Tell us about your newest release.
Hudson thought she’d be walking down the aisle with one man but instead found an unexpected surprise. She learned that sometimes the best things in life come when you least expect them. But when she receives a series of incriminating photographs of her fiancé cheating the night before their wedding, her dreams of a perfect life are shattered. Their Honeymoon was planned for Hawaii… and with her relationship in shambles, Hudson seizes the chance for a much-needed getaway. But after she accidentally oversleeps, she’s left scrambling to make the flight in time – and she stumbles into a charming and handsome man in the hotel lounge. Imagine her surprise when they’re double-booked into the same room. Caught up in an embarrassing situation, Grayson poses as her boyfriend to ward off her fiancé… but nothing can cool off the simmering sexual tension between the pair. There’s only one problem. Hudson is about to make a shocking discovery – and when she does, it could blow apart her budding relationship with Grayson forever.
