The Marriage Deadline — Maggie West

Life doesn't always work out exactly how we plan.

If it's not on the calendar, it doesn't exist. Jill Johnson works hard. That's how she got to her current position at Pinnacle Productions. She has money, talent, guts, and grit, but what she lacks is, of course, what she wants most: a husband. Unfortunately, husband hunting's not on the calendar, so there's no time for it.

But what if it was on the calendar?

Goals and discipline have worked miracles for her in the past, so Jill gives herself a year to find Mr. Right. She arms herself with a plan of action. Jill tries online dating and joins clubs and activities, all in hopes of finding her groom.

As the marriage deadline looms large, Jill considers compromising, perhaps settling for a steady date, but she didn't get where she's at in life by cutting corners. Mr. Right may be elusive, but Jill's going to find him before that deadline or die crying.

Check out this stand-alone rom-com with a happy ending, well, happy for now.

This chick-lit, women's fiction story is perfect for escape with a dose of reality thrown in.
