. But I’m also a dependable kind of guy and do what’s right when I can.

So when my best friend and his wife pass away, leaving behind their twins, I do everything possible to help out their aunt—Allison . She’s gorgeous and funny and someone I enjoy being around .

I even propose marriage when the kids’ grandparents unexpectedly contest the custody. It’s the only way Allison can win.

To make things legitimate, we need to live in one home, and sleep in one bed. Things escalate, but I’m all in. Not that it’s any hardship—Allison is damn perfect, and the twins are worming their way into my heart. I enjoy reading them bedtime stories, eating pizza, while watching the same cartoons for the millionth time. I’m ready to adopt them tomorrow if they’d have me.

Now I’ve got to convince Allison that I’m the man for her, because I know without a shadow of a doubt that she’s the woman for me.

We enjoyed Nick and Allison's story although the backdrop was heartbreaking and tragic it was also fun and flirty. It made us laugh and the ending had us shedding tears.

Allison's niece and nephew were heartthrobs and not help but fall in love with them. We love Nick's family every one of them especially Gran she is a sly one.

Who were they kidding that they could skate through this fake marriage business any time they were together they fought the chemistry between them. When together their chemistry was off the chart and perfect for one another. So sexy together!

Overall we loved this story, especially for the fact that Allison put her kids first and loved them with everything she had. The story had its ups and downs because of Nora's nasty inlaws but, Nick and his family were to support this couple no matter what. We loved how the story came together and no matter how Nick and Allison came to be what was between them was worth fighting for. Also, we just love swoony characters like Nick to good be true but, in the end, he proved his worth.

He's devious, and my soon to be husband.

I didn't choose him.

I was coerced.

Whiskey has a way of manipulating me. He knows that I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family.

He's found my weakness and he's exploiting it. Seizing as he sees as his opportunity.

Now, I'm his wife for the next year.

I'm counting down the days until my time is up.

Until I'm free.

When he's near, I want him to stay.

I hate that I love being married to my devious husband.
