ABOUT THE BOOK


Recently widowed Sara Ness moves to Cliffside Bay to hide from her painful past and the scandal that cost her far too much. With a baby daughter to raise alone, the peaceful privacy of small town life, and the comfort of the local grief support group, are just what the heiress needs. But when her inheritance is jeopardized by her new marital status, Sara is forced to make a deal with the only suitable candidate available. And for the next year she's paying for the pleasure of pretending to be married to the one man in town she simply cannot stand.

In the wake of his wife's death, architect David Perry accepts a job at Wolf Enterprises and promptly moves his children to be near what's left of their family. Though work and the kids are more than enough to fill David's days, his quiet, lonely nights force him to seek the help of the local grief support group. And when the spoiled Sara Ness proposes a partnership that promises to be lucrative for them both, David agrees to her terms and discovers that his fake bride just might hold the key to his future happiness.

The final installment of the wildly popular Cliffside Bay Series weaves a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers meets marriage-of-convenience tale in the style readers have grown to expect from USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson, with richly developed characters, a setting to marvel at, and the ultimate life lesson about true love's never-ending ability to bridge the gaps that we frequently allow to divide us.

About Tess

USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson writes small-town romances and historical romance. She started her writing career in fourth grade when she wrote a story about an orphan who opened a pizza restaurant.

With a degree from the University of Southern California in theater, she’s spent her adult life studying story, word craft, and character. Since 2011, she’s published 24 novels and 5 novellas. Most days she spends at her desk chasing her daily word count or rewriting a terrible first draft.
She currently lives in a suburb of Seattle, Washington with her husband, the hero of her own love story, and their Brady Bunch clan of two sons, two daughters and five cats. Yes, that's four kids and five cats.

I have absolutely LOVED this series and am so sorry to see it end. There are lots of new characters introduced in this story but they will be part of the authors new series. So we still get to see these characters in her new series.

That said we get to catch up with all the older characters in this series and see what their future holds. I loved that part of the book.  This is a essentially an enemies to lovers and fake marriage with kids on both sides romance. And it was awesome.

Sara is a heart broken woman as is David. They both have dead spouses who betrayed them in the worst ways and they are both so angry. Enter Ria, who starts a bereavement group and thats where they start talking.

David and Sara have known each other a while. Sara is Autumn's wealthy best friend with an infant who built a gorgeous mansion iin town. David, is the twin brother of Lisa whose wife was a drug dealer and who was murdered and left him with two young children. He is an architect and he designed Sara's house. They both don't liike each other because they have mistaken ideas about the other.

As they meet in the group they form a very slow friendship from mutual understanding. I loved how we get to see them start to open up to the other. This was a wonderful end to this story and I am so happy that David and Sara found a happily ever after after their painful past.
