Contemporary Romance

Los Angeles – Present Day

Viggo Bergman and Tallulah Clarke are as different as night and day, yet they are somewhat friends. Her sister is currently engaged to his brother, so this means they often come into contact with each other. Viggo is romantic at heart and reads romance books that end with a happily ever after, while Tallulah is a newly published thriller author whose books don’t end with a HEA. But now they are about to help each other out and it may forever change their lives in ONLY AND FOREVER. 

Viggo is getting ready to open a romance bookstore in Los Angeles and feels a bit overwhelmed. He encounters Tallulah and learns that she is struggling a little in writing her second novel and needs a place to stay. He offers her a room in his home. In exchange for free rent, she can help him prepare the bookstore for its opening and work there for a few weeks until he has everything under control. What starts as a friendly exchange of help soon turns into more as they become sexually aware of each other. Is it too close for comfort? Or is our couple about to find their own happily ever after…together?

Their relationship starts out distant but friendly in ONLY AND FOREVER. Viggo is a nice guy even though he seems to have his head in the clouds a lot. Or is that due to the audiobooks he likes to listen to? Tallulah doesn’t have much experience when it comes to love, especially since her parents were always bickering when she was a child. Viggo on the other hand, comes from a large family who are always getting together to celebrate one milestone after another. Living in close quarters as roommates soon turns into a battle of wills—of pretending that they aren’t attracted to the other. If they give in to the lust they’re feeling, will it destroy their friendship? Tallulah seems to think so. Can Viggo change her mind?

Much of ONLY AND FOREVER has Viggo and Tallulah waffling a lot about their romantic feelings for each other. With their bad road records in that department, one can understand why they are hesitant to embark on a trip down the romantic relationship path. Meanwhile, she helps him get ready for the bookstore opening, even as he keeps putting off the opening day. He has his doubts about its success. Will Tallulah give Viggo the push he needs? Will he convince her to add a HEA to her newest thriller? In fact, will she finish it as she has promised her publisher? So many questions and one that readers will want the answers to. Find out by grabbing a copy of ONLY AND FOREVER. Will it be a happy ending for Tallulah and Viggo?
