Monroe Hills, Pennsylvania – Present Day 

Vanessa Jared has put her failed marriage behind her and moved on with a new life that includes forming a group for women called The Savvy, Sexy, Singles Club. Out of the blue, a man appears on Vanessa’s doorstep with the news that her philandering ex-husband has found a new mark, the man’s little sister. The man is Sheriff Michael Park, and he wants her help in stopping his sister from marrying her ex, Karl. Vanessa’s first response is no, but after seeing a photo of the woman wearing a ring that her ex stole from her, she decides to help. Of course, this will mean spending a night in Monroe Hills, but that shouldn’t be a problem because a couple of her best girlfriends already live there. Alas, getting there comes with problems, including finding herself without a room at the Inn. Michael offers Vanessa a room in his house, which she accepts, knowing that she is finding the sexy sheriff very desirable. With her car now needing to be fixed, Vanessa is going to find herself spending lots of time with Michael. But will she accomplish her goals? 

Vanessa spent most of her adult life married to Karl, an egotistical bully who used her for his own personal gain. Once she realized that he expected her to turn a blind eye to his cheating, she divorced him and took most of his money. She thought that she’d put him in her past but hearing that he’s about to remarry—and he claims that he’s a widower—has her wanting to take him down a peg or two. But after spotting an old family heirloom ring that is hers, she now knows that she needs to get back at him—and get her ring back. Michael thinks a few revelations from the ex-wife will help change his sister’s mind about marrying Karl. But there are a few hiccups in the plan. One, his sister ends up staying longer on an out-of-town trip, and two, Vanessa’s car breaks down. With Vanessa stranded and staying in Michael’s home, the two are soon acting upon their mutual attraction. Will a woman who fought hard to gain her independence find herself falling hard for the man who might become her ex’s brother-in-law? 

Vanessa learned to become strong once she realized she was her ex’s pawn in their marriage. She really doesn’t want to have anything to do with Karl, but Michael’s request is too tempting, especially after she learns that his sister will soon inherit money from a substantial trust fund. Clearly, Karl is after the money since Vanessa left him nearly cash dry with their divorce settlement. Much of VANESSA JARED’S GOT A MAN is her getting to know the little town of Monroe Hills—and falling in love with Michael. Once what she came there to do is done, will Vanessa and Michael go their separate ways, or is there a chance they can see where things will lead? 

A passionate tale of revenge and finding yourself in the last place you expected to be, VANESSA JARED’S GOT A MAN will pull you into the drama and the romance that swirls between Vanessa and Michael. Grab a copy today.
