Matched to the Bride — Day Leclaire

A mother for his daughter? Or a wife for him? Only a fool allows themselves to get burned twice, especially when it comes to the heart. Or, at least, that's the motto Raven Sierra has embraced following the loss of his wife. And though she's gone, their beautiful five-year-old daughter, River, remains. She's the only light he allows in his stark life, and he'll do anything for her. But does that include providing her with a temporary mother? He's compelled to answer that question when River makes a special birthday wish—that the beautiful fairy in her favorite bedtime story be that mother. He can either break his little girl's heart or risk breaking his own. As much as he doesn't want to disappoint his daughter, he wants absolutely nothing to do with romance or marriage. Or so he thinks until gorgeous J.J. Randell shows up on their doorstep. She's the exact image of the storybook fairy and is intent on fulfilling River's wish. She agrees to be the little girl's mommy and—more shocking—his wife, for a week. It leaves Raven questioning everything. Is she the one who can make his daughter's dreams come true? Even more crucial, can she change his mind about love and marriage? Or is a temporary wife in his bed all he deserves? Matched to the Bride is a passionate, tender contemporary romance, guaranteed to make you a believer in happily-ever-after. Note to Readers: Matched to the Bride is Book #3 in The Matchmakers Series, a contemporary romance series by USA Today bestselling author and eleven-time RITA© (Romance Writers of America) finalist, Day Leclaire.
