Don't Kiss the Bride -- Carian Cole

<p><strong>Carian Cole delivers a sweet but sexy slow burn, age gap, marriage of convenience romance with major swoony feels!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and he was my knight in shining armor. But more accurately, I was a girl with a lot of bad luck, and he was a guy with a lot of muscles and tattoos and a big heart. </p><p><br></p><p>Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and he rushed me to the emergency room. </p><p><br></p><p>Those weren't exactly my best moments, but they were his. </p><p><br></p><p>When he approached me with a crazy idea to help me out with my many problems, I couldn't say no. He offered me a lifeline. </p><p><br></p><p>The arrangement was supposed to be temporary. A marriage on paper and a safe place to live-nothing else. </p><p><br></p><p>It should've been easy, but it wasn't. Because here I am, eighteen years-old, married to a man sixteen years older than me who I was never supposed to fall in love with. We had just one simple rule-no kissing the bride. But then, we broke that rule. Several times.</p><p><br></p><p>Now, I really don't want that divorce we agreed to. </p><p><br></p><p>&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;Does he?</p><p><br></p><br><br><b>Author:</
