Book 1 in the small-town rom-com series BENEVOLENCE
From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over
Luke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. The last thing he's looking for is a woman to ruin his solitude. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realises she's the perfect decoy: a fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's deployed.
Harper was on her way to starting a new life . . . again. But something about Luke makes her want to settle down in this small town and make his house a home.
Luke never thought he'd feel this way about a woman again. But he knows that he can't tell her the truth about his dark past. And she can't reveal what she's running from.
At least this isn't a real relationship. It's only for a month. It's only pretend. Until it isn't . . .

I cannot recommend this book enough. It gives you that warm fuzzy glow, those hilarious highs, those sorrowful lows and those stomach clenching moments when you know something's about to go wrong. Everything you need for an absolutely amazing read. - ***** Reader Review

Harper and Luke's twist and turn story grabbed me fully by the heart strings. Their characters and story are so life like. It's been years since I felt so close to a character's story. - ***** Reader Review
-
I can't quite find the words to describe how amazing this book is and I feel like anything I do write will not do this book justice. All I know is that I fell head over heals in love with the characters and got lost in the pages for hours! I laughed so hard and at the same time got my heart broken so many times I lost count. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to read the next story in this series. - ***** Reader Review

A wonderfully emotional and heartwarming book - ***** Reader Review
