Unfortunately Yours UK: A Novel – Bailey Tessa (2023)

In this hilarious follow-up to Secretly Yours, a down-on-her-luck Napa heiress proposes a marriage of convenience to a man she cannot stand, only to discover the fine line between love and hate. After losing her job and fiancé at the same time, Natalie Vos returns home to lick her wounds. A few months and plenty of cabernet later, she is ready to get back on her feet, but first she needs her trust fund to finance a new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require her to marry before she can access the money. Desperate, Natalie proposes to August Cates, a man who makes her want to kill him and kiss him in equal measure. August owns a vineyard, but knows nothing about making wine. Determined to do justice to his late best friend, he struggles with an empty tasting room, terrible wine and a business on the verge of collapse. When no bank will lend him the money to turn things around, the gorgeous and feisty heiress arrives at his door. Natalie has haunted his dreams since they met, but their sizzling chemistry soon becomes a stream of simmering insults. A quick marriage could help them both: a sham wedding, a few weeks living under the same roof, and then they can go their separate ways, assuming they survive. There is just one thing they have failed to account for: their unfortunate, unbearable and undeniable attraction.
