Shameless
(2026)(The ninth book in the Last Best Place For Love series)
A novel by Giulia Lagomarsino
I’m a guy who loves to be in love.
Until I met her.
She’s gorgeous—the epitome of a knockout.
But she’s a little psycho.
She doesn’t use dressing on her salad, and God knows what other quirks she has.
Not that I’ll get to discover any of those before I walk down the aisle.
For a guy who wants nothing more than to be married, I sure am having second thoughts about this wedding.
Of course, it doesn’t help that it’s more of an arrangement than an actual case of wanting to get married.
I didn’t get to get down on one knee or skywrite some romantic poem to her while asking for her hand in marriage.
There was no weeklong romance where I took her out on magical dates and saw her face light up with laughter.
Nope.
This was just a case of saving the damsel in distress.
That’s right. I rode in on my white horse and saved the day.
There was no kiss to wake her up from a dreamless sleep.
No saving her from a tower.
I just had to get married, and that was the end of it.
Oh, and be a stepfather to her kid, who happened to hate me.
I was pretty sure the little four-year-old was going to off me in my sleep.
But it was going to be fine. Totally fine.
I was a man, after all. I could totally handle this.
I just really wanted that romantic wedding.
