| THE MARRIAGE MANDATE – Shannon McKenna Washington State – Present Day Tech heiress Maddie Moss is facing pressure from her grandmother, Elaine Moss, to marry before her thirtieth birthday or the three Moss siblings, including Maddie, her brothers Caleb, and Marcus, will lose everything they’ve worked for in the family company. While at a friend’s wedding, Maddie spots the last person she would rather be around: Caleb’s ex-business partner (and traitor) Jack Daly. Years ago, Jack and Caleb were in business together and about to launch a revolutionary product, but Jack allegedly sold the product information to a rival in exchange for stock in that company. He served some time in prison, but the betrayal destroyed his friendship with the Moss family. Maddie wishes she could avoid Jack, but he is one of the best men, just she is a bridesmaid, and it’s hard to ignore him. He insists that he is innocent of the charges, though he admits that the evidence against him was strong. For the wedding, they agree to get along, which leads to a sexy dance between them. But Maddie is being hounded by eligible men who know about her grandmother’s demand to get married. With her birthday just around the corner, the pressure is on Maddie to comply. But Jack offers her a solution by suggesting that Maddie get engaged to the worst person possible—Jack. It would only be a ruse, but will it work to get her grandmother to rescind her demand? In exchange, Maddie will review the evidence against Jack to see if she can find anything to clear him. THE MARRIAGE MANDATE is a bit of a complicated tale with several things going on, all the while Maddie and Jack are falling in love with each other. Years ago, Maddie had a crush on Jack, but of course, it ended when he supposedly betrayed Caleb. But the old feelings come rushing back once she is spending time with him.
