Hopeless Vows
By Rachael Duncan
Contemporary Romance Standalone
Out February 22, 2016
It was a modern take on an arranged marriage that was supposed to lead to my happily ever after. The rules were simple:
1. Marry a complete stranger chosen for you by professionals.
2. Live together as man and wife for eight weeks while cameras record your every move.
3. Make a decision to stay together or get a divorce.
Call me crazy, but I had complete faith in the process, until I saw who was waiting for me at the end of the aisle.
Austin James has never met me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know him. With no other choice, I say my vows and pray I can make it through the next eight weeks. Then I’ll leave. What connects us is my best kept secret, and I’ll protect it at all costs even if that means walking away from the only person I’ve ever cared about.
"This is the
first book I've read by Rachael Duncan, but it won't be my last. I absolutely
loved this book from start to finish." - A.M. Madden, Amazon and
Barnes & Noble Best Selling Romance Author
"I can't rate
Hopeless Vows high enough and I honestly feel like this will be Rachael's
breakthrough novel that will take her places and have her name known all around
this community. Brilliant job!" -Swoon Worthy Book Blog
"I haven't had
a book hangover in so long and after reading Hopeless Vows, I did. This book is
beyond good." -Joanne Schwehm, author of the Prescott Series
"What did I
think? I'm honestly not sure I can convey what I think right now. I feel like
no matter what words I put down that it won't do this book justice." -
Books, Chocolate, and Lipgloss
"Jillian and
Austin literally sizzled on the pages. The chemistry was palpable. The
characters were well-developed and the plot was so much more than I thought it
would be." -Casey L. Bond, author of The Sin Series
"I love the
way her writing balances sexiness, humor and hurt, and I find myself able to
relate to her characters, no matter how outlandish or unconventional their
circumstances." -Give Me Books
"As an author,
it's hard for me to find a book that is unpredictable for me. Usually, I can
see twists and turns coming from a mile away, but Rachael had a couple for me I
never saw coming." -JB McGee, Best Selling Author
The longer this
experiment goes on, the more I fall for him, and the more the deceit eats at
me. When I lie awake some nights, it crawls up my body, tickling my skin,
reminding me that underneath, I’m a horrible human being. Deceitful. Cowardly. Manipulative. Selfish. All
negative adjectives, and all describe me. He’ll never find out, taunts an
inner voice. What’s worse is that it also tells me it’s okay to keep this from
him. That the two of us can live out this fantasy unscathed and content. As
delusional as my inner voice is, I find myself clinging to it like a leech,
feasting on the lie.
