Is age really just nothing but a number?
It depends on who you ask.
Sayer
Sayer Hayes was rocking the hell out of his adult life. At thirty-five, he'd given up on apartments and was finally a homeowner and was proud of it. He was also one of Silias County's best firefighters, and he was one of the best they had. With a great family, two annoying but loyal brothers, and a satisfying career, Sayer had it made. The man really had nothing to complain about.
Monroe
Monroe Stewart was kind of rocking the hell out of her adult life. Knocking on forty's door, she had her own home but that was a result of her divorce. As far as her career was concerned, her promotion to one of Silias County's building inspectors had come just in time to start the new phase of her life. Though she's had to adjust to a lot of changes, she was doing her best to welcome the new changes.
When age is just a number...
When Sayer overhears Monroe's ex-husband accuse her of still pining over him, Sayer steps in and lies his ass off, hoping Monroe will just go with it. Hoping that the hero role will win him some points, all he needs is to get his foot in the door to finally make Monroe Stewart his.
When Monroe's ex-husband accuses her of still pining over him, she's too stunned by his audacity to stop Sayer Hayes from jumping into the mess of her dead marriage. Letting pride decide for her, she follows her sexy neighbor's lead, not suspecting that he has ulterior motives in mind.
Between a crappy ex-husband, an emotional teenage daughter, a conniving co-worker, a matchmaking best friend, two idiot brothers, a station full of firefighters, a nosey neighbor, and a wedding-planning fireman whose determination rivals Stalin, Sayer and Monroe have their work cut out for them.
NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, and an out-of-control wedding planner. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.

How to Annoy Your Fiancé (and Still Look Fabulous)
Their engagement was written before either of them learned to spell the word commitment. A promise between two powerful families: the Astorés and the D'Ardens - one built on legacy, money, and a total lack of consent from the actual bride. Marisse Astoré never asked to be anyone's future wife. Especially not to him - Lucan D'Arden, the older, colder, ridiculously composed man she was technically promised to since childhood. He's thirty-something, emotionally constipated, and looks like he was carved out of marble by someone who hates fun. She barely remembers him, which, frankly, is her favorite thing about him. But then her twentieth birthday arrives with the kind of "surprise" only rich parents can afford: She's being shipped off to Halberd City for university... and, oh yes, she'll be living with her fiancé. In his house. Under his rules. With his perfect jawline and annoyingly calm voice that somehow makes her want to scream and throw things. Lucan D'Arden, on the other hand, expected his fiancée to be a polite inconvenience - something he could quietly ignore while continuing his perfectly controlled, emotionally frostbitten existence. But then Marisse walks in with her sarcasm, her chaos, and her habit of calling him "old man" before breakfast. Suddenly, his orderly world has a heartbeat... and it's loud. But when Marisse discovers his oh-so-well-hidden secret - a forbidden affair with another woman - she doesn't break down. She grins. Because if life gives you betrayal, you turn it into leverage. Now, what was supposed to be a dignified engagement has turned into a psychological rom-com warzone. He wants restraint. She wants revenge (and maybe another cup of his expensive coffee). Between stolen glances, biting words, and way too much tension for two people "not in love," one thing becomes painfully clear: Someone's about to lose control. And it definitely won't be her.
