This Much Is True

USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a "sweet and spicy!" new standalone romance about a runaway bride who finds herself in the arms, and horse barn, of her deliciously handsome frenemy-who just so happens to be her first love.

This isn't your average romance. It begins with me in a wedding dress, just not at an altar ...

I never expected to be a runaway bride. I also never thought I'd end up on my ex's doorstep to flee from said wedding. Now that I'm here, it's easy to find the key in an old boot by the door and let myself inside. It's not breaking and entering if I have a key, right?

It's safe to say that Luke Marshall didn't expect to find me on his couch in my wedding dress, my veil over my face in tears. He has no choice but to listen to my panic-induced plea for salvation. It's only a matter of time before the tabloids get wind of my disappearing act, and my life is over.

Luke takes pity on me and says I can stay... on one condition.

I can't sing for my supper-I have to earn it. I have to work in the barn alongside him, up to my elbows in horse manure. Oh-and because there's only one bed, I get the couch.

This works ... in theory. However, when sparks start flying, and the small-town farrier asks me to stay, I'll have to decide between my life as a pop star or a second chance with my first love.
