"Sometimes what you need isn't what you get,
                                        it's what you already have."

                                          〰️〰️〰️

Being stuck in a people-pleasing routine is what Bayla Barclay knows best. She's got every aspect of her strained relationship down to a science. She'll wear herself away to nothing without a second thought for whoever needs it. It's what she's best at.

But maybe what you're best at isn't always what's best for you. Maybe what you need isn't what you get; it's what you already have. 

That's the difference between getting and needing.

They don't think they'll ever see each other again. Emily goes back to the privileged life with her parents. There, a plan is set up for her to marry Jason in order to save the business of both their parents. River remains in Miami with his little sister, while struggling to provide a living for them both. It is then that he gets the chance of a lifetime, but it means giving up everything he loves. Then, against all expectations, Emily and River meet again a few months later... On her wedding day with someone else. ***** Featured on WattPad's @StoriesUndiscovered Featured on WattPad's @NA First place Lavender Awards First place Honour Awards First place Glitter Awards First place Blue Rose Awards First place Acheron Awards Second place The Soul Awards Honorable Mention Ohana Awards #8 in #youngromance (September 4, 2020) Cover by @dysanic "So awesome. Can't wait to read more! [heart]" - carolinegraced "I'm so hooked already" - a_lost_feather "From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0

~~ Book 3 of The Marrying You Series. This can be read as a stand alone but I recommened you read the other two books too. ~~ Vanessa Brady is thirty and single. Her brother is happily married to an amazing woman and no one was more shocked by it than her but, while everyone around her seems to be moving on with life, she has remained where she has always been. When one Friday night turns into a sad pity party, Vanessa finds herself agreeing to something she would never before be caught dead doing but... desperate times call for desperate measures. The advertisement didn't promise any success of being chosen but, the prize was worth the gamble. The game was simple, agree to marry a complete stranger on live television and allow the world to watch your first year of marriage. If you succeed in lasting that long, the prize of one million dollars is yours to spend. On the day of her wedding, no one is more disappointed than her at her new husband Jonah. He is nothing like the men she goes for but she wants the prize. It all seems rather easy but Vanessa will soon learn that the first year is always the hardest and it's only made worse with a stranger. With cameras and the country watching their relationship, can Vanessa find a level of normal anywhere? What happens when her ex boyfriend and the father of her child suddenly reappears swearing to get her back? Vanessa may just learn something along the way but, on her quest to win, she may just end up losing a lot more than she hoped. Highest rank: #63 in Chicklit
