The Prodigal Bride — Beth Cornelison

"Marry me, baby."

Wild card Zoey Bancroft is in a scrape. Her ex-boyfriend has left her stranded with no money in Vegas after hearing she's carrying his child. Desperate, Zoey calls her best friend, firefighter Gage Powell. Before she can tell Gage where she is, a loan shark enters her motel room and destroys her phone....

Tired of saving Zoey from yet another bind, but unable to forget the sparks they once shared, Gage impulsively proposes. For the sake of the baby, of course -- it'll be a marriage in name only. But trouble that started in Vegas doesn't always end there, and this time Gage's life -- and love -- is on the line....
