La Vie en Rose

About this book

Emma Sanders has always dreamt of being a bride, wearing fancy gowns, pretty pearls, and--of course--falling madly in love. Then life happened. Finding herself one fiance short of her happily ever after, she leaves the fairytales behind. Some days are simply too perilous for pink gowns and pearls. Riley Lockhart is the sort of man who can make a girl lower her gaze with only a smile. That he doesn't realize his charm makes him all the more enchanting. Determined to save Emma the pain of her breakup, he steps in as a friend, but soon finds himself wanting more. She was just a girl, but she somehow winds up being the strongest woman he's ever known. Losing her is not an option and when life can't be tied neatly in a pretty little bow, he holds tight to all that he knows--his Emma. His hero. Sometimes the greatest scars are worn on the inside.
