At twenty-nine years old, single, living in a very small country town, and working in the same job she'd had since she left school, some would say Bel Buckley's life was mediocre at best. But life had sort of panned out that way. She'd always planned to leave - she just hadn't gotten around to it.
Thankfully she had her romance novels to escape to whenever she got too lonely. No matter how desperate a situation got, or how hopeless it seemed, there was always a hero to swoop in and save the day with a happy-ever-after at the end. Despite her best friend trying to set her up with every eligible man in town, no man would ever be able to hold a light to her perfect man: Jax Lexington.
Bel bought every book in the outrageously romantic series and devoured the pages, like the hopeless romantic-addict she was. Despite her friend's concern that it wasn't a healthy obsession, Bel knew it was just fantasy...until the day Jax Lexington landed in town.
Suddenly her fictional hero is real - and he's best man in her cousin's bridal party.
