A Sudden Spark — Liwen Y. Ho

He's a writer too shy to speak to women. She's a single mom who's sworn off men. Little do they know how much a marriage of convenience will shake up their lives.

Brandon Spark may know a thing or two about women as a romance author, but his real love life proves otherwise. Between his hang-up over a college friend and bouts with social anxiety, dating is the last thing on his mind … until he runs into his old crush.

Hair stylist Bria Montgomery made some major mistakes a decade ago -- wandering from her faith, then getting pregnant and dropping out of college. She's desperate to leave her past -- and the men from it -- behind, but it's impossible when they keep showing up in her life.

Brandon can't believe he has a second chance with his first love; Bria can't fathom ever falling for a guy she friend-zoned years ago. When an unexpected custody battle forces them to become husband and wife, things get intense and personal -- fast. Will this sudden change end their friendship or spark a lasting romance?
