Publisher's summary

A proposal she had no choice but to accept...

Though Eli Grayson is one of the most handsome, charming, and intelligent men in Grayson Grove, no one will take a chance on a confirmed bachelor. Unwilling to give up his dreams, Eli convinces his friend Jewel to pose as his wife. Their masquerade is to last just one night...but when word gets out, Eli and Jewel must tie the knot to save his career - and her reputation.

...became a love she never expected....

Angry at being forced to turn her life upside down, Jewel never imagined that a white-hot passion would consume her once she and Eli became husband and wife. Sharing a bed has turned their prim friendship into a sensuous love affair...but when a woman from Eli's past returns to stir up trouble, he and Jewel will learn just how far they'll go to protect the precious gem of their newfound passion.

Unexpected love

I’m so glad I kept listening to the book after the prologue. Truly, this was a good and clean read of people falling in love and others meeting their destiny based on the evil deeds!

Jewel and Eli, a sweet story

This is yet another brilliantly layered story by the GOAT of Black Romance. From the dastardly Cecile, to the fake marriage of Eli and Jewel, this book had everything - friends to lovers, gossiping neighbors, steamy love scenes, murder, and mystery. All of Beverly Jenkins historical romance novels are amazing, and this is no different. As always, Kim Staunton did a great job with the narration.

IF YOU LIKE ROMANCE.....

I loved that this book contained some historical fact about African American history. other than that, it was your typical romance novel.

Jewel

Love this story . Also with the way Beverly updates you with other charters. Tying the storylines together. True love that Jewel was able to find her love and show strength. And show the strength that it takes to go threw a tragedy.
