Calloway Rhodes has one rule: never fall in love. After losing her father at a young age, Callie built walls around her heart, especially after watching her mom struggle to keep it all together. Love, for her, is something messy-something that only leads to heartbreak. So, she keeps things light, easy and most important - uncomplicated.

That all changes when she meets Oliver Hayes.

The Aussie is everything Callie tells herself to avoid. After accidentally spending the night together, she swears it was nothing more than a momentary lapse in judgment. No harm, no foul, since she'll never see him again. 

Six months later, he reappears in her life-not as the guy she almost hooked up with-but as her sister's fiance.

And now Callie's world is turned upside down. She can't deny the chemistry between them, but she's determined to keep her distance. She could never do that to her sister, despite how absolutely awful her sister has always treated her. Besides, Callie made her peace with never having real love, and she's not about to let Oliver break down the walls she's spent years building. But the more she fights her feelings, the harder it becomes to resist them.

Oliver is patient-too patient. He won't push her, but he's always there, waiting, watching, giving her space to figure out what she wants. As Callie tries to keep him at arm's length, she realizes she's not the only one with a past that shapes the present.

But when the engagement starts to feel off, will Callie confront the truth about her feelings for Oliver before it's too late? Or will Oliver be forced to choose between the woman he thought he could tolerate a future with and the one he can't help but be drawn too?

A compelling journey of love, loss, and complicated family dynamics, Before You Say I do is an emotional, slow-burn romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you root for Callie to confront her deepest desires and fight for the love that's slipping through her fingers.

This book is the first in the 'Wrong Girl' series and available to buy on Amazon. "You don't think I know how messed up this is? You think I don't know how sick and twisted it is of me to want you? I know this is wrong. I know I shouldn't even be thinking about you in this way but that doesn't change the fact that I do! Samantha, I want you every second of every minute of every day and it's killing me. We belong together and nothing you say or do is going to convince me otherwise. When I'm with her... I'm aching for you, I physically hurt because I can't be with you and I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do to make this right! You're driving me insane and I'm seriously close to losing my mind if you tell me I can't have one more night with you. You're not the wrong girl, Samantha, she is." - Zack. "There are roughly seven billion people in the world. Seven billion people and I've somehow managed to fall in love with the only person I can't have. The only man on this earth who I can't be with and who I should never, ever want. He's my soul mate, my saviour and the only man I need. He's also my sister's fiancé." - Samantha. Samantha is 23 and broken. She's always been the one and only disappointment within her superficial and judgemental family. Over the years she's given up on the idea of pleasing them, the only one who's ever treated her fairly is Rachel and that's why she doesn't mind when all of the praise and glory is bestowed upon her older and extremely beautiful sister. She has never envied Rachel before... until now. Samantha feels something for her sister's fiancé from the first moment that she sees him. He's kind, gentle, unbelievably gorgeous and incredibly off-limits. She knows she shouldn't want him but no matter what she does she can't seem to get him out of her head. Of course all of the guilt and emotional torment that she's dealing with is pointless because he doesn't feel the same way about her... does he?
