Description

Chante Britt is nobody’s fool—and she’s definitely not standing by her cheating ex-fiancé and current mayoral candidate, Robert Montgomery. Too bad he chose to tell the media otherwise. To escape an onslaught of prying reporters, Chante flees to her grandmother’s South Carolina beach house. But when she meets Zach Harrington, she may be out of the frying pan and into the fire. The man is arrogant, way too forward—and way too sexy…

Newly divorced and dealing with a scandal of his own, Zach should stay clear of all women. Yet something about Chante draws him in—maybe it’s the drink she throws in his face after his
too-hot-to-handle surprise kiss. Still, Zach firmly believes they can help each other take the edge off. And once he gets her to agree, what could have been a fling promises to be much more—until their personal and public dramas catch up with them. Will past wrongs keep them from finally having the love that’s right?

Advance Praise

“A great follow-up novel in the Rumor series! This reader loved the pace of the story and found the professional and emotional fallout for Chante and Zach as a result of falling for the wrong people fascinating. Having an in-depth look into the personal background of one of the villains explains his irrational reasoning, and the new villain is so hateful – she is great!.” - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

“Hodges’s second Rumor contemporary showcases her skill at writing sexy, hard-won romances…Supportive and villainous secondary characters alike add richness to make this a delicious, immersive page-turner.” – Publishers Weekly

“[Hodges] knows what romance readers want.”– Library Journal
