Marry Me, Marla (Wild Rose Ridge Series)

A determined romance columnist.
A humanitarian who secretly loves her.
And one remarkable personal ad.

Marla Mavis is determined to prove she is more than a fluff writer. So, when her news director assigns her to write a heart-warming human-interest piece, she is a dog with a bone. After all, no serious columnist should be stuck reporting local happily ever after stories after her own public broken engagement scared off the slim pickings of men in town.

That is, until handsome humanitarian Sebastian Monroe comes back, directing a faltering homeless shelter with command, flair, and compassion. But Sebastian is the same guy Marla voted most unlikely to succeed in high school. He cannot afford to be the center of Marla’s attention—and ridicule, again—even though the PR would benefit the organization he is committed to revive. What’s worse, he can’t shake off the feelings he has always had for her.

The more Marlavolunteers her time to help Sebastian’s cause—looking remarkably beautiful doing it—the lines between reporter and subject become fuzzy. Will he risk his heart to the woman with the power of the media at her disposal?

If Marla goes forward with the piece, she stands to lose the only man who has ever stuck by her.
