One drunken night. One fake marriage. One very real problem: I fell in love.
Resisting You, an all-new he falls first, fake relationship, small town, family saga romance and the fifth book in the interconnected Maple Grove Series from USA Today bestselling author Katana Collins is now available!
One wild night in Atlantic City, I woke up with a hangover, a rescue dog… and a brand-new wife sleeping at my side.
Though it started out rocky enough, we quickly realized that this marriage just may fix all of our problems. A few fake vows. Some real paperwork. And a quick fix to rehab my bad boy image and launch her therapy practice. After a couple of years, we’d get an annulment. The plan was clean-cut, brilliant, and easy.
But I should have known… nothing about Rosa is easy. Especially not the way she looks at me when no one’s watching… or the way her voice softens when she says my name, like I’m more than just a mistake.
Now we’re back in my small hometown, pretending to be the perfect couple for a wedding we never planned. The press is circling, secrets are surfacing, and someone’s hellbent on breaking us up. And for the first time in my life, I want something real.
Too bad I already promised her an exit plan.

“Do not sign me up for this, Kristen. I mean it.”
“A Bachelor Auction for charity will look good, Noah. You have to trust me on this. Every other single guy on your show is participating. Even your friend, the tattoo artist, is doing it! It won’t look good if you don’t.”
West was participating in this bullshit? That didn’t sound like him. Then again, after some of his tattoos went viral, he basically became as big of a celebrity as me and I was the one who referred Kristen to him to help manage his career.
I couldn’t help but wonder if that was a mistake. “I don’t care that it won’t look fucking good, I’m not a piece of meat that can be bid on,” I snapped at her. My voice echoed, bouncing off the walls in the small Atlantic City chapel and I winced, looking around where a few couples were waiting to get impromptu married.
Across the room, I caught Rosa’s eye… Rosa Alvarez. The most gorgeous woman I’d ever laid eyes on. And the only woman I’d ever asked out who had turned me down.
Multiple times.
“What’s going on?” she mouthed to me from across the room.
I tried to wave off my anger, but even as I did that, my damn shaky hands gave me away. Her eyes fell to the tremor in my fingers and she dropped her cheek to her shoulder as if to say, Come off of it.
“Sir,” a woman’s voice said behind me. “This may not be a traditional church, but we’re still a chapel. And there are still people trying to get married here.”
“Shit,” I hissed and dragged a hand down my face. “I have to go, Kristen. My best friend is getting married any minute now. Just don’t… don’t sign me up for anything yet. Got it?”
She sighed. “Fine. You have until tomorrow to decide. But Noah, I’m telling you… not participating will be a mistake. You’re single and easily the show’s hottest eligible bachelor. It will go a long way in your contract negotiations for them to see how desired you are by the fans.

🐕Review🐕
When Noah decided to attend his friend’s wedding in Vegas the last thing he expected was to return home married as well. He has always had feelings for Rosa however due to the notoriety of his career he didn’t believe they were destined to have a future together however now that she is his wife the one thing he does know is that he plans to keep her.
Even though Rosa has feelings for Noah she wants nothing to do with the attention that being with him would garner. That decision is no longer hers to make especially as they find themselves dealing with several outside forces that will make it even more challenging to handle the situation they find themselves in.
This heartwarming story finds the perfect balance between humor, family and a love that only becomes stronger when they face obstacles together.
