    About this audiobook

    Buying a lotto ticket with her two best friends didn't change Zoe's life. Only following her heart would do that . . .

    Sure, winning the lottery allows Zoe Ferris to quit her job as a cutthroat corporate attorney, but no amount of cash will clear her conscience about the way her firm treated the O'Leary family in a wrongful death case. So she sets out to make things right, only to find gruff, grieving Aiden O'Leary doesn't need-or want-her apology. He does, however, need something else from her. Something Zoe is more than willing to give, if only to ease the pain in her heart, a sorrow she sees mirrored in his eyes . . .

    Aiden doesn't know what possesses him to ask his family's enemy to be his fake fiancee. But he needs a bride if he hopes to be the winning bid on the campground he wants to purchase as part of his beloved brother's legacy. Skilled in the art of deception, the cool beauty certainly fits the bill. Only Aiden didn't expect all the humor and heart Zoe brings to their partnership-or the desire that runs deep between them. Now he's struggling with his own dark truth-that he's falling for the very woman he vowed never to forgive.

    Contains mature themes.

      Zoe Ferris quits her job as an attorney after winning the lottery with her two friends but doesn't quite know what to do with herself. She decides on a redemption tour, apologizing to those that she thinks she wronged in her law career. Unfortunately, Aiden O'Leary doesn't want to hear her until he decides she would be perfect as the fake fiancee he needs to obtain a summer camp to memorialize his dead brother. Out of guilt (and some lust), Zoe decides to go along with the deception.I didn't like this book as much as the first. Zoe can be abrasive and Aiden's deception was distasteful, especially since it involved people he'd known for a long time. It's still a good read, and I enjoyed the glimpses of Kit and Ben from the first book. I'm looking forward to the third book.

      I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.Zoe has quit her job as a lawyer after winning the lottery. She has not been happy in her work for some time and her final case, in which she acted for a pharmaceutical company reaching a settlement effectively setting a value on the life of Aaron O'Leary, was one she feels especially guilty about. In fact, Zoe feels guilt and regret for many things in her past and writes them all down, so she can work through them and try to make restitution. She therefore calls at Aaron O'Leary's parents' home to apologize to them, but instead runs into his brother Aiden, who treats her with disdain. Yes, this was all pretty depressing.Then there is Aiden, who spent years trying to save Aaron from the consequences of drug addiction, only to lose him to a drug that was mean to help. Aiden and his parents are grieving and angry, especially with Zoe. (This seemed a little odd to me - why didn't they focus their anger on the drug company? Why did their lawyer leave them to negotiate with Zoe, rather than doing it for them?) Aiden tells Zoe she can help him by pretending to be his fiancee so he can use the settlement money to buy the campsite he and Aaron went to as children and turn it into a camp for recovering addicts. This was also depressing.The story itself was well-written and the secondary characters (competitors to buy the camp) and many of the scenes set at the camp at weekends were entertaining and almost amusing. I liked Zoe and thought she was a coherent and thoughtful character. Aiden was rude and withdrawn, before softening to become shy and withdrawn. I found him hard to like, despite the fact that we had alternating chapters from his point of view. He failed to stand up for Zoe when it mattered; I think she deserved a better man.
