Someone Like You

Does the perfect plan have a surprise ending? Wedding consultant Theresa "Teddy" Granville masterfully orchestrates dream weddings, yet her own romantic life is decidedly unscripted, opting for casual flings over lasting commitment. When her matchmaking mother introduces her to Adam Sullivan, a man who seems to have little in common with Teddy beyond his undeniable success, the offer of a pretend relationship to appease her mother presents a seemingly simple solution. However, the chemistry that ignites between them, starting with unexpected slow-burning kisses and escalating into scorching nights, proves that their carefully constructed facade is anything but make-believe. Adam, who initially viewed his "marriage pact" with Teddy as a temporary business arrangement, finds himself increasingly captivated by her intelligence and passion. Known for his bold business ventures and the significant rewards they yield, Adam now faces his most significant gamble yet. He's determined to win Teddy's trust and her heart, a prize far more valuable than any financial success, before their carefully laid plans lead to her walking away forever. This novel exemplifies Shirley Hailstock's signature blend of captivating romance, engaging characters, and the exploration of unexpected emotional depths, making it a standout addition to her collection of beloved stories.
