About this listen

In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

Emi and Graham's story is full of witty banter, laughter, friendship, family, tension, inner turmoils, undeniable chemistry, emotional moments and so much more. Will Graham realise what's important before it's too late?...

Savannah Peachwood and Sebastian York were phenomenal in this dual narration!! Savannah has a voice so smooth and gentle, it’s like butter melting on hot toast. I could honestly listen to her all day. Sebastian was incredible with the way he narrated the different voices. I adored listening to them both and thoroughly enjoyed this story!

The narrators were fabulous!! I have found some new favs ✨

This book has an interesting take on the marriage of convenience trope. Emmy and Graham have a very unlikely meet cute, and after Emmy steals his car, Graham tracks her down and gives her an ultimatum..... marry him, and he won't report her to the poilce.

This book has lots of swoony moments allng with lots of laughs and a sprinkling of spicy moments.

The narrators were amazing and brought the characters to life perfectly

Did someone say marriage of convenience!!
