Moonlight & Matrimony By: Willa Kay

Ivy

I spent years living in fear, trapped in an abusive marriage, until I finally found the courage to escape with my 3-year-old daughter. What I thought would be a fresh start, quickly turned into a nightmare. When a terrifying encounter with my ex-husband brings my grumpy neighbor to my doorstep, I soon discover he’s not just my best friend’s brother — he's my lifeline, and he’s offering to marry me to keep us safe. As the lines start to blur, I begin to wonder if I’m in over my head. Falling for Luca feels dangerous. How can I keep us safe without losing my heart in the process?

Luca

Moving to Oak Ridge is supposed to be a fresh start, and a chance to reconcile with my sister. I didn’t expect to find myself wrapped around the finger of a charming little girl and my sister’s best friend. But Ivy and Rylin are in trouble, and I can’t stand by and watch it happen. Marriage isn’t in the cards for me, until it’s the only thing I can think of to keep them both safe. As I come to grips my own complicated history, I try to keep my heart guarded, but every day with Ivy and Rylin draws me in deeper. Can I let myself fall for them when my past is filled with loss? Or will fear, or something darker, drive us apart before we even begin?
